This weekend in Petralia Sottana in the Madonie Mountains, the townspeople are celebrating the Festa dei Sapori Madoniti, a harvest festival celebrating the abundance of autumn from their mountain-driven agriculture. When talking about the Madonie Mountains, that means outstanding sausage. My cousin Salvo makes a regular pilgrimage from Bagheria (on the coast) to Caccamo or Castelbuono to purchase sausage from the Madonie which he loves to cook on his outdoor grill, pictured.
Aah, one of my dreams – BBQing with the sausage in Sicily!!
