Phoenician-Punic Sicily to the west.

Sicilian Cuisine
The cuisine of Sicily is uniquely different from any other Italian region,
strongly influenced by it's many conquerors. Its cooking is an adventure in
history: the island has been home to Greeks, Romans, Normans, Bourbons, and
Arabs over the centuries, and its cooking speaks of this complicated history of
invasions and occupations, as well as the fresh flavours of the land and the
bounty of the sea.
Sicilian cooking is characterized by its fanciful juxtaposition of sweet and
sour flavours, its abundant use of fragrant herbs, its succulent seafood, its
rich desserts, and its luscious citrus fruit. Sicilian cuisine has very ancient
roots, dating back to the period of the Norman occupation; these roots still
influence contemporary cooking. Today's cuisine is an amazing mosaic reflecting
every foreign invasion that took place over the years, especially by the Arabs.
Each city, and each neighbourhood, has its own distinctive cuisine, based on
what the territory has traditionally had to offer; eggplant from Palermo, tuna
from the Egadi Islands, capers from Pantelleria and oranges from throughout the
region.
