A food blogger has revealed how he ate a feast for less than £5 in a popular holiday hotspot – but also warned tourists to be aware of key signs of being ripped off.

Fernando Massana often shares his tips on how to score the best Italian grub with his 114,000 followers on TikTok (@rockinkitchensicily ).

He recently visited Palermo, where he went to a local market to see how much – and what – he could eat for €1 (86p).

In a clip racking up 3.8m views and over 382,000 likes, he revealed the feast he chowed down for €5 (£4.30).

The 51-year-old began with a ball of fresh mozzarella, before picking up a sfincione; a type of focaccia-like pizza.

He also grabbed a homemade arancini, washed down with a freshly-squeezed lemon juice.

For dessert, Fernando opted for a stuffed-to-the-brim cannoli.

Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions.

“For €1 in Denmark you get to stand 10 meters outside a bakery and take one deep sniff,” one user commented.

Edel added: “For €1 in Dublin you can light a candle and pray for food.”

Jeaulina said: “London = £5+ per item,” followed by a crying emoji.

“The rest of Europe could never,” Michelle added.

Fernando, from Catania, Sicily, notes that the spots he went to are very specific – and finding food for this cheap is quite rare.

“It’s not a general thing to eat for €1,” the food blogger told What’s The Jam.

“It’s easy to go to a tourist trap, especially in Ballarò market and Catania.

“Go with the flow.

“If you see pictures of the food everywhere, [it’s] not good.

“If you see guys pulling you in to eat at that specific spot, be mindful.

“It’s not always bad but possibly more expensive – and also even a tourist trap.

“It may still be a great meal, simply because Italian food in England [isn’t] as good.”

Fernando suggested walking a few minutes away from the tourist locations, as that’s where the hidden gems can be found.

He added: “Don’t be shy to ask how much something is before you order.

“Menus with prices aren’t a thing at the markets.

“And also ask for local wine to save [money].

“It will come in a jug, not a glass bottle, but it will be very good.”
