Syracuse is one of the cities in Italian Sicily. In this article we will talk about the Sicilian cuisine, and then about Cafe and Restaurants Syracuse - wherever you can try.
Sicilian cuisine
So, the Sicilian cuisine is one of the varieties of all familiar Italian cuisine, however, with some differences - after all, other nations have lived on the island that influenced the formation of Sicilian cuisine. First of all it is Spanish, Greek and Arabic cooking.Arabs brought various spices to Sicily, among them saffron, nutmeg, carnation, sweet pepper and cinnamon. Thanks to the Greeks in Catania (this is the eastern coast of the island, there used to be a Greek colony) Sicilians used in cooking olives, beans, fish and fresh vegetables.
From fish in Sicily, we especially love tuna, sword fish, sea bass and squid.
Thanks to North Africa in one of the Sicilian provinces prepare Couscous.
Popular on Sicily and cheeses - purely local varieties are called Pekorino Siciliano and Kacocal.
Pekorino Sicialyano - This is a solid Italian cheese, which is made from sheep milk. It is produced in the territory of all Sicily, but for more than twenty years of its production, in addition to the stroke island, it is forbidden.
Kacocallo - This is another cheese produced from sheep or cow's milk. Unlike Pekorino, it is soft and sweet.
