Colazione siciliana dolce e salata

The Sicilian breakfast attracts many. One imagines the inhabitants of the island starting the day with a riot of delicacies, the same ones that are part of the collective imagination and of which tourists on the island feast on such as to accumulate those extra 2-3 kilos in a few days, souvenir of every self-respecting Sicilian stay.

But what do you (really) eat for breakfast in Sicily ? Do expectations equal reality? While we are preparing to reveal how Sicilians have breakfast , start heading to a bar, the sanctuary in which to consume this "holy" meal.

Sweet Sicilian breakfast: what do you eat?

We are in summer and it is right to start with the Sicilian summer breakfast , which is mostly sweet. There's no getting around it: summer mornings on the island – with the excuse “we're on vacation, anything goes”, begin with granita and brioche . There are many flavors of the first, the most popular are almond, pistachio, strawberry, lemon, coffee and chocolate (but you can find some goodies, every pastry shop boasts delicious specialties). Obviously not everyone knows it, but it is a real ritual . This means that, within this indispensable moment, nothing is left to chance, on the contrary.

How to eat granita with brioche?

So, before moving on, we need to take a dutiful break to explain exactly how to eat granita with brioche . Take note:

  • first of all, the "tuppo" is detached from the latter
  • then it is dipped in the granita of the moment (or in the whipped cream, if, as we advise you to do, you have chosen to let us put it). Warning, this one doesn't suit all tastes – some Sicilian bartenders felt shivering at the request for a lemon granita with cream, or a citrus and chocolate cone (but that's another story…).
  • Well, we said... once dipped, the tuppo is taken to the mouth and away, towards a mystical experience that only those who have tried it can really imagine.
  • Once this is done, you can continue to detach pieces of brioche and dip them from time to time, or accompany them with teaspoons of granita.

By the way, on vacation it is strictly forbidden to wonder how many calories a brioche with granita has . Just enjoy your well-deserved breakfast, you'll find out when you get back on the scales from your holidays.

Sicilian sweets for breakfast

Of course, the breakfast options don't stop there. Because, in addition to ice cream (in a cup, on a cone or in a brioche), you can still treat yourself to one of the cornerstones of Sicilian desserts that have no seasonal limits. We are talking of cannoli filled with ricotta , of course, but also of cassata or Sicilian iris (all are strictly filled with ricotta cream, which is the original version, but you can range between pistachio and chocolate).

Other Sicilian desserts for breakfast are raviole, but croissants are also widely available (or at most croissants, don't call them brioche! For Sicilians, the only ones are those with tuppo!). To be accompanied or not with a cappuccino.

Savory Sicilian breakfast

Equally satisfying is the Sicilian savory breakfast . Yes, because in addition to sweets of all kinds, Sicilian bars usually also boast a good range of street food to which it is practically impossible to say no. Even at 8 in the morning. And, yes, don't turn up your nose, but sitting at the table you could see someone intent on starting their day by biting into an arancino (or arancina) with meat sauce; a small onion (protagonist of the Catanese breakfast and of the province); a piece of sfincione (if instead you are in the Palermo area) or even a scaccia, if you are indulging in a tour of the Baroque in Sicily.

So yes, if the Sicilian breakfast with granita and brioche is a must, it doesn't mean that you can't vary it by giving something savory a chance. Also because Sicilian delicacies are many, and holidays are always too short: you risk not being able to try everything.
