Small Meals

Actually, we had no small meals in Sicily. We didn't choose to eat as much at breakfast and lunch. Here's a picture of the breakfast tray at the hotel in Palermo. I love the Italian rolls and breakfast pastries, though they are really rich, and we couldn't finish what was on the tray. At the hotel, in addition to rolls and pastry, there were buffets of scrambled eggs, bacon, cold meat and cheese, and the fruit selection that was present at every meal.


On the day we walked around in Palermo, we ate an outdoor lunch at a cafe that specialized in light meals and desserts. The smoked beef on mixed greens was very good, as was the roulade of beef with stuffing, served on a skewer and fried in breadcrumbs (at right). After this course, we had tartes -- a very small meal compared to our hotel experiences.
