Do non-American cultures have classic “picky” foods?

r/

E.g., in America (and presumably Canada) “picky” eaters stereotypically eat fries, chicken nuggets, and other bar food.

Is there picky/childish food in other cultures, as well?

    I had ARFID. I mainly ate bread, potatoes, fruit, and soup. No meat.

    I remember seeing a behind-the-scenes reel for Inside Out, and they were talking about how they had to change the ‘disgusting vegetable’ in different markets because in the U.S the stereotypical ‘gross veggie that kids won’t eat’ is broccoli, but in another country it might be peppers.

    I knew an Indian woman whose children were “picky” and the only thing they would eat was rice with mild homemade chicken curry with all the chicken and vegetables strained out. Sucks since its a lot more work than dino nuggies, that’s for sure.
