Festa ta' San Guzepp

The feast of St Joseph is celebrated in the town of Rabat, and the celebration includes a procession, fireworks, and the traditional meal of rabbit stew (fenkata). The rabbit is the national dish of Malta, and the tradition is to cook it in wine, garlic, and tomatoes. The rabbit stew is slow-cooked for hours, and the result is a tender, flavorful dish that is the centerpiece of every Maltese feast. Rabat is adjacent to Mdina, the Silent City, and the feast of St Joseph is also a celebration of Rabat's identity as a separate town from its more famous neighbor. The feast includes the "haxixa" (herbs) market, where the women of Rabat sell fresh herbs and vegetables.

Products of Turks and Caicos Islands Day

You find that Turks and Caicos Islands, as a small Caribbean territory, produces no internationally recognized brands of its own. You appreciate instead the islands' reputation for quality salt historically exported globally and their fresh seafood, with most consumer brands imported from the United States and Caribbean neighbors.
