In Italy, it is considered to be a sign of great respect to receive the esteemed family hand pasta and a symbol that one has been accepted by the tribe. It is said that, despite his open mindedness, JFK was a bit taken aback by the gesture, though that may also be because on this occasion he was absolutely zonked.

I think that's the guy who popularized Alfredo pasta. There's a great episode of Max Miller's "Tasting History" about it (YouTube).

No, that's Linguini, the guy from "Ratatouille" by Pixar.

His hands a little big, might end up a bird strike.

I know it's a real picture, but this looks like something an AI would make

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

We need an AI video of JFK eating pasta

what the hell is JFK holding

[–] gac11@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A cigar in one hand and maybe a blunt in another?

[–] june@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That’s clearly a sharpie in his other hand.
