Ah, the Benny Hillesque pitfalls of semi-literacy in two languages. And the menu gives the names of the food in English because it sounds – what – smarter?
FRESH VEGETABLE SOUP
BEEF jew PORK jew Cernia jew ROAST CHICKEN LEG

In case Silvio Parnis is reading this, ċerna (not cernia) in English is grouper.
Do they take overseas bookings? That’s bloody more exciting than spending a whole day contemplating the Impressionists at the National Gallery.
Note the singular – ‘te u pastizz’. Tradition calls for ‘te u zewg pastizzi’.
Kollox ghandna lest, Silvio. Enjoy.
Ah x’gost! Jien sejra u int?Mhux hekk tghid?
Ibbookjajtlek ukoll, Ciccio. Tafni 15-il Ewro.
Kemm tghidli jekk hux BEEF jew PORK jew Cernia jew ROAST CHICKEN LEG. U Deserta jew Entertainment?

That’s not to say about the ‘tluq bil-PRIVATES’.
X’hamallagni!
If one could calculate the collective IQ of all those who attend, I am convinced it would be less than the level found in a packet of frozen peas.
Il-ministru tas-Sawt. Ajma hej, u ommi ma.
Silvio’s cafe and restaurant is doing a roaring business.
He finally has found his calling in life.
“pastizz inkluz”: so Silvio will be there himself.
Ma nafx kif ic-Cermen ghas-Sawt ghandu c-cans ghall-Coffee Morning, bil-leg roast, pork, chicken u fresh vegetable soup.
Ix-Xampanja jonqos.
Asking the target audience to list the qualities of a worthy politician would be hazardous to our health judging by what many are going for these days.
One wonders if the incoming President will be holding coffee mornings on the sister island and if she will rename the new venue ‘oracle’?
Deserta or Entertainment….. you can’t have both.
Kif tista’ ma tmurx!
“roast chicken leg luminata” – a lit up chicken leg? Ah no, roast chicken leg and lemonade.
Hilarious!
Jew deserta jew entertainment. Ghazel.
The advert was amusing but the comments really brightened up my day! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I bet they won’t be having much ‘Deserta’ given the type of ‘Entertainment’ expected.
Which makes me wonder – are we going back to the ‘Deserta’ imitation-chocolate (our first attempt at Zvizzera-fil-Mediterran, I suppose) years? I bet Silvio has fond memories of those times.
‘Deserta/Entertainment’ – Can we have both please?
U pastizz wiehed, marelli? X’qamel. Qisna taht il-Labour.
And how do you take a Cafe’? Sure it should be kafe,caffe or coffee
Biex qed tiskantaw, li pastizz wiehed biss? Jekk tkun midhla tas-Super One, li ssib pastizz, ga hafna.
Biex nibqghu mat-tema tan-nuqqas ta’ pastizz:
Press release tal-Gvern illum:
‘This event will be the first of its kind in Malta, dedicated exclusively to the modern man, from all walks of life. It will be a place to explore changing trends with a focus on quality of life. The intent is to acknowledge Maltese men that truly deserve recognition for all they do making Malta a better place’, stated Dr. Edward Zammit Lewis while launching the Malta Men Expo.
Dik poverta’ prezz ta’ harga Euro 15 biex tiehu pastizz.
Hawn tal-pastizzi shan u tajbin, tlett soldi l`wiehed, erba xelin.
Entertainment min ser ikun hemm, il-Kampanjol? Fil-kas jien mhux gej.
Cekcika sew it-tombla, Silvio?
22 sorijiet, bajd ma’ bajd 22, by itself number one, wiehed, 1. Dahhlu f`s……, Sur Parnis.
Ah finally they are serving the beef!
