The biggest conclave of all time starts on Wednesday at 4.30 p.m. While the reception of the mobile phone is even blocked in the Sistine Chapel, so that nothing penetrates outside, the 133 cardinals who vote already have culinary rumors. The Vatican kitchen master has prescribed a strict diet. The “Kroon” knows the bare menu.
The conclave is the fault for the strict diet in 1271, in which Gregor X was only as a pope after 1000 days. The longer it takes, the less there is to eat for the cardinals. The smart thought behind it: hunger makes you impatient and irritated: this can accelerate coordination because everyone grows up for everyone.
At that time there was only one meal a day after three days, a little later only bread, water and wine. Nowadays the Vatican is less strict, but there are also difficult dietary rules.
