If you happen to be in Palermo do not miss out on the chance of immersing yourself in the color, smells and sounds of the local food markets. It's all about street food and for non Sicilians, even Italians, they are places where a truly unique fusion of culinary influences over many centuries can be experienced.
To enjoy it best, leave your diet regime at home and allow yourself to be carried where your taste buds take you.
Firstly, try sfincione which is focaccia bread fried with onions. Then there is 'stigghiola' which requires a bit of braveness as it is a quite strong flavor dish. It's a sausage cooked with barbecue and made with liver of lamb, provola cheese, onions, boiled eggs, entrails of lamb, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper. People who had it confirm that's delicious!
You can't miss the classical pane (bread) and panelle. this is a delicious sandwich bread filled with a 'panella' which is a pancake made with chickpea flour, water and salt and finally dressed with lemon and black pepper.
Then there are the crocché, a sort of rissole made with boiled potatoes, and the pollanca (boiled corns), salted pumpkin seeds, chick peas and fresh pistacchios.
