Your input was incredibly low effort and prompted a very low effort output.
I took part of your blog post (which you clear were willing to put a few more tokens into) -
"My mother remembers growing up with a sicilian dish that was primarily rice baked in an egg mixture. Roughly a "rice frittata". What are some distinctly Sicilian dishes that this could be referring to?"
Notice there is not much extra context that you've offered any of us, either the LLM or us. You didn't even tell us what the recipe was...
How was the dish served, what did it look like?
What are you expecting of the LLM here? It not a psychic AGI.
I would expect most any answer to be loopy and partially wrong (or really I'm not surprised when they are) based on the short question, its just something you build intuition around as you use them.
edit - btw I just noticed
"Sartù di Riso: A baked rice dish that can include ingredients like meat, peas, and cheese, often bound together with eggs. It’s more commonly associated with Naples but has variations in Sicily."
Was one of the 4 dishes in the question I submitted.

That sounds pretty unpleasant as a rule to follow.
How should I ask instead?
Can I make an LLM do the question-expansion for me?
