Gibraltar has started to become a sea of red and white, if one can have a sea of red and white.
Gone is the red, white and blue bunting to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, and in its place is the red and white to symbolise Gibraltar in advance of National Day celebrations on Monday (September 10).
Even Morrisons staff are allowed to abandon their green and white school uniforms for red and white patriotic clothing.
In John Mack Square/Piazza there was a fine band.
I asked Partner to record it with the iPhone. He didn’t. When I started, they, er, stopped playing.
Pix of National Day to follow on Monday. Maybe vids too. Maybe not.
In the meantime, last night, we celebrated redundancy with a take-away pizza from Quattro Stagioni on Jumpers Bastion.
Many years ago when we were affluent, we had a phase of eating there. As did Pippa, because we sat outside in the evening sun. Here is his review and some photos.
Since the opening of Mamma Mia, Quattro Stagioni must have taken a real drop in takings. Mamma Mia is in Boyd Street, opposite the Queen’s Hotel, and basically in the bottom corner of the car park by the cable car, ie nearer to town.
These two Italian restaurants are within five minutes walk of each other. Mamma Mia is invariably busier than Quattro. It is also cheaper, and if they are aiming at tourists, they are far more likely to be visiting the cable car than wandering along Jumper’s Bastion, so not a bad location.
I’ve never eaten at Mamma Mia so I can’t compare a sit down meal at both places. I’m not planning to eat there either as I think Quattro is a much nicer location and the menu is better.
Let’s compare take-away pizzas though. A nice simple like with like.
It is my job to ring up and order a pizza. Naturally this leads to a marital dispute. For some reason my partner thinks I should order in English. I have no idea why, as I can speak and understand Spanish better on the ‘phone than he can. I doubt he could get the order right in English, let alone Spanish.
Anyway, as he set off for Quattro before I ordered I had the flat to myself and happily ordered in Spanish.
Readers will not be surprised to hear that I ordered a pizza vegetariana. Grande, grandissimo, I added. Con aceitunas. Negra? she asked. Sí.
So we have the biggest veg pizza with black olives. I have learned it is not cheap a good idea to ask for extra toppings that I can put on myself, but I had no black olives in, (note to self – buy some) but at least Quattro does chuck a fair handful on. Once back home, I chopped up some hot green finger chillies, some garlic, and chucked on the last of the capers. (Note to self, buy more capers).
I like this pizza. I like the courgette and the aubergine, as it gives it a really fresh veg taste. Plus there is no gloopy tomato sauce sogging the dough, and very little cheese. The dough is extremely thin and crisp.
Onto a Mamma Mia pizza. Same thing, another vegetarian one, but with no extra toppings. I added green olives, and capers, chillies, garlic again.
This is a totally different pizza, onion, sweetcorn and peppers are the main toppings, before I add my extras.
Despite how full this pizza looks, it wasn’t as big as the other one. I should have either ordered a grandissimo one from Mamma Mia, or two of this size as we ganneted it all and still felt hungry. No complaints about the pizza, good dough, and enough veg.
OK. Bottom line.
Large pizza from Quattro with extra olives (£1) – £13.50
Pizza of indeterminate size from Mamma Mia – £7.50 (no extra toppings)
Big price difference. But, we had two pieces left from last night’s Quattro one that served for brunch today, and the other one from Mamma Mia just wasn’t big enough for a decent meal for two people. Two would have been better, which makes the price difference insignificant.
I like the ingredients on the Quattro one better, but the Mamma Mia one is OK for a change.
What about Indian take-aways?
Well, we used to eat at the Maharajah on Queensway Quay, which according to the staff at their Tuckey’s Lane restaurant (off Main St, by Barclays), is currently closed.
Part of the recent take-away flurry was because I was feeling a bit off colour the other week and totally incapable of cooking, so poor old Partner came in from work and then traipsed out to pick up some food.
From the Maharajah, I ordered garlic nan, peas pilau, bhuna veg curry and sag aloo. I think the only thing on the take-away menu was the garlic nan (we didn’t have a menu at home at the time, but Partner brought one back). I do like flexible restaurants where you can order what you want, and they just say yes and get on with it.
The Maharajah meal was slightly under £15. This was for two people, and one greedy Partner had seconds. He then took the rest of it to work for his meal the next day (much to my annoyance when I fancied some reheated curry).
Needless to state, Pippa has reviewed the Maharajah restaurant on Queensway Marina more than once.. And when Partner was chatting while collecting his food the other evening, the waiter reminded him that we could always take the dog into the town restaurant too! OK, so they want our money, but that is a good way to go about it.
There are other take-aways in Gib, we have used the Mumtaz and the Mumbai, but Maharajah is still our fave. It doesn’t have that same sauce dished up with everything that only varies by a couple of spices. Or if it does, they do it more cleverly. I like the flavour of spices to come through, and not some claggy sauce with some hotness added.
So, once that flurry of take-aways was over, it was back to making more of my own Indian food. Moving on from fruit chutneys to tomato. It was OK, but I prefer the fruit ones. Oddly, they are actually sharper. [recipes may appear or may not at some point]
I have plenty of other news but Gibraltar is chilling out this weekend. Celebrating being Gibraltarian, British, and definitely not Spanish.
Wishing everyone in Gibraltar a great National Day on Monday. And apparently the British Foreign Office in Whitehall will be flying the Gib flag for us on Monday. Good one. Just make sure you keep those naughty Spanish fisherpeople and their Guardia Civil escort out of Gib and British territorial waters.
Foreign Office ministers David Lidington and Mark Simmonds, respectively the ministers for Europe and the Overseas Territories, have said they welcome the raising of the Gibraltar Flag over the FCO in Whitehall to mark Gibraltar Day.
“From now on, the flags of each UK Overseas Territory will be flown over the FCO one day every year, to mark a significant day in each of their respective histories,” said an F&CO spokesman. “I send my greetings and best wishes to all Gibraltarians ahead of Gibraltar National Day. It is a day to celebrate the people of Gibraltar, their community and identity.
“It is fitting that Gibraltar’s flag should be flown annually in London to mark this occasion,” said Mr Lidington, who has responsibility for the EU and Gibraltar.

