Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions Quotes

“Sweet, salt, bitter, piquant - Sicilian cuisine is all-embracing and pleasurably involves all the senses in a single dish. A gelato must also be like this. Sweet as a whispered promise, the pistachio ice cream salty as sea air, the chocolate ice cream faintly bitter and a little tart like a lover's goodbye the next morning.”
― Mario Giordano, Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions

“The Mafia, Donna Poldina, is just an invention of the fascists in the north.”
― Mario Giordano, Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions
