Author: Mandy MaloneOnce in a while, avid car lovers do keep referring to choosing the best summer tires for their cars. Most of the times they do so on purpose just to impress others with their knowledge of essential car accessories! This write up is meant to make you as well informed, if not more, than such supposedly automobile wizards. In simple terms, summer tires are manufactured using a slightly different mix of rubber for their body and a tread too designed differently so as to make them suited for use in altogether different climatic conditions during summer. The weather gets hot (in terms of temperature), so do the road surfaces and the normal tires available are simply not equipped for safe run during the changed weather conditions. Summer tires are often referred to as high-performance tires while the common tires as all-season tires. This is so as the technology to equip them for summer use viz. better road grip and lower hardening of their body despite higher temperature, is based on the one developed for performance driving.

The island of Malta is typically Mediterranean, especially when it comes to food and wine. In Malta, one can find a vast array of restaurants, cafs and take-outs that range from typical Maltese food, to Japanese sushi and Oriental Cuisine. Maltese cuisine itself is rustic and seasonal. One very popular year-round meal is the Fenkata where Maltese families go to very casual and usually small specialized bars and restaurants in order to eat a meal of rabbit. This is usually made up of a first course of spaghetti with rabbit sauce, followed by rabbit (usually fried in garlic and tomatoes), and finally nuts and sweets. The sweet that is most often coupled with the rabbit is the Helwa tat-Tork which is a sweet sugary mixture of crushed and whole almonds. Another dish that is sometimes served before rabbit, but can also be found in many typical Maltese restaurants, is Bebbux. Bebbux is the Maltese word for snails, which is a delicacy in Malta. When visiting Malta or Gozo, be sure to give this a try!Lampuki Pie is another dish that should be looked out for when visiting the islands and is basically a typical Maltese seasonal fish pie. Other interesting dishes are the Widows Soup...more
