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.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
