WORLD STREET FOOD

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

The Best Street Food in Italy

Gelato and pizza are terrific, but they only scratch the surface of Italy’s exciting, rich and colorful street food scene. We picked some essential street eats you must try on your next trip. (Two words: fried cream).

PESCE FRITTO AL CONO

Gelato's not the only dish you can eat from a cone; you can also get fresh, fried seafood served in a paper cone in the streets of many Italian port towns. And this is _fresh: _the seafood comes right off the fishing boats that arrive at the port each morning, and gets tossed in a basic flour batter and then deep-fried in front of you. Depending on the catch of the day, you can get a cone full of small fish or a mixture of shrimp and squid. Drizzle a bit of lemon on top and eat it with your hands or the "spear" provided as you wander the streets.

ZEPPOLE

If you've ever set foot in an Italian bakery or been to an Italian street fair, you've probably already sunk your teeth into one (or ten) of these delicious fried morsels. Zeppole—essentially deep-fried balls of dough—are said to have originated in Naples, but you can find them on street corners across the entire country. Nowadays, zeppole can come filled with jelly, custard, pastry cream and even chocolate. But sometimes, nothing beats the original: straight out of the fryer, topped lightly with sugar, and tossed into a paper bag.

STIGGHIOLA

You'll find some form of meat on a stick on the streets of most countries, and Italy is no exception. This isn't your ordinary shish kebab, though—the beloved Sicilian stigghiola is sheep (or sometimes goat or chicken) intestine seasoned with salt, skewered, and grilled. You might squirm, but offal-based street food is pretty ubiquitous—you'll find near-identical versions of stigghiola in Beijing, Argentina, Uruguay and Turkey.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
