Our guide will explain the history of the food markets as we wander. We will learn about the culinary traditions and recipes that are associated with local feasts, some of which date back to medieval times, as well as the harvest and fishing techniques in use for centuries. Strolling through the markets, we will stop at various stands to indulge in delicious Sicilian cheeses and olives, as well as savory snacks such as arancine (fried rice balls filled with either meat ragù, béchamel, ham, or butter), sfincione (deep pan pizza with fresh tomato sauce, onions, anchovies and cheese), and pane e panelle (fried chickpea flour pancakes seasoned with lemon juice). By the end of the walk, we will have a deeper appreciation for Palermo’s unique food and how it relates to the city’s history.
