After writing yesterday's entry, I was browsing through http://www.timesofmalta.com/ and I came across this letter which really proves that there is nothing better than a proper Maltese loaf....despite some of the (unusual) consequences!

Mouth-watering Maltese bread
Brian J. Simmons, Kent, UK
I refer to Don Willcock's comments about the wonderful Maltese bread. Here, in the UK, the often-bland supermarket bread can be both awful and expensive. Unless you can afford to pay about £2 or more for a specialist loaf, or make your own, you are stuck with it. Holiday in Malta, find a baker (not always easy for tourists to find as they are quite often tucked away), buy the traditional Maltese round loaf at an extremely reasonable price and make an appointment with your dentist! I have had a filling and part of a tooth removed by excessive enthusiasm with these loaves but it will never stop me eating them! If only I could take some home! Sadly, that is not an option because, firstly, it would not be as fresh and tasty as it is straight from the baker and, secondly, I suspect that I would have eaten it at the airport while waiting to board!
I agree with Mr Willcock, it must be arguably one of the best breads in the world. Long may it continue.
