Something about "fast food"

During the period of the Greek invasion of Sicily, between the 8th and 6th centuries BCE, the settlers introduced new culinary traditions. In the Greek cities of the island, small eateries emerged that can be considered early versions of modern fast food. These establishments, called thermopolia, were shops located along main streets where ready-to-eat meals could be purchased to consume on-site or take away.

The thermopolia were characterized by stone counters that housed large jars used to store warm foods like soups, stews, and grains. The most popular dishes included barley bread, olives, dried figs, and local cheeses, often served with wine. This type of dining was especially convenient for merchants, craftsmen, and travelers, offering them a practical and affordable way to eat.

The cuisine of the thermopolia reflected a blend of Greek and Sicilian culinary traditions, combining local ingredients such as honey, almonds, and aromatic herbs with the flavors and techniques of Greek cooking. This model of fast dining demonstrates the cultural and everyday influence the Greeks had on the island.

This habit of eating on the go also became common in Roman times: in the tabernae, spectators of games in amphitheaters could buy food during the long days of entertainment.

Let's make arancini next Sunday for Santa Lucia! Although we can’t meet in person to celebrate la Festa di Santa Lucia this year, we can meet online! Together with my friend and colleague in Sicily, @alesmileandfood, we’ll be teaching you how to make rice balls (Arancini) and cuccia (sweet farro traditionally eaten for the feast) as well as discussing the traditions of the Festa di Santa Lucia–like, for example, why rice balls and what exactly is cuccia and why do Sicilians eat these dishes for Santa Lucia?! | When: Sunday, December 13 at 12 noon Eastern | Who: Special Guest Alessia Liistro of Smile & Food who will be live from her kitchen in Siracusa, Sicily | Where: Online via Zoom | Details and Register at https://experiencesicily.com/santa-lucia-2020/. #experiencesicily #sicily #arancini #arancine #santalucia #saintlucy #sicilian #siciliantraditions #palermo #siracusa #riceballs #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly #whatsicilyis #viverlasicilia #sicilytour (at Palermo - Sicily - Italia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIcfA0kligO/?igshid=imo5hd6zk3zz

Today we'll make rice balls and cuccìa at noon (eastern time) for Santa Lucia. Details at https://experiencesicily.com/santa-lucia-2020/ | In the days leading up to the Feast of Santa Lucia, December 13, many Sicilians refrain from eating pasta and only eat un-ground wheat grain, or “farro,” that is prepared as a dish called cuccìa. Devotees observe this ritual to remember the severe famine that struck Siracusa and Palermo in 1646. During that time of Spanish domination, the faithful prayed to their patron saint, seeking relief from hunger. Finally in May, during a mass, a squawking quail flew into the duomo in Ortigia (NB, the name “Ortigia” comes from the Ancient Greek word “ortyx,” which means quail.). At that moment, a messenger entered the church announcing that ships had arrived carrying wheat grain. All hailed it a miracle, attributing the relief to Santa Lucia having answered their prayers. Now, annually for her feast day in December and also again in May, devotees process a precious silver statue through the streets in homage to the patron saint of sight, eyes, light, and wheat. Please join us online to celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia today, Sunday, Dec. 13 at Noon Eastern. The highlight of our meeting, which will include a discussion about the feast history and traditions, will be a hands-on arancini (rice ball) cooking class and a cuccìa (traditional wheat berry pudding) demonstration led by @alesmileandfood Alessia Liistro of Smile and Food, who will be broadcasting from her kitchen in Siracusa province. Join us from your kitchen to learn about these Sicilian traditions!

Please join us online to celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia this Sunday, Dec. 13 at Noon Eastern. (Story continued from yesterday...) || Like Sant’Agata of Catania before her, the maiden Lucia refused to participate in the activities of the brothel to which she was condemned. This of course, angered the madame, and the authorities were called to further punish our protagonist. Somewhere in this mayhem, the beautiful maiden’s eyes were either gouged out by the Roman soldiers or she did it herself to make herself unattractive to the pagan to whom she was promised in marriage and/or the clients at the brothel. When the governor of Siracusa, Paschasius, sent soldiers to remove her, she was immovable! They brought in oxen to drag her away, yet the oxen were unable to move her from where she stood. The soldiers attempted to burn Lucia at the stake, but the flames failed to smolder under her feet. Finally, on that fateful day, December 13, 304 A.D., they stabbed her in the throat with a dagger. Her blood steeped into the earth, and she was buried where she met her death. Join us online to celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia this Sunday, Dec. 13 at Noon Eastern. The highlight of our meeting, which will include a discussion about the feast history and traditions, will be a hands-on arancini (rice ball) cooking class and a cuccìa (traditional wheat berry pudding) demonstration led by @alesmileandfood Alessia Liistro of Smile and Food, who will be broadcasting from her kitchen in Siracusa province.
