...clothes and culture leaves no time for a sit-down lunch, there are two traditional dishes that are worth a taste from street vendors and caf?s: a giant suppli, a rice-filled croquette with sizzled beef and peas, and a pane e panelle sandwich of lightly fried chick-pea flour with freshly squeezed lemon. Ice cream is consistently good too, and for a local treat order it up in a fresh-baked brioche. But if you really came looking for trouble, and have an afternoon to kill, hop a bus to Corleone, a 90-minute ride outside Palermo...

The naming of newcomers, a long-standing hash tradition usually accompanied by a liberal anointment of beer and flour, can border on the obscene. "You aren't supposed to like your hash name," says Martin ("Camel") Luzon, so dubbed for his long legs and loping gait. "Usually it's some sort of caricature, or comes from something that happened on a run." He cites the example of "Skidmark," an unfortunate hasher caught with his pants...
