Sicilian Street Food in Palermo 🇮🇹 CRAZY Italian BBQ + HUGE Arancini in Sicily!!

In this episode, we’re in Sicily! Sicily is a massive island in the south of Italy, the largest island in the Mediterranean! Our first stop on our journey across this culturally rich island is the capital city, Palermo! The ancient city of Palermo is home to some amazing and unique foods, which we will be showing you in today’s video.

We start the day with Granita with a Brioche, a very typical Sicilian breakfast. We highly recommend trying the “Granita di caffe e panna” which is Coffee and Panna, and the “Granita ai frutti di bosco” which is a mixed berry with panna. The brioche was light and fluffy!

📍Caffetteria del Corso

Next, we venture into the Ballàro Market, the crowded and chaotic market in the heart of Palermo. We got to see all of the in-season produce from the agriculturally-rich Sicilian countryside. We also stopped at a street food stall serving all kinds of Sicilian street foods. We wanted to try their massive arancini, deep fried rice balls that are stuffed with ragu. This snack was so big, it could be considered a whole meal!

📍Mercado Ballàro

We still had more food in Palermo that we wanted to try, so we made our way to the Vucciria Market. We found a local bakery to pick up Sfincione, which is Sicilian pizza. What makes it different from other Italian pizza is the use of Sicilian ingredients like anchovies, strong cheese, onions and herbs. It’s also served on a rectangular crust. We sat down the market’s bar to eat the Sfincione and enjoy it with a glass of Italian beer.

📍Panificio Pietro Bonaccorso & Dadalia Osteria

Before taking an afternoon siesta, we had one more street food to try. We went to 'Nni Franco U'Vastiddaru for the famous Pani câ meusa. This is a veal spleen and lung sandwich, served street side. There was also cheese topped on the offal. The texture was good but unfortunately, the sandwich lacked any flavours.

In the evening, we wanted to have a full Sicilian spread for dinner. We went to the traditional Osteria Al Ferro Di Cavallo. Their menu is full of Sicilian specialties, and we managed to pick out some dishes we wanted to try. We ordered “Pasta Sarde e finocchietto” (Sardine & Fennel pasta), “Pasta alla Norma” (Sicilian Pasta with eggplant, marinara, and basil), “Involtino di Carne” (Meat Roll), “Insalata Sicilian” (Sicilian Salad), the most amazing Cannolo for dessert and their house wine to drink.

Was stationed with the military in Sicily at Naval Air Station Sigonella from 2016-2019. Best 3 years of my life. Loved every minute of living on the island. So much to see, do, and eat. Everything you’re eating is bringing back good memories

My compliments to both of you for being so honest and authentic about the food descriptions and the taste. I enjoy watching your video's.

[johnfartenhiemer]

i love how you guys are so genuine in your reviews as in if something isn’t good you’ll say it’s not good. i see so many youtube’s going crazy over every single thing and don’t give their honest opinions. good stuff 👍🏻

Food brings people together on many different levels. It’s nourishment of the soul and body; it’s truly love. Love from Korea🇰🇷💕

My mom is Sicilian but I was born and grew up in the north of Italy. Once in a while we would make trips to Sicily to visit my relatives there and it was like visiting another country, a magical, exotic place with strange foods, language, and traditions. I love Sicily.

I wanted to thank you for the sponsoring and choosing Sicilia as place to visit and let the world know about the opportunities to learn about the history, culture and above all the millenary cuisine to taste....😊❤

[AmandaSparkle]

Such a stunning place... Built in the 1500's says it all! Thanks for all the incredible videos! I love living vicariously through you!

Palerme est définitivement la Ville Européenne la plus surprenante pour la vie nocturne, la cuisine de rue, et ses habitants. On aime Palerme. Et surtout les recettes de tripes au barbecue.

My Dad is from Sicily, i go there almost every 2-3 years, if your still in Sicily, i would suggest to try pesce spada it's a verry tasty fish and as a desert don't miss the Cartucce Sicialine it's filled with ricotta.
Also try a Pizza bianca with Buffala, Mortadella & pistachio from bronte :)
Near Palermo you also have Cefalu verry nice to visit :)

[dimabodnja]

Watched till the very end to see delicious cannoli, aaaand ... hurray! the best dessert in a world

[nicoleranieri]

Shit, that's me and my boyfriend at 4:49! 🙈 We were on holidays, and had just arrived from Naples by boat. We had nothing but 5 hours to kill until we could check in, so we wandered around the city nonstop - that's why we look like we are almost limping haha. We completely fell in love with Palermo and would like to move there in a few years! Good food, beautiful weather, close to the sea... What else can you ask for?

[lnned]

I agree, this city is really gorgeous!

Unlike Italian, which is almost entirely Latin based, Sicilian has elements of Greek, Arabic, French, Catalan, and Spanish. ... A great deal of the actual Italian influence on Sicilian has been since 1860, when, during the Italian Unification, Sicily became a part of Italy.

Sicily ❤️. Brioche has to be dunked in the granita. It might turn soggy but so freaking yummy. Fun fact: in Palermo the rice ball is called arancinA/E (feminine) and it is rounded, in the east part of the island it is called arancinO/I (masculine) and it is cone shaped. I am team arancino/i (the right team obviously 😂).

as a grandson of a native Sicilian... I dream of doing this one day!!
