"The Window", (from the Latin: Windovicus, literally meaning "Bloodcake") has its historical roots in ancient Sicily, where it was used as a show of displeasure or imminent murder by local mafia Dons. Biscuits made out of glass were traditionally served at banquets to individuals who had angered these early Godfathers. For the simple medieval gangsters of the time, the copious bleeding from the mouth and internal organs was believed to be a sign of bad luck.
