Ever since the 8th century after Christ, this has been the week when the saints are celebrated and the dead commemorated. For saints, soups have the color of autumn and the brown hues of legumes: chickpeas and broad beans. In ancient Rome chickpeas were considered the symbol of the dead because of their white flower with its black stripe. This is the season for poultry, geese, duck and capon.
