It was a tradition in New York City politics for candidates to stuff every kind of ethnic food in their mouths--and grin as best they could. When Bobby Kennedy ran for US Senate from NY in 1964, someone handed him a slice of pizza. He asked for a knife and fork. The papers were full of derision for him. Then some of his supporters counterattacked by noting that in Italy, they eat pizza with knife and fork. tongue

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
