They do the same thing in some parts of American Redneckistan.

She stole too many hearts.

Why would people not have seen Goodfellas? I mean, what do they watch?

Food preparation in Mediterranean cultures isn't quite a 100% "women's work" area as it is in some Northern European ones. Also, Clemenza is performing the age-old role of cooking for the "soldiers."

America's Test Kitchen is usually great, but I watch with bemusement whenever they tackle Mexican food or BBQ, knowing that they're trying like hell to impart flavor without a lot of spicy hot ingredients.
