I never thought of it that way but you're right in most of the world. In Italy it is still being passed down from mother to daughter. I don't think they will ever stop making their own pasta. Most everywhere else is satisfied with the dried, boxed stuff.

Have talked to US soldiers who were part of the NATO Kosovo occupation. US and French troops had good supplies of food but everybody tried to get someone from an Italian unit to cook it. They had learned from Mama’s or Grandma’s kitchen.
