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

[–] gac11 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] june 2 points 11 months ago

That’s clearly a sharpie in his other hand.
