Paleolithic Expansion: On the Road to Italy – Milazzo, Sicily

September 6, 2009

When in Rome, do as the Romans. And when in Milazzo, do what the Millazesse do. What this means for paleogastronomers is park your lifestyle for the duration of your travels in Italy, it will be next to impossible to avoid a diet of at least 40% carbs, and possibly lots of fat.

Not surprisingly, you will find pasta, and pizza everywhere. More surprising is other places carbs show up, like in granitas, the traditional Sicilian breakfast, which is essntially flavoured scraped ice in cup with dollops of whipped cream and brioche. It is Sicily after all, so why not start the day with a dessert.

Fortunately, the late night dinners, it is too hot to eat much at lunch, will help you square off protein and vegetables. Grilled seafood, accompanied by salmorillio, and grilled vegetables, tend to make up the average Milazzese dinner. The problem here is that the food is served in great multitudes. Paleogastronomers be vigilant. Our suggestion, take a break for awhile and enjoy the sun, the people, la spiaggia, and a little over indulgence!

Our access to the Internet on the road is somewhat limited. The more spartan regions of Italy are not as well connected as, well, what we are used to. We will have recipes and travel suggestions coming up shortly.
