You have made a really good video and as a local I thank you for promoting Palermo and its delicious food. Just a bit of recommendation for your next video and please take it as just a constructive feedback. Based on what I have seen in this video I have the feeling that you are not familiar with the local ingredients and do not a very sophisticated taste which would enable you to tell the difference between gorgonzola and caciocavallo/parmesan or pecorino (I assume it to be pecorino since the taste mistakenly reminds you of gorgonzola and you found it strong). The former takes origin from the north of Italy, has a different taste and consistency and would never get along well with involtino of melanzane. Also, sfincione is different from the traditional italian pizza (Margherita) and usually includes caciocavallo and/or pecorino. That some kind of sauce that you mention is tomato sauce. It is named sfincione because it reminds the consistency of a sponge (in sicilian the translation for sponge is "sfincia"/"spincia") and this is why it is thicker than traditional italian pizza. And these were only the first 6 mins of the video. For the next time try to understand what you are eating, what kind of local ingredients you are trying and the history behind that dish. I find food a great way to explain the history, culture and traditions of a place so please make an effort to learn more to share with your viewers ;)
@@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254 yes, and for a good reason! look at other countries and how much they lost over decades in terms of language, culture and food.

Palermo deve essere cancellata dalla faccia della terra, come Napoli, Roma, Bologna, Firenze e ogni centimetro quadrato d'Italia... Perché ovunque tu vada metti su 3 kg!!! Love Palermo
I like it because when you don't like it, you're honest about it. That's a part of travelling, sometimes we find something we don't really like it, it's the adventure.
I'm so glad to see that many foreign people comes in my city just to try this kind of food that is the main caratheristic of Palermo. Hope you'll come for another trip here!
I recently moved from my native city Palermo, and you two in this video (and in the other one) had me remind a few beatuiful things (among the others) about Palermo, that usually are taken for granted when you live there. Thank you.
This video has suddenly prompted me to buy a ticket to Italy, it's been way too long since I've had their amazing food. Love doing DIY food tours and seems like you've tried some interesting stuff for sure, will keep it in mind for my next Palermo visit :)
Hey Anna, haha yes it was definitely food stuff that we were not used to, but we had to try it! 😅 Hopefully you will be able to visit Italy again soon, but for now, a braai will have to do! 😜
I love how you guys taste the bizarre foods and do not make believe you like it to prove you're macho! Like so many youtube foodies tend to do. You guys are honest and make the tasting comical !
Oh my goodness, I have had a good chuckle watching this!! You are braver than me. Well done on another wonderful video. Cannot wait to see what you are up to in your next video. ❤️😊🤗
I'll be spending my 2 weeks vacation in Italy next week starting in Palermo, Agrigento, Sorrento, Rome, Assisi, La Spezia, Florence and Venice) Thank you for your videos.
You guys are seriously the best! I recently booked a spontaneous trip to Palermo with a friend and I lowkey had an anxiety attack while planning it urghhh google doesnt always help ^^ but luckily I found you guys. SENDING MY LOVE!!!!!!
Tranquilli...stigghiole, milza, frittola e quarume sono per palati forti, bisogna essere abituati! Figuratevi che io sono palermitana e non riesco a mangiarli lo stesso! Anche per me è stato un peccato che non abbiate assaggiato i dolci, Palermo è rinomata anche per la sua pasticceria, ma credo che dopo un'abbuffata come la vostra sarebbe stato impossibile mangiare qualcos'altro! Solo una precisazione: quello dentro gli involtini di melanzane non è gorgonzola, da noi non si usa, ma piuttosto è caciocavallo o pecorino! Comunque siete stati troppo divertenti con le vostre reazioni!😊👍🏻 P.s. un consiglio: quando mangiate i pesciolini fritti, i più piccoli si mangiano interi, ma i più grandi cercate di togliere almeno la testa, probabilmente verrà via anche la lisca! E inoltre forse avreste bisogno di qualcuno che vi guidi e vi dia delle dritte (disponibilissima a farlo!)...😉😁
@@TechnoGuys99 Neanche io lo mangio spesso perché lo trovo molto pesante, anche da digerire. Però, magari, una volta ogni tre/quattro mesi mi viene il desiderio di un bel pane con la milza o delle stigghiola o della quarume
Great vídeo, I am going to Palermo soon so Thank you for the tips¡ people look friendly and that is a plus. Laughed when you ate the anchoviee, by the way small fish bones are a great source of calcium! So well done!
