About This Quiz

Calling all picky eaters: If you have a distaste for hummus, chicken liver, meatloaf and fruitcake, then this picky foods quiz is the perfect match for you. We've got plenty of interesting foods for you to pick from, and we're curious about how you'll react when you see some of these raw and exotic foods!

A picky eater is someone who doesn't like many types of vegetables, fruits and protein options. Generally, picky eaters stay away from foods that sound unfamiliar and unappealing to them, such as tripe, raw oysters and frog legs. While we're not here to judge you on your food choices, we do encourage you to explore as many food options as your palate can handle! For example, if you're curious about trying some raw tuna sashimi, try dining on a spicy tuna roll first before transitioning into pieces of tuna by themselves. The idea is to incorporate a food item that you don't like with other types of ingredients to "mask" the flavor and texture. From there, you can gradually transition into consuming foods that you didn't like before!

But hey, we won't be sad if you don't take our advice. Instead, why don't you show us the ropes when it comes to your palate with this picky eater quiz?
