Lunch at home on New Year’s Day

 In TasteHistory

Our final post from Pietro Paolo Castagna’s book Lis Storia ta Malta bil Gzejer Tahha bears a strong sense of foreboding for those who do not join their families for lunch on New Year’s Day.

Nhar l’euel tas sena, hat ma jonkos mid dar ghal pranzu: ghax min ma jecolx mal familija f’rasa (vuldiri f’ras is-sena) imut f’denba!

No one misses lunch at home on New Year’s Day, for those who do not eat with their families at the year’s beginning will die at its end!
