When you travel around Italy you will quickly notice that, in every single region, there are culinary traditions locals are not only proud of, but also genuinely consider the best, if one was to compare them with those of the rest of Italy. Recipes change from one town to another, or from one house to another, and each one is the best according to whoever may give it to you or whoever is responsible for making it for the family.  

There is one very popular food in Italy, commonly enjoyed as delicious street food but also made in many homes throughout the country. It is traditionally found in Rome, in the region of Lazio and then, heading south, also in Sicily. Supplì and arancino, or arancina, are related and we could actually call them cousins. There are fundamental differences between the two but there is no denying that they are both so incredibly scrumptious and addictive when made well.
