Panelle and Crocchè
it would be the colour of the panelle. They are savoury fritters made with chick-pea flour and are mainly eaten in the streets, in a loaf wrapped in paper yarn waste. Cut into smaller shapes, they are part of the typical hot starters you could be served, pan-fried, potato croquettes, also known as crocchè. 


Pane Ca' Meusa
U 'Pane ca' meusa, italianized in "bread with the spleen", is an example of Palermo's gastronomic tradition in the field of so-called "street food". The correct pronunciation in Palermo would be wrapped up with an elongation of the syllable ie.
This is a loaf ("vastedda") to the sesame stuffed with pieces of spleen, lung and trachea ("scannaruzzàtu") of pre-cooked calf and floured in a slow fire in the sugna, in copper pans. Both the spleen and lungs are first boiled and then sliced to be fried, strictly, as tradition, lard or sugna want. Once ready, the inevitable: bush or married?
Just so, because the sponge with the spleen is served bacon (bacon, unmarried) with the simple lemon squeezed over, or married (married, married) with cheese and fresh ricotta.

Stigghiola

Palermo's stigghiola is a dish typical of the poor Sicilian tradition.

It is served mainly on stalls at festivals and fairs. It is usually prepared by the same seller who in Sicily is called stigghiularu. These fun stalls are attacked every day by whole local families, but also by eager tourist to know the traditions of the place and well-dressed people, perhaps in jackets and ties. Stuffed stalls are in full swing especially in the afternoon when they start preparing the grill with the brazier, far ahead of cooking the dish. What attracts virtually everyone is the smoke that rises high in the sky and makes it clear that the reader is ready to welcome his many customers with this delicacy.

Sicilia occidentale in Bici

Sicilia occidentale in Bici Maggio è un buon mese per andare alla scoperta della Sicilia occidentale , lontano dalla folla e dal caldo torrido, per scoprire le bellezze di questa parte dell’isola. Scorci incredibili, mare turchese e una cucina ricca di sapori che mai lasciano delusi. Partendo da Terrasini, in direzione ovest si arriva al paese di Castellamare del Golfo, che sorge alle pendici del complesso montuoso del Monte Inici e dà il nome all’omonimo golfo prospiciente il castello. Ed ancora il caratteristico paesino di Scopello, Custonaci centro marmifero da cui si estrae il celebre marmo denominato “perlato di Sicilia” e Scurati borgo molto originale. Seguendo la strada provinciale mi dirigo verso San Vito lo Capo, rinomata località balneare della Sicilia. Dopo un rinfrescante bagno inforco nuovamente la bici e ripercorro a ritroso la provinciale in direzione Trapani. La città ha sviluppato nel tempo una fiorente attività economica legata...

It is a Gorgon's head whose hair consists of braded snakes and ears of wheat, and it symbolizes Sicily's fertility. Three legs bent at the knee radiate from its head. Gorgon was the name given to the mythological daughters of Forco and Ceto, two gods of the sea usually described with wild boar tusks, bronze hands, golden wings and snakes wrapped around their head and waist. According to Hesiod, they were Medusa (the Gorgon for antonomasia), Stheno (the mighty) and Euryale (the far-springer).

Ciauru di Sicilia Visiting Sicily and More... "Zabbinata a Camagna Country House" Ricotta is not a cheese but a creamy curd. The curd is literally cooked twice hence the name "ricotta," re-cooked. The leftover hot whey of milk used for cheese making has milk solids and a protein called albumin, which solidifies under high heat. When the whey is reheated (re-cooked) the solid milk parts are skimmed off to drain, and this is called ricotta cheese. Ricotta is known as an albumin or serum cheese, a cheese made as a by-product of provolone cheese from the recooked whey, hence its name. The foam of the whey when it is being recooked is called zabbina in Sicilian, which comes from the Arabic word zarb, thought also to be the root of the custard dessert zabaione. The best ricotta is made with sheep's milk. Ricotta salata is a Sicilian specialty made from drained and dried ricotta. It is used in salads, grated over pasta and stuffed into...
