Thank you @delishtreats ....appreciate hearing the differentiation in the regional food...I have always wanted to visit Palermo...and your trip was just north of there...so ancient, it will have to be included...as well as the dish 'Caponata'.....sounds intriguing.
We have visited Italy a couple of times..but of course one must visit the 'must see' sites first...and now we have introduction to another region through your beautiful and enlightening post.
Kind Regards,
