A character, usually a child, dislikes a certain type of food, most frequently a vegetable. In Western culture, it's usually peas, carrots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or essentially any vegetable you care to name. In Japanese works, it's carrots or, more commonly, green bell peppers. Oftentimes; it's the vegetables that the creator disliked in their own youth. And if it's not a vegetable, it's usually some type of seafood. This is often used to label this character as "immature," and sometimes the character gets over their distaste (a mark of growing up) as part of their Character Development. More often, though, it's simply a character quirk to make him or her not seem so flat. It's not uncommon in older media for a fussy child's parent to protest that there are starving people in a less-privileged part of the world. In technical terms, this response to the eater's pickiness is the Appeal to Worse Problems, and in some works might get amusingly countered in some way for being a logical fallacy. This is less common today, when food scarcity is less a problem, and offending other cultures is more a problem. Truth in Television, as many a troper will tell you of memories of being told not to leave the table "until you've cleaned your plate." Never mind the esteemed Alton Brown suggests (in his pea episode) that the real reason kids don't eat their veggies is that the parents overcook them into inedible mush. Or, maybe they could just try to find some veggies they do like. It also doesn't help that kids have keener tastebuds than adults — so if something tastes slightly bitter or sour to a grown-up, it'll taste much worse to them. Some assume that adults' trying stuff they wouldn't touch as kids is a sign of growing up but actually, their taste buds' sensitivity has toned down so that something they hated as a kid is now tolerable. (There is also the question of preparation.) Furthermore, scientists have discovered that people are born with a genetic aversion to specific foods, specifically green vegetables. Our evolution has left us knowing that bitter-tasting things in nature can often be poisonous to the body. Your instincts are telling you to avoid eating your Brussels sprouts because you know it's not good for you to eat. Especially if you're a child: small body size makes even tiny doses of toxins dangerous, hence little kids' greater selectivity. The genetic aversion is likely due to the fact that many edible, nourishing, healthy, and safe vegetables often do contain small amounts of toxins. Spinach leaves, for example, have about twice as much Oxalic Acid (which is even more toxic than Ethylene Glycol, a major cause of kidney stones, and which can kill someone by way of acute kidney failure) as Rhubarb leaves (which are poisonous). Sometimes it seems that adults are less picky eaters than kids merely because adults have more control over what they eat. A lot of people carry some of their culinary dislikes into adulthood, but they never have any fights with others merely because adults can't be told they aren't allowed to leave the table until they eat their carrots. If an adult doesn't like carrots, green peppers, or broccoli? They just don't buy it, prepare it or order it, and pick out the stuff they don't like if it comes with it. If a kid does it? Then they're a picky eater. A birthday card even makes fun of this, showing a woman scraping broccoli into the trash saying nobody can make you eat your broccoli. Picky Eaters also have a root in primal instincts — typically, adventurous eaters were a subtype of Too Dumb to Live, since they didn't know what would poison them in some way. Picky eaters were also safe eaters since they would stick to stuff they knew would not kill them. Certain vampires may fall under this trope as well, based on the idea that some people's blood tastes better and/or is better for you than others. Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a type of eating disorder in which the sufferer has an extremely selective palate and avoids the overwhelming majority of foods to the point of causing health problems, specifically not due to body image as with anorexia. This avoidance may be based on appearance, smell, taste, texture, brand, presentation, or a past negative experience with the food in question. Many of those who suffer from the disorder stay away from anything spicy, tangy, or acidic, and tend to favor generally blander foods laden with carbohydrates. The common criteria for when simple "picky eating" crosses the line into ARFID is when the restrictive diet extends past childhood, or when the sufferer would not eat outside of their "safe" foods even if there was nothing else available and/or they were starving. See also Does Not Like Spam, I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham, Kids Hate Vegetables, Stock "Yuck!" (things almost any kid can be expected to hate to eat), and overlaps with If It Tastes Bad, It Must Be Good for You, a common reaction/joke about this. Compare City People Eat Sushi, which has the pickiness showing class, and Picky People Eater, a far more horrifying related trope, the execution of which is also less about immaturity and more about delicacies or nutritional requirements. If they try to miss an entire meal due to their pickiness, it often leads to a Missed Meal Aesop. For a biologically-enforced version, see Fantastic Diet Requirement. Compare Ridiculously High Relationship Standards. Examples |

