Many cultures deem it highly inappropriate to offer or accept anything with your left hand. The New Testament of the Bible continually indicates the importance of the right hand and frowns upon the left hand (having sinners, in the sheep and goats parable, sitting on the Left Hand of God). And many religious rites in many different Abrahamic religions require the right hand to be used.
