Holy See, vacant

Santa Sede vacante, in pescheria San Piero papabili.

At the fish market, fish called St. Peter is "papabile". It means "eatable with pleasure" and "eligible as Pope".

    Well... actually "eatable with pleasure" should be "pappabili" with double "p", from "pappare", "pappa" (something worth eating", but the pun is irreistible just the same! :)
