As Melania Trump approached and shook hands with Pope Francis on Wednesday, Pope asked in Spanish through his interpreter pointing toward Trump: “What do you give him to eat? Potica?”
She looked puzzled at first. “Potica, ah yes,” the Slovenian-born first lady smiled before stepping aside.
Potica (pronounced paw-tee’-tzah) is a typical highly nutritious Slovenian festive strudel with nut, poppy seed, cottage cheese, hazelnut, chocolate, tarragon, leek or honey fillings.
It also sounds a lot like “pizza,” which is what reporters originally thought the pope had said.
