Arancini on the Continent!: culinary contaminations


Eating an arancino on the ferry when you come to Sicily.What else? 
 This is our WELCOME to all the people coming from the Continent by sea. (Old people still refer to the rest of Italy as the Continent!)
This is enough to me to refuse to buil tthe bridge on the Straits..

In the rest of Italy there are different version, not always successful, of the Sicilian arancino.
Here the Calabrese version: arancino with 'ntuja*..(quite good)

 *ntuja is the traditional salmi produced in Calabria, very soft and very spicy made with hot chili pepper.
The word ntuja comes from the French Andouille which means sausage

 Buon appetito!
 --------------------------------------

   Mangiare l'arancino sul traghetto è una tradizione anche per noi Siciliani. E' considerato il miglior benvenuto per  chi ci raggiunge dal Continente (è così che gli anziani  ancora chiamano il resto d'Italia)
Questo  già per me basterebbe per non far costruire il ponte...

Nel resto d'Italia si trovano ormai diverse imitazioni degli arancini...
 Eccone  la versione calabrese : arancini alla 'nduja*

*La 'ntuja è il tipico salame calabrese , morbido e  piccantissimo. Il nome deriva dal francese "andouille" che vuol dire salsiccia

Buon appetito!

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
