6yo DS fussy eater - what can I do?

Hi all

After a little advise re fussy eater!.

When DS was younger he would eat anything and everything. From about 2.5yo he stopped eating everything and we have struggled ever since with what to give at mealtimes.

So now he will eat:
Toast
Cheese sandwiches
Crisps
Biscuits
Spaghetti hoops
Plain pasta
Chips (with loads of ketchup)
Mash potatoes (with loads of mint sauce mashed in)
Carrots (with Mint sauce)
Broccoli (with mint sauce)
Cauliflower (with mint sauce)
Roast parsnips (with mint sauce)
Chocolate & treats

We have tried asking DS to try other foods with no luck.. He sits and has a paddy, kicks, screams, calls names etc. Even with the foods not in sight, just from being asked!

Does anyone have any advise on how we could possibly get him to try something different?
