Fussy eaters have an unwillingness to eat new or familiar foods, usually coupled with strong preferences for a few specific foods. Those preferences may be for foods of a certain taste or texture — for example, a fussy eater may prefer crunchy or easy-to-chew foods, while others may develop strong dislikes for certain tastes, textures, smells, or even the look of food.
