Pigs Feet

I personaly have more respect for people who are willing to try new foods without fear or hesitation. Like my friend Sarah, who willingly trys the filippino dishes (that she has never seen) and later finds that she enjoys them.
I dislike picky eaters, but not as much as I dislike people who, when they see something new, or something not to their taste, start jeering at the food.
"Ewww! whats that?" or "UGH! it looks like dog puke!", yeah, I know thats rude, but it isnt as bad as the people who TRY to be polite. "Oh, thats, erm, interesting" then give you and it that "look", (raised eyebrows, the lips in a straight line, and that aura of hostility.)
They don't even try the food to see if its to their liking or not, they make up their mind right then and there, that they don't like it and refuse to even look at it.

Being raised in a filipino family is most probably what saved me from being a picky american eater. And being filippino, we were BORN to eat.
When I was little I was urged to try each and every dish at a party. I understand like there are some dishes that people do NOT want to try, but they can at lease do without the nasty comments and superficial politeness.
If you don't think you will like it, then don't eat it. Just try not to make fun, or give that "look" while you pass the dish. Okay, so this might sound like Im scolding some of my friends, (you know who you are...) but Im not. I respect your tastes, and you can make fun of my food if you want, cause I don't care...it's my food and I think it's delicious. (Even if you do think it looks like dog puke.) And Im not saying that all americans are picky, there ARE adventurous american eaters, and there are VERY picky filipino eaters. So without further ado, I guess I shall announce what I tried during dinner... YOU GUESSED IT! pigs feet! yeah, it looks "interesting" but it isnt all that bad, I think what freaks out most people is that its what the pigs walk on, their feet. Anyways, like I said, it isnt that bad... it actually is a bunch of fat. And if you have ever eaten barbecued pork, and ate the fat, that is exactly what pigs feet tastes like, just normal fat.
So I didnt really like the pigs feet, (Im not a big fan of fat), but at lease I can say that I tried it, and I do not like it.
