Another noteworthy tidbit. Next time you go to Ferdinando's or Focacceria and ask for a vastedda, the sandwich without meat is ordered by Sicilians as "schietta" (single-not married) -or- with meat as "maritatta" (married). I think it's a sexual 'inuendo' (no pun intended).
Order it this way and watch the owner's eyes light up being in the presence of one of the cognescenti of vasteddi.
