Rabbit – Malta’s national dish
The origins of rabbit in Malta are thought to date back some three and a half thousand years, with the mammal most likely introduced to the archipelago by the Phoenicians. It is thought the Phoenicians brought the animal to Malta from its natural habitat on the Iberian Peninsula, in order to secure access to fresh meat while stopping off in the islands mid-journey across the Mediterranean.
