It's another food-stuff that I will eat if placed in front of me
but I would rather not, like most fish and celery and chickpeas.

I like almost all foods.
Celery is a fucking abomination.

There a a few character traits that people I dislike often have
One of them is fussy eater. You know the type, they will go down a menu and say "I cant eat that, its got {whatever} in it". They will then choose the dish they have always eaten and still leave half of it on their plate.

It's pathetic and also rude.
I too find it insufferable. I also suspect that many (not all, of course) people's so-called 'food allergies' are nothing of the sort either.

Some of it must be their upbringing.
I hate to sound like a cliche, but as a child I ate what I was given.

I have difficulty understanding picky eaters
In my teens I went on a school trip to Italy where we stayed with local host families. I was staggered by the rudeness of people who refused food because it wasn't the tasteless stuff they usually had at home, the hosts were really distressed. I remember the food to this day, wonderful stewed goat with polenta and all manner of delicious stuff.

I remember being introduced to other families as 'the boy who eats everything'.

There aren't many things I won't eat, but if I'm anywhere but at my Dad's or the pub, I'll eat them
The main one being mushrooms. Well, the crappy waxy 'mushrooms' you get in massive vacuum packs from your supermarket
