Well I didn’t learn much grammar either and learnt Maltese and English by imitation and reading plenty of different material. Although I remember being taught some Maltese grammar in secondary school.

However I would have loved learning more grammar because I find it fascinating knowing how rules originate and why words and construction of sentences are what they are. I love looking at the whole picture, know that it’s correct and why it’s correct.

Finally! A fellow anti-foodie!

Here’s to tinned sardines, beans on toast, boiled eggs and porridge. And coffee, of course. Instant.

The formidable Horatio.

Some who finds McDonald’s full probably.

And here in jolly old Vienna there’s nothing for free in a restaurant – a slice of bread costs a euro – and I’m pretty sure they’ve never heard of no Amus Bush. Never seen a free appetizer anywhere.

Thanks, Mr Baxxter, but that ain’t much help.

You mean, I should worry about failing to grasp some obscure culinary term once every 55 years? I don’t think so.

I’m an anti-foodie and proud of it. Doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good meal out but there is no way on earth I’ll ever watch some celebrity chef, or take the slightest interest in hunting down new ways to cook.

Now this is the future of food:

It all makes sense once you know the classics.

God knows why the powers that be (not only in Malta) all think that the classics are dead or obsolete.
