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.