Found you guys tonight in Sicily. We love Italy and are really enjoying your vids, Oh to be your age again, grab a drink, sitting comfortably, subscribed, binge watching the whole night ! Hoping to head back there this year, please see the world whilst you can…
very nice friends congratulations for these videos I love them. I am from Palermo and despite this area I don't like the sandwich with the spleen so much (so you are not alone).
Hi new friends! We stumbled upon your channel since we are trying to decide where our next travels will take us. Currently we're in Cyprus, and we considered a road trip throughout Italy in May... but after seeing your AMAZING food adventures in Sicily, we've decided to go there to get fat first 😋 We've been nonstop traveling for the past 6 years and are super happy to have found your lovely channel full of high quality videos, rich commentary, and delectable dishes. We are a ménage à trois (husband, wife, and fiancé) always looking for kind locals, cold drinks, and warm weather to accompany us, and it seems Sicily fits the bill perfectly! Thanks for the recommendations and inspiration, and looking forward to binging more of your videos. Caio caio!
Just went to Cappadonia on Sunday based on your recommendation - thanks so much as the icecream and sorbet were OFF THE SCALE amazing! The almond icecream and mandarin sorbet were up there in my Top 10 all time tastes! Ended up having 4 grandes the whole day! 😋
I'm Sicilian, stigghiola and pani ca meusa are acquired taste, even in other parts of Sicily don't eat them. Some dishes you've to grow up to like it. I personally don't like many of the traditional dishes like that, so don't feel bad with yourself.
I'm living in Sicily for the next eight months and you two are HILARIOUS! so entertaining, refreshingly honest, and I'm thoroughly enjoying your perspectives and humour!
What BRAVE you are! Lot of Italians hate entrails! Even for us some textures and flavour are too strong... but as you said " it's an added flavour"! LOL
Thank you Pierdomenico! 😂 they are definitely interesting dishes, some people told us they love them, but now we feel better knowing not everyone does! 😂
Just found your channel, hi from Australia 👋🏼 . This was an awesome visto, my Aunty and uncle live in palermo. I’ve never been but would love to one day.
Love your reactions to the food! Delicious local cuisine. (Tip... for the hard lemons.. take the tines of a fork and put it in the middle of the lemon and squeeze. The juice will come out... Can do it with pieces and halves etc. Just a fork in the middle of the lemon and squeeze!) Look forward to more delicious food and interesting journeys! Have fun! Enjoy! PS the world is your oyster.. or maybe not.. depending where/what you are eating.. Oysters don't have heads or bones! Ha!Ha!
Welcome to Sicily and an explosion of flavors and sites. No caponata!!??Gelato but not granita? We are two expats living in Sicily. you guy are funny trying all of these where are you from ?
Hey guys! Haha yes we have granita and a range of other Sicilian treats peppered in throughout our videos, plus we will have more in the upcoming ones 😅 We still have a lot to try! I (Matteo) am from South Africa but am half Sicilian, Micha is Lebanese, born in Canada and raised in the US. Where are you from?
The little boney fish you called anchovies might have been a fish called white bait in Australian which is deep fried , in Australia how anchovies come in jars submerged in olive oil .
Matteo, you have to leave the spines off, if they are not crunchy. It’s very easy, because the fish is fried. The fried shrimps heads are delicious and crunchy.
Hahaha we tried to keep it together as best we could 😂 thank you so much for your comments Bev, we’re so happy to have you here in our little community! 🥰
Porchetta is arguably the most widespread street food throughout central Italy; you'll find white-painted trucks slinging it all throughout Umbria, Tuscany, Lazio, and Abruzzo.
