I must have had a blessed childhood because whenever I encounter people who eat virtually nothing except the squarest heartland food--people who seem afraid of anything else--I am just amazed & flummoxed. In my household, we ate (& still eat) an incredible variety of ethnic & homegrown foodstuffs, including those from Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Morocco, France, Germany, Italy, Britain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, India, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean, Hawaii & Polynesia, not to mention all over the U.S.
Why so fussy about so much food? have you tried anything novel or different? why so afraid to do so? You might actually like a little here, a little there. Next time you saunter past a Greek bistro, step in & order a shish-kebob of lemon-marinaded chicken or lamb, or when you drive past a Vietnamese cafe, pull in & try a Vietnamese roll of chicken & cilantro wrapped in rice paper.
You won't die. Just keep repeating to yourself, "I won't die. I won't die."
