I consider myself fairly finicky. I’m not big on cooked vegetables (they get kinda mushy), and prefer fruit juice to actual fruit. I’m fine with raw vegetables, any starches, fruit juice and vegetable juice. I don’t care for bananas, apples, tomoatoes or corn. I like most cheese and dairy.
I’ll eat pretty much any meat - beef, chicken, pork, bacon, bison, turkey, fish, ham, venison, veal, crawfish, lobster, frog, snake, alligator, ostrich, emu, quail, pheasant, hot dogs, bologna, SPAM ... hell, I’d eat exotic animals if I could find somewhere that serves them (anybody know where I can get a Bengal Burger?). Slap it on the grill, medium rare ... or batter it and fry it.
Except ... I don’t care for bi-valves (clams, mussels, oysters) and squid or octopus ... slimy is not a good quality in a meat.
I like salads fine ... usually well dressed, and not on a burger or a sandwich (I see no reason to dilute the flavor of the meat and cheese with lettuce). I like mustard, and dispise mayonnaise.
And - I’d give my right arm for a plate of chicken wings right now.

Have you tried steamed vegetables? They stay crisp but they’re more flavorful than raw.
