Easter in a Catholic country such as Malta meant that the Church largely dictated what one could and couldn’t eat, so there are a number of food items that are directly associated with the period of Lent or Easter Sunday.

Dr Noel Buttigieg, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Tourism Management within the Faculty of Economics, Management and Accountancy, mentions a few of them in a short reel shot for the occasion.

• Ftajjar tar-Randan
• Qagħqa tal-Appostli
• Mazzit tal-Abjad
• Seba' Bukkuni tad-Duluri
