That's what living with Mrs PB is like. She's a bloody nightmare. I do all the cooking in our house and it's like dealing with a 5 year old.

'I don't like that'
Have you tried it'
'No but it looks funny'

I have to hide things or pretend they are something else so she will eat it.

The only food I have refused to at least try as an adult is gooseberries. I had a gooseberry fool as a child and was sick not long after. It may or may not have been that but it put me off them, I tried a gooseberry crumble a few years later and it made me feel like I was about to throw up again. My tastes may have changed but it's pretty much a phobia now.
Ironically, given a previous post of mine, I used to be like that with fish.

I had fish in Poland when I was a boy and I was sick as a dog with the result that I couldn't/wouldn't eat anything but tinned tuna for many years.

Eventually I was able to eat "special" fish ( breaded and cooked to order) from the BBQ in Corstorphine, but battered fish still made me queasy.

Now, I love it in any guise. Maybe you'll have a gooseberry renaissance 😁

PS My wife is the same as yours when it comes to experimenting with food. Infuriating.
