Honestly I think it's just cultural. Parents inadvertently pass it on, or the kids get it from their peers.

My daughter ate olives, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, cabbage, whatever really, from age 2 to 3.

Now she's older and there's a bit of "asserting my independence" thing but she still loves Brussels sprouts.

Yes, pickiness is definitely passed on. The only children I know who insist on ridiculous "meals" of mac-n-cheese and chicken nuggets have at least one parent who also has no taste.

I am not a naturally picky eater. It has really helped in my world travels.

The one thing I cannot deal with is Beets. Which is the only food my father hated.

Have you tried Borscht with beef? It transforms beets into an entirely different thing. My favorite item from Ukrainian/Russian cusine.

Yum. Or even with fermented beets! Borscht is delicious
