Palermo Street Food Tour

Palermo is famous for its street food.

Following the temptations of the lunchtime food markets, we embarked warily on a street food tour tonight. We had booked this long before we left home.

It promised Sicilian wine and some interesting food that you wouldn't normally find in touristy places.

Most of it was pretty good, but we won't be going back for the veal spleen panini. The best and local way to have gelato is supposed to be on a brioche bun. We had ours in a cone.

Unfortunately, the night was just so hot it stopped the tour being overly enjoyable. It was that humid that the sweat literally poured off you and ran down your legs. Our clothes looked like we had swum in them and this was at 9.30 at night. We had to dry them with the hair dryer so we could pack them for our flight tomorrow.

But it was an experience and gave a good insight into living in Palermo.Læs mere
