    From caseum?
    Could be, but the arabic influence on some ingredients is undeniable:


    from italian wikipedia:
    Le radici della cassata risalgono alla dominazione araba in Sicilia (IX-XI secolo). Gli arabi avevano introdotto a Palermo la canna da zucchero, il limone, il cedro, l'arancia amara, il mandarino, la mandorla. Insieme alla ricotta, che si produceva in Sicilia da tempi preistorici, erano così riuniti tutti gli ingredienti base della cassata, che all'inizio non era che un involucro di pasta frolla farcito di ricotta zuccherata e poi infornato.

    Nel periodo normanno, a Palermo presso il convento della Martorana, fu creata la pasta reale o Martorana, un impasto di farina di mandorle e zucchero, che, colorato di verde con estratti di erbe, sostituì la pasta frolla come involucro. Si passò così dalla cassata al forno a quella composta a freddo.

    Gli spagnoli introdussero in Sicilia il cioccolato e il pan di Spagna. Durante il barocco si aggiungono infine i canditi.

    Inizialmente la cassata era un prodotto della grande tradizione dolciaria delle monache siciliane ed era riservata al periodo pasquale. Un documento ufficiale del primo sinodo dei vescovi siciliani a Mazara del Vallo nel 1575 afferma che la cassata è "irrinunciabile durante le festività". Un proverbio siciliano recita "Tintu è cu nun mancia a cassata a matina ri Pasqua" ("Meschino chi non mangia cassata la mattina di Pasqua"). La decorazione caratteristica della cassata siciliana con la zuccata fu introdotta nel 1873 (in occasione di una manifestazione che si tenne a Vienna) dal pasticciere palermitano cav. Salvatore Gulì, il quale aveva un laboratorio nel centralissimo corso Vittorio Emanuele a Palermo.

    Sicilian cuisine is mainly a blend of Greek (multiple time periods) + Arabic cuisine + other influences. There are a lot of interesting articles/movie clips on the topic. This set from BBC on Sicily which includes cuisine is pretty basic but interesting.

    Also for Arabic/Maghrebi influences, this is an interesting article: http://www.syriatoday.ca/salloum-arab-sci.htm

    Sicilian pizza is the same as lahmacun (Turkish pizza)

    http://cupofkahve.files.wordpress.co..._6764557_n.jpg

    It is bread with minced meat.

    There was no meat on the pic of sfincione that he posted. That was anchovies.
