What foods does your picky eater eat best?

Most families have at least one picky eater to complicate meal times for everyone! And, while it's awesome to find those winning recipes that picky eaters will eat along with the rest of the family, most of us also keep a few easy options on hand for lunches, hearty snacks, or to provide an alternative to whatever they're refusing to eat.

What a picky eater will eat varies by picky eater, but some staples tend to work well for lots of families. So, let's create a comprehensive list of foods for picky eaters together!
