Being in the south I know about pigs feet and pickled pigs feet and I see them in the store but I wonder how many folks really eat them. I'm not a very adventurous eater but I certainly wouldn't consider myself picky. I think it is wonderful that all the cultures are mixing together and that mainstream stores are carrying their favorite foods. But no way am I going to eat tongue or pigs feet.
While in Vietnam picking up our adopted daughters I was a guest in an official's home. She served fish eyeball soup which made me shudder to even look at. I managed to sip on the broth a bit and I'm sure she could tell I was only trying to be polite. Really does anybody in America eat fish eyeball soup? Waste not want not.
I am an incredibly picky eater, I can't help it, most food looks, smells, and tastes gross to my senses.
I don't like being this way, it's a real hassle but can't be fixed.
It can be fixed. Find an occupational therapist who specializes in Wilbarger-method sensory integration work. You'll be eating more normally in a few weeks.
Having worked in a supermarket as a teen I saw a lot of pickled pigs feet go through the checkout. I see chitterlings in the stores to and wonder how many are sold. Every so often I see a hog maw in a shopping cart here. I think they are stuffed and bake. I don't even want any of the stuffing.

Being from Lithuanian background, I had an aunt who used to make jellied pigs feet. I've also been helping out some new owners of a Chinese restaurant and at least once a week, pigs feet is the staff dinner. I've tried both preparations and they're not offensive taste-wise, but I don't get the appeal of the texture at all. (The Chinese place served up pig stomach last week. I didn't ask what it was until after I finished eating it. Was tasty with a texture a bit like woody mushrooms. But just didn't want to know while I was chewing.)
I can pass on a tongue sandwich from a Jewish deli - just too much kinda/sorta bland meat - but a tongue taco is good eatin'.
I've been in some interesting places, but have never encountered eyeballs. Not sure what I'd do if I do run across them.
