PRIVATE - PALERMO STREET FOOD MORNING TOUR

During the morning street food tour participants will taste several samples such as the panelle (chickpea fritters) and the sfincione (tomato focaccia) but also some challenging specialties, such as the one and only pani ca’ meusa (veal lung and spleen sandwich). Guides will unveil the secrets of the local cuisine, giving recipes, sharing historical info and curiosities. Travelers will visit family-run businesses and learn about their story and secret recipes. During the experience, guides also discuss other topics such as history, daily habits and controversial issues.

This tasty experience ends with a seasonal dessert (cannoli in winter time, ice cream in summertime)
