Food for Thought

We all eat to live (and then some), celebrities included.  The difference is that our daily bread does not appear as breaking news, whereas the pope’s sometimes does.

When waiters in the Peruvian city of Chiclayo were recently asked what then-Bishop Robert Prevost used to order, their tongues went a wagging.  One recalled that, back around 2015, the menu read as follows: Breakfast consisted of “fried chicken or pork belly… washed down with orange juice and coffee.”  Lunch “was sometimes stewed goat; dinner was chicken broth.”

Prices weren’t divulged, yet one server couldn’t help but add: “He didn’t tip you, that’s for sure, but he gave you his blessing.”
