I don't think I've ever not been called a picky eater, but my 17/87 on this quiz says I'm not really one.
(What I have learned to be over the years is a polite eater, admitting that if my particular culinary aesthetic doesn't include something[1] that those around me enjoy, that's my kink and my problem and not a moral absolute or something to take out on those other folk. Except in fun.)

[1] Most likely raw tomatoes, bananas, and avocado products, but also including (thanks for reminding me, quiz) cottage cheese).

But that's because Brussel Sprouts, cinnamon, fish sticks, jello are not on the list. Also not on the list are how various things are prepared (i.e. Zucchini Boats, Eggplant Parmigiana, ratatouille, etc) or any breakdown of the various squash types.
4/87 and only because I have no clue what Taramasalata is or even if it's a real thing. If you put a dish of it in front of me I would probably try it.
Still can't get a snail into my mouth, though.
Wondering how +Jill Frier will score….
+Stan Pedzick The preparation issue is a fuzzy one here, certainly.
+David C. Frier Taramas al Ata is a small fishing port in the Red Sea. The residents make a tasty dip from smoked cod roes.
12/87 I definitely won't eat no matter how it's cooked. It doesn't seem high but I hate pickles, raw tomatoes, and mustard and that stuff is on everything.
+Melissa Walsh I will eat a few slices of pickle within a burger. I am definitely not a "hey, thanks for this wedge of pickle for me to nosh on" kind of guy.
Raw tomatoes literally cause me to gag.
I got 1/87 because I've never had Marmite and figured I'd err on the side of assuming I'm not a fan (if it's anything like Vegemite, I know I'm not), but truth is I'll pretty much eat whatever.
I don't like the taste of Brussel Sprouts, but they aren't on the list, and neither are collard greens (unnecessarily bitter; I'd rather just substitute spinach or something) so…
+Dave Hill pickles curse everything they touch. If pickles are on a burger, picking them off doesn't entirely remove their flavor. They are the devil's food, and even deep frying them doesn't save their souls.
+Chris Blackmore Okay that sounds yum 🙂
7 of 87 and that’s only because I chose a couple of things I don’t like but will eat.
5 of 87. I don't like coffee, which makes me weird. I also don't like beer, which wasn't on the list.
Other than that…strong theme foods that I don't like, plus eggplant. 🙂
"You don't eat 70 out of 87 things on this list!
You are the pickiest of ALL the picky eaters. So much so that people are often giving you shit about it. But that’s because they just don’t understand. What they call picky, you just call having high standards! Eat what you want, and don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it."
4/87 and really if those 4 were prepared by an amazing chef I probably would eat them.
It's hard for me to think of things I won't try once.
+Scott Randel Whoa! Remind me not to invite you to dinner anytime soon.
There were only two things I wouldn't eat. Actually I've eaten them, but I'll avoid them if I can.
Only thing on my NO list was Marmite. That said, there are several that would be NO is you put the word bad in front of them. Bad brown sauce is inedible.
Last thing I remember spitting out was rattlesnake. Not because it was rattlesnake, because that can be good, but because it was over-cooked to the point of jerky and still had all the bones in it.
