A US blogger has enshrined their Top 10 Food Experiences in Sicily. I have listed them here and added my own comments for further information.
- Fresh Ricotta. It is a well known secret that the Sicilian shepherds keep the best ricotta for themselves. Break into this inner circle and your taste buds will thank you.
- Cassata. And not like any cassata you haver tasted before. This is the real stuff.
- Gelato. Sicilians basically invented the stuff.
- Gelato in Brioche (sweet bread bun). Strange but incredibly addictive. After this you realise that this is the way gelato is supposed to be eaten.
- Watermelon Pudding. Only Sicily and North India share this exotic dessert in common. a relic from the ancient spice trade.
- Fragoline. Tiny, sweet, delicious strawberries.
- Arancine. Need I say more?
- Fruta di Mattorana. Actually made from real fruit...and are actually quite delicious.
- Seafood. In particular Tuna and Swordfish.
- Wine by the Carafe. Vini di Paesi or Vini Locale. Either will be good.
