[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a tough one.  It's not just neighbors but also at work pot-lucks.

I am not keen on eating stuff from people I don't know, period.  Probably because I've picked out cat or dog hair from stuff and then wondered what the hell else is in the food I can't see.  I've also seen plenty of nose-picking being done by small children.  Adults can also be guilty of this.

When people bring in stuff they proudly brag their kids have helped make I avoid those items.  Particularly if there is any element of it that is uncooked. I've seen cupcake frosting and cookie frosting where lots of little fingerprints are obvious.  I've even seen commercials with kids helping bake cookies or make marshmallow treats and the kids are licking their fingers as they help.

Fully aware that even worse goes on behind the scenes in restaurants but for some reason that doesn't bother me as much as seeing cat hair or little fingerprints on homemade items.
