Maltese cuisine

Maltese cuisine reflects Maltese history, showing strong Italian influences, as well as influences from Spanish, French, Provençal and other Mediterranean cuisines, with some later British culinary influence. Being positioned along important trade routes, having to import most of its foodstuffs, and having to cater for the resident foreign powers who ruled the islands opened Maltese cuisine to outside influences. The traditional Maltese stewed rabbit, stuffat tal-fenek, is often identified as the national dish.