Onion seems to refuse to eat at all, preferring to waste any food he's given by either throwing it away or spitting it out. Unlike Pearl, Onion is human (though Steven isn't so sure sometimes), so one has to wonder how he can get by while eating next to nothing. The only food item he's been seeing actually consuming and liking is a repulsive guacamole-flavored soda that everyone else in town hated. | |

| Picky Eater / int_55d33017 | comment |
Luke fon Fabre is very much this not liking all kinds of sketchy meat, carrots, mushrooms, milk, rappig meat, and all kinds of fish. This in retrospect makes sense; aside from his noble and spoiled upbringing, Luke is actually seven. Trying to get a kid of that age to eat things they get into their head to dislike is a chore and a half. | |

Big Eater | |
| Picky Eater / int_5fcedca | comment |
As it turns out, for all of his Big Eater-tendencies, Homer Simpson's also a fairly picky eater—he loves pork chops, donuts and all sorts of junk food, but usually avoids fruits and vegetables whenever he can. In one episode, Marge and the kids started a food blog after finding some excitement trying out more exotic foreign foods—Homer struggled to see them having fun doing something he doesn't like. | |

In another strip, Charlie Brown mixes a raw egg into his dog food to make his fur shiny. (Which does actually work for dogs in Real Life.) Snoopy looks very reluctant to eat it. | |

Halfway Plot Switch | |
| Picky Eater / int_ace24b2c | comment |
Homer burned his tongue and when his taste buds grew back, he'd become super-sensitive to flavor. He had to resort to really bland school lunches which led to another plot... And just a few minutes in the next plot, he ate a jar of mayonnaise (Popeye fashion) without any problems besides his stomach. | |

Caustic Critic | |
| Picky Eater / int_ae4b1ce1 | comment |
Zesty Gourmand from "Spice Up Your Life!" is a stern, snooty critic with very particular tastes for not only food (bland, tiny portions) but decor and presentation. She ultimately refuses to even try the food at the Tasty Treat, despite seeing how popular it is even without her approval, and instead leaves in a huff. | |

I Ate WHAT?! | |
| Picky Eater / int_b1191cb2 | comment |
In Ramona Quimby, Age 8, both Ramona and Beezus refuse to eat cow's tongue, even though they liked it before they knew what it was. Ramona also lampshades this trope early on, when she thinks to herself that healthy food is "usually food she did not like". | |

Sense Loss Sadness | |
| Picky Eater / int_b4d1f1e1 | comment |
Lysithea mentions disliking vegetables a number of times and complains that she wishes she could just eat nothing but sweets. She has the most disliked dishes out of any character and the second-fewest liked dishes behind Dimitri, who lost his sense of taste following the death of his father. | |

Soul Eating | |
| Picky Eater / int_b98a8902 | comment |
Wortox is an imp whose natural diet consists of souls. He finds most mortal foods repulsive and only gains half of the usual hunger, health and sanity from eating them. | |

Sweet Tooth | |
| Picky Eater / int_bac9f95d | comment |
It doesn't get pointed out much, but Felix is quite picky about what he eats — he doesn't like sweets of any kind (much to Lysithea's horror) and dislikes three out of the four vegetable-based dishes and is merely neutral on the fourth one (which also has a heavy cheese and fish component). It seems meat is the only food he actually likes. | |

Zigzagged regarding Kirin in Gourmet Girl Graffiti. She appears to be quite a carnivore and resents her mother's stir-fried produce, but she will eat whatever her Supreme Chef cousin Ryou cooks. | |

Spoiled Brat | |
| Picky Eater / int_cfc52d52 | comment |
German cartoonist Uli Stein drew a cartoon with an owl having caught a mouse. The kid complains: "But I want a burger with fries!" The mouse thinks: "That's the first time I like Spoiled Brats." | |

Stock "Yuck!" | |
| Picky Eater / int_e3bd3475 | comment |
Usagi, a.k.a. Sailor Moon has her least favorite food listed as carrots, despite her name being a homophone for "rabbit" (though carrots are also a Stock "Yuck!" for Japanese children, so this also shows how childish she is). | |

Food Slap | |
| Picky Eater / int_f23c26ab | comment |
Fudge himself proves a very picky eater in book 1, to the point where, for a while, he refuses anything he's served, even if he'd specifically asked for it. A bowl of cereal and milk dumped on his head by his frustrated father finally cures him of this habit. | |
