Maybe her parents were bad cooks? I feel bad for him, having to deal
with her limited variety of foods.

If my children did not like something, I would tell them they were too
young and this was "adult food"; when they grow up, they would like it.
My older son will eat anything, the younger will eat almost anything,
but he does not like meat with bones in it. Maybe that was my fault
because I deboned their food. When the younger one was 12, I was
cutting up his waffle, then I stopped myself. Hey, he is 12, he can cut
up his own waffle. lol Oh yeah, he does not like mushrooms, either.
