Sicilian Rice
Sicilian Rice is a specialty food of Saga City. About 30 restaurants in Saga City serve this dish. It consists of sweet seasoned meat (mostly beef) and vegetables like onion, lettuce, and cucumber on hot rice, topped with mayonnaise.
The origin of the name “Sicilian” is unclear. One popular theory is that the combination of green lettuce, red tomato, and white boiled egg resembles the colors of the Italian flag. Additionally, it is believed that the dish was first served around the time of the hit movie “The Godfather,” which is set in Sicily.
