AIBU about making my almost4 and 51/2y old try every food offered?

Well, after ys went from good eater to nada eater I sort of let them have a go...but then it all got a bit restrictive, and well, I now do not make them eat a food, as such, as in clear the plate no matter what, but they have to have a go at every food, disliked or not every time in order to get a bedtime snack and even pudding, depending how well they ate all in all...
anyways, my ys, wh is very sensitive, really does throw big padies if " made" to eat foods he doesn't want to try....however so far, if we persist, and give the right incensive and also maybe haf that bean he is meant to eat, we will get him to try it...and obviously sometimes he is almost voiting whatever out othertimes he realises that, "oh that was actually nice"....but are we setting ourselfs up for longterm problems...?
BUt really I would like to just cook that one meal and they all "blinking" eat it....
does that actually make sesne?
