There are some things I just don't get. But one thing I am choosing to focus on tonight is: PICKY EATERS.
Yeah, you know who you are.
See, my theory is that picky eaters wereallowed to use their pickiness as some kind of way to get attention, or to be willful in that anal retentive sort of way. I had cousins who refused to eat tomatoes simply because their father didn't like them, and they knew that pissed off their mother. I also wonder if maybe some people just weren't raised on a large variety of foods. I had an ex-boyfriend who ate mostly deli foods, and "Italian" dishes like baked ziti and chicken parmesan were about as exotic as his tastes ran. It drove me nuts. I'm not saying there isn't a thing in the world that I wouldn't eat. I'm not a fan of eggnog, for example. Yes, that's a drink, but some people treat it like food. I don't like crappy food, but I still manage to eat it every now and then. Is it the textue? The smell? I guess there are a lot of very native dishes that would make me sick. I shudder at some of the things I see on authentic Chinese menus. It's not like I lose sleep over this or nuthin'. I was just sayin' is all....

-ya got the cultural aspects you mention(like no Fu Shiang pork kidneys with duck blood for me).
