Exposing them to lots allows them to actually find out what they like.

Oh for sure. In our case, we've always just had the kids eat what we were eating, which allows them to try new things and develop their own tastes... That's the surprising thing - kids will generally try and like a lot of the generally un-kid-friendly foods, if given a chance and left to figure it out without any outside influence.
We know this one family that feeds their kids hot dogs and KD probably 4-5 times a week, because "that's what they like"... We had them over this summer and suggested we order Thai or Indian food... "but what about the kids?"... "what do you mean? Ours are good either way"... I was literally furious when the dad peeled out of the driveway to go buy KD for his kids.