Thanks. I do think sometimes commercial pizza firms are a bit unimaginative. When I make them at home they tend to be very green, ie courgettes, aubergine (ok not green), spinarch/chard, fresh tomato, onion – and I leave off the cheese.
Chucking half a tin of sweetcorn on doesn’t really do it for me, as I say, depends on personal taste. To be fair, the red onions and peppers were good. Interesting how different chefs interpret the same meal huh?
I was brought up in a family that considered curry to be ‘wog’ food (I repeat the racism deliberately). Although there were always jars of mango chutney around and my mother would occasionally cook an Anglo-Asian curry. But I never ate Indian food until I went there.
Somehow it just seeped under my skin. If I feel sick or don’t know what to eat – Indian. There is always something interesting or tasty to cook – makes a pile of dishes to wash sadly though. It probably is my favourite food for the sheer sublime blend of flavours and spices.
So-called western food relies on expensive ingredients with adjuncts. Curried food relies on familiarity with spices, herbs, flavours and an all round appreciation of the combination of what eat. Oh dear, bit philosophical there.

Thanks. Food, the expense of some of it, the amount that is thrown away, the amount of store bought convenience food compared with people who make great meals out of nothing tends to get me on a soapbox. When see fillet steak for £44 a kilo and think about people starving it sticks in the craw somewhat. I’m the first to say I used to enjoy it. I guess it’s a progression over the years, but good food does not need to be expensive. Nor should it exploit people or animals. See, I told you it was a soapbox issue!

I love how Gib gets dressed up, and it does it well :) Pippa does a great restaurant review. If he’s missing that calling, maybe he can review some of your home restaurant cuisine, adnd I’m sure he’d oblige with some takeaway reviews. The pizzas with your additons looked lovely, as do all your food photos, ditto for the tomato chutney which I’m very fond of, on toast, preferably with cheese. Friday night is our pizza night but we eat it as it comes in the door (just getting decent home delivery pizza on time is a feat, believe it or not). We order a large ($21 – approx the same as your Quattro, and free delivery), the G.O.’s half is supreme with anchovies & no pineapple. I don’t like all that meat, and like a change from time to time but my standby is gourmet ham & pineapple which comes with not too much but good ham, brie, fresh tomato & basil but I get them to leave off the pineapple & tomato, and add olives and mushrooms… odd I know, but much cheaper than building my half from scratch as they don’t charge extra for the vege extras… found this out the expensive way. Depending on how hungry we are it’s enough but if we get a garlic ciabatta ($5) there’s always at least 2 pieces of pizza left over for the next day which is what I was eating for Sunday breakfast when I read this post – nice :) As for Indian, I tend to cook Asian style curries that I can incorporate tofu and common ground veges into, and occasionally noodles as the G.O. doesn’t eat rice or selected veges. We had a great Indian home delivery but as with so many, it went off so we’ve given up for the time being… but some busy Saturdays the G.O. would look hungry and say “butter chicken?”, so I’d order that & garlic naan for him, and biryani rice & daal with sides for me – about $40 but enough leftovers for 2 lunches (with salad added) for me. I have cooked butter chicken from time to time at the G.O.’s request but takeaway is obviously much easier… I must give Indian bread with potato in the dough a try- your’s looks delicious.

Thank you, Pippa enjoyed his brief spell as a rest crit. Take-aways aren’t quite the same in his book for some reason.
You knew I would ask about the prices if you didn’t add them! We’ve just been arguing about the currency rate and I was right based on your pizza price :D We don’t get free delivery :( – Pizza Hut delivers free but I don’t really like their pizzas. As for swapping one thing for another and not getting charged – I wish. I used to hate the ham and pineapple combo even when I wasn’t vegetarian (says she who put pineapple on veg kebabs last night). In fact I can’t remember what I used to eat before I was veg, probably either ham or pepperoni – from a pizza place in MacLeod Street, Potts Point. It was very good, nice and thin and he would whirl the dough around.
I can’t bear buying dal, it is just too easy to chuck lentils in pan, and make a spice perfumed butter to finish it off. I try and buy things I don’t make, so then it is a real change.
I think I might sort out the recipes page on here, and split it into sections, so I’ll add the potato bread recipe.
