Recently, I became aware of a new movement: “pescetarianismâ€
Splitters.
However, after further research, I read that pesce is italian for fish, from the base latin piscis. Another quick search in Wikipedia for just ‘pesce’ finds our dear leader (try it here). Phew. In fact, if you google for pesce, you find our dear leader hogging most of the first page of results.
Pescetarianism is merely a descriptor of people who eat fish, but not dead mammals. Strange people.
As the stripy shirted one comes from Sicilian stock, it is highly probable that his ancestors were fishermen. The Romans took their praenomen ‘Piscis’ and decided to use this for fish and fishing.
All hail his Pesce-ness!
