What the Papal Conclave ate
A new Pope has been elected but it took the collected Cardinals a couple of days. The Times (9th May) has revealed what they had to eat.
The menu was set to avoid the risk of choking or hiding secret messages in the food
Lunch: white meat or fish with vegetables
Dinner: vegetable soup, pasta and fish, fruit, jam tart & a glass of wine
Some foods were off the agenda including asparagus which is reportedly a diuretic, an issue for senior cardinals who were meant to be sitting in conclave not the toilet Ravioli was off the menu due to concerns that messages could be hidden in it as was chicken on the bone due to the possibility of choking.
