Sicilian food,or how to forget about any diet

pizza alla norma

As i promissed i wirte here about the best italian food ever - Sicilian food! You can ask, what is so speial about it. Oh, guys, it is so good that you cant believe it is real)

First of all all pasta and pizza: the most traditional pasta/pizza is alla norma. It is past/pizza with fried eggplants and something else =) Also pasta with seafood is really good here, because seafood is all around you)

Cannollo

Second, Arancini. Arancini is the best invention for the quick snack/lunch/brunch. It is fried riceball filled with anything you can imagine (literary!) My favourites are arancini with ragou and arancini with pistachio - try it, you want regret)

What i loved is sweets. Sicilian people know everything about it. They make amazing thing from pistchio, almonds, lemons, ricotta, fruits and chocolate. The best thing here and very wellknowen is Cannollo.It is fried dough filled with delicious ricotta or chocolate cream. It is heaven for your mouth! Also sweets made from pasta di mandorla (like marzipan) are really good and you have a lot of different fillings in it. What else? Cassata! It is cake filled with some cream chees and dried fruits, very good, VERY sweet)

Also in Sicily people believe that gelato was invented there, so they have really good one! And they have very strange way of eating it: they put THREE scoops of gelato into brioch and decorate it with weaped cream. To be honest i didnt finish mine XD

Sicily is also a native place for granita. It is semi-frosen swwet made from sugar, water and some fruites or nuts. It is something between gelato and juice) My favorite aste is mandorla and pistachio together, try it)

As they have almond there they make amazing drink out of it - latte di mandorla. I cant describe it, it is just very very good)

Aaaaand alcohol) The most famous wine (and the best one for me) from Sicily is calle Nero d"Avola. Also they make famous Limoncello (that i dont really like) and many other liquors, like chocolate, pistachio,almond and many, many other.

OMG after writing all of this i'm starving!
