Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

1

My husband and I may be moving to Malta and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about what is available. I've heard that much like Hawaii their native diet has been largely replaced by cheap grains, canned foods, and other easily importable stuff.

I'm thinking I may have to eat a more pescetarian/dairy based diet if I want to stick with wild/grassfed proteins. Has anyone here ever vacationed there? How hard was it to get organic (or organic practices) produce? Does anyone know if outdoor chickens are common? I'll be so sad if I can't get good eggs anymore.

My dad's family is from Malta (and, funnily, my mom lived in Hawaii), but haven't been back in 20 years! My dad remembers lots and lots of chicken/chicken eggs. Fish twice a week. I'd be interested in seeing the answers here and reporting back the changes to him! – JeJ Jun 7 at 17:11

I LOVE MALTA!!!

First of all, it is very safe. A single girl can walk around the city in the middle of the night and still be safe. They are all Catholics and they are very very devout. Second of all, Maltese guys are HOT. And they are SO NICE!!! They are like the nicest people on this planet. I know you are married, but... just for your information.

As for the food - it is fabulous, but you watch out for rabbit starvation :) They LOVE rabbit meat (with red wine sauce).

There are plenty of fruit and vegetables, not sure if it is organic or not, but good quality. Actually, it is a bread country. They LOVE THEIR BREAD. The quality of their bread is excellent, but nothing to die for if you want to stay Paleo. The cuisine is a mixture of Italian, Arabic and rabbit. It is a very small island, so there are not a lot of places for herds of cows - only rabbits, chicken and fish (it is an island). Of course, there is beef too, but I think it is going to be more expensive.

You can get very very good food there - much better than in the States. And you can still be Paleo. Don't worry :)
