Hah! I had a younger cousin, the baby of his family of six,
who existed on peanut butter and the occasional ear of fresh
corn or chocolate cake until he was married (I don't know
what has happened since.)
When asked to try something different he would look at it
briefly and say "My eyes don't like it."
I can't imagine my late uncle putting up with that, but as a
small farmer with six kids, I suspect he didn't even notice
Jim was around most of the time, much less what he ate or
didn't.
