“Un Ratzinger ben cotto, per favore!” - “A well-done Ratzinger, please!” At the Ago e Lillo restaurant, located in Piazza Risorgimento, very close to the Vatican walls, ordering food can lead to some unusual requests.
As for the “Bergoglio chicken burger,” it contains — as its name suggests — chicken, cheese, tomato, and lettuce.
ShutterstockBenedict XVI and John Paul IIThe “Ratzinger bacon cheeseburger,” for its part, has nothing Bavarian about it.
With a hamburger patty, bacon, cheese, tomato, and lettuce, it seems that the chef hasn’t really studied Benedict XVI's culinary tastes.
In any case, like the counter statuettes depicting Jesus among soccer stars, this tourist menu is more Roman kitsch than a true reflection of the popes' eating habits.
