I lost the plot on the Mediterranean islands 🏝 thought and thought then got it wrong😁😁😁😁😁 didn't know that there is a phobia about cooking 😳 

I do know that some escape it 🤪 😅 never see them at the cooker but rush to the table!

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - as for my gif, it shows a cheese, on the left, and a mushy pea, on the right, pair of pastizzi - commonly found where the Karozzin, 4-wheeled horse-drawn carriage is to be found, peculiar to the island of Malta. More below for those interested in the tasty morsels shown, a pretty good article which fully covers the tasty tidbit, from filling to flavour to form - and other semblances thereof... 😁
