Amiccera food market

I was charged €28 for 1 salami and 1 n'duja, the total weight of both did not exceed 600g.

I made the mistake of not asking the price before committing to buy, trusting that this proprietor, like all the other merchants I'd met so far, would charge a fair price. I believe he did not.

He told me the salami cost 39/kg. He made no mention of the price of the n'duja but I later found the same brand of n'duja, and of the same size, selling for €6.90 elsewhere. After I went back and weighed both products, I realise I had paid about €45/kg for both.

This could be construed as another confused and ignorant foreigner crying foul over a poor purchase, but I think everyone enters a foreign country with some degree of ignorance and relies on the kindness and integrity of locals to not be taken advantage of.

If you know your Sicilian produce inside and out and speak enough Italian to enter into a price discussion with a shopkeeper, by all means, buy from this store. But if you, like me, do not, perhaps this is not the shop for you.
