Pani ca meusa

Pani ca meusa (Sicilian: U pani ca meusa) is a Sicilian example of street food. Litterally its name means bread with spleen, the italians call it panino con la milza. It is a dish typical exclusively from Palermo and it consists of a soft bread (locally called vastedda or vastella) flavoured with sesame stuffed with chopped veal's lung and spleen that had been boiled and after fried in the lard. On request it could be added also caciocavallo or ricotta, in this case the pani ca meusa is said (sicilian) maritatu (married), if served without is said (sicilian)schettu (single). It is sold mainly by peddlers (specifically indicated locally as meusari) in Palermo's main markets as the Vucciria and the BallarĂ².
