PARTIES

Only the word excites me, the roll of the drums, the meetings, the sense of community and tradition endless. A party in Sicily is this and much more, it contains centuries of history that are repeated in time, they tell of devotion, of graces and ex-votos, of rituals and gestures with precise well-meaning meanings The holidays are many and not only religious, usually they are repeated every year, some with very specific cadences, there are those who celebrate the wheat, there are those who prepare a table of St. Joseph, Someone creates arches of bread and who sneaks between meetings in procession. Each party is different and at the same time repeats itself in a cyclical way, in order to purify the party and those who participate in it. Food first during and after, he is the main protagonist of the party in question, I can't say "undisputed" because in every province, in every city, but sometimes even among the same families, there are variants that sow real discussions on what is the true origin of the dish or dessert in question, when the truth is that with this excuse, because there isn't a village or a city in Sicily where you can't refrain from trying the VERO dessert, standing up as a judge, for the happiness of the palate. For this tour you need to arrive at the party "prepared", just like when you go to one real party of someone very important and welcoming who invited you
