Question about Russian customs/traditions

[Dustin Hosseini]

Dear all,

Could anyone tell me if the following is a Russian custom:

When you are a host/guest in a Russian's home, it is considered polite
- when the guest refuses food or drink at least once/twice while being offered 
- when the host offers food/drink to the guest at least 3 times, after
refusals, before giving up 

Thank you.

Dustin
