Sicilian ice in Cinque Terre

When I was on vacation in Italy, I got a Sicilian ice in Cinque Terre. Which is weird if you know Italy, since Siciliy is an island in the south, and Cinque Terre is on the coast, toward the north, south of Milan. |But the restaurant we found when exploring the towns of Cinque Terre was owned by two brothers, Sicilians, who are famous for their desserts, and yes, made vegan Sicilians ice. They called is "slushie"--it is made of fresh fruit and nothing else. I had it with an espresso and a lettuce and tomato sandwich, thus proving that you can find vegan food everywhere if you try hard enough. Though you will probably have to explain what vegan is to a very nice Sicilian who wants you to try his desserts.
