If my son had been a picky eater he may well have starved as I've no patience for that - fortunately he would eat anything! Loved Escargo, steamer clams, lobster (grrrr) just anything.
Along the road, though, I have encountered picky eaters - fortunately I was not solely responsible for their feeding so they did not starve.
Mashed potatoes are usually a hit. Fried Chicken (cut up so that the pieces are NOT recognizable) sloppy Joes, and my niece would eat most things with "sauce" on them and the sauce could be catsup but there had to be some kind of sauce. The Top Ramen sort of noodles generally go over well as does most pasta if gently sauced. I think picky eaters have easily stimulated taste buds so mild is best.
You might have more success with exotic shapes...such as cutting the crusts off the bread and rolling it out like dough then spreading it with peanut butter + jelly or cream cheese and jellied cranberries, roll it up like a jelly roll and cut them into bite size chunks. Smashed bananas also make a good filling or butter and cinnamon/sugar. Ok not terribly nutritional but also not terribly bad!
Good luck and let us know how you fare!