Props for going the extramile and trying 'odd' foods. Every region has quite a few, tracing back to our farming background. Good luck with "pajata" when you'll be in Rome
@@TheGlobalExpats lol. I mean, I do understand the perception that foreigners have of italian cuisine, but in the end the rural/farming background is really strong, and if you want to take a deep dive into TRUE authentic italian cuisine you can find all kinds of extravaganza 😂 Sanguinaccio, lampredotto, ossobuco, casu martzu, coda alla vaccinara, etc.... In the end, when you have so little, you can't just throw away edible parts: so there are many dishes with liver, brain, stomach, tail, tongue .... 😅😅😅
I didn't think that for a person who is not used to eating things like bread with spleen it could be so traumatic 😂 it is one of my favorite dishes ahahahahah
We have other strange parts of the animals at home (that I still don't eat) but the spleen is a little too much for us, Lorenzo! 😂 Maybe we will just have to try it again someday from a place you recommend 😅
Amazing food you always find the best food in the market. Palermo e molto Bello. I would like to visit there one day usually I go to Corfu Greece every two years for at least 3 weeks.
Kudos you started in Sicily. I became intrigued when I finally figured out that the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, later called Naples had it out with Puedmont Sardinia.
I love the fried potatoes >> what a surprise : ) and my least favorite one was the eggplant stuffed with Gorgonzola (which is a north Italian Cheese). Guys you made my day
You have to try the good restaurants too . Pasta con i ricci and for street food have to try frittola and quarume . I am going to my home town after 10 years and will eat a lot . I live in the US for long time now and i am looking forward to visit Palermo has a tourist . Great video by the way
Basically gelato,eggplant and deep-fried potatoes (kinda spanish croquetas)were the winners 🤣 Truth be told, veals inner parts have an “heavy and strong“ flavour ( i’m not a big fan either,no disrespect taste is taste) Thanks for posting,your accent is soooo particular!
Thank you for your kind words, Fabio! We are 100% going to be visiting Abruzzo, I (Matteo) volunteered on an Agriturismo near Sora on the border of the Abruzzo national park. It is an incredibly beautiful part of Italy and we are very excited to be there in the near future! 👌🏽 Are you from Abruzzo? 🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats Nice to hear from you. My maternal side is from Abruzzo and my paternal side is from Sicily, so I can relate to these videos. I can also relate to walking in Sicily during the middle of a hot day. I was in Abruzzo in 2014 near the national park and visited Sora for a day. As with both of you I am also a history buff.

The sfincione is very similar to RI bakery pizza strips. Soft, fluffy, thick dough with a slightly spicy fresh tomato sauce on top. That's it.
Oh nice, thanks Natalie! 🤗🇮🇹
Lekker guys. Enjoy your time here. Ciao from Vasto.
Thank you Shawn, we will be in your area soon! You are South African? 🙌🏽😎
@@TheGlobalExpats I’m a South African , yes. Been here for about a year now. My wife is Italian.

Thank you so much, that means a lot! 🤗
Sardines are great 😄
Great video! I just subscribed and i am enjoying this series on Sicily and hopefully abruzzo if you ever get there.
Thank you for your kind words, Fabio! We are 100% going to be visiting Abruzzo, I (Matteo) volunteered on an Agriturismo near Sora on the border of the Abruzzo national park. It is an incredibly beautiful part of Italy and we are very excited to be there in the near future! 👌🏽 Are you from Abruzzo? 🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats Nice to hear from you. My maternal side is from Abruzzo and my paternal side is from Sicily, so I can relate to these videos. I can also relate to walking in Sicily during the middle of a hot day. I was in Abruzzo in 2014 near the national park and visited Sora for a day. As with both of you I am also a history buff. Keep up the good work ! From Canada
I want to go to to Sicily and have your experiences.Thank you.
Thank you Peter! Hopefully you will get the chance to visit soon! 🇮🇹
