Jesus a Locavore?

It's subtle but if you look really hard at the 16 billion pixels that represent a recent restoration of Da Vinci's "The Last Supper," (1498) a plate of grilled eels and an orange slice (the parsley garnish of the 1494). According to MHC Art Professor John Varriano, this dish is a Renaissance painter's version of what Jesus and his disciples may have dined on at the last supper. It is more likely, he says in article last week in the Hampshire Gazette, that Jesus would have stayed away from eels since he was Jewish. Professor Varriano must have very good vision. The food is rather hard to make out in the image. What might be a plate of grilled eels could also be eclairs.
