The mutual and compatible enjoyment of similar things at that stage seems like a pretty good proxy for how the rest of the relationship will develop (or not).
Personally, food incompatibility was a factor (among others) in the last long term relationship I was in before I met my wife, so I definitely think it's a 'thing'...

Incompatibility would absolutely be a significant factor for me. I’m imagining if my wife was a really picky eater how much it would bother me. Wanna go out for a date night? They better have chicken fingers on the menu at the steakhouse. Have a hankering for some sushi? Cross your fingers there’s Mac and cheese at the restaurant.
This would severely limit food options to cook at home as well. Someone can be a picky eater and that’s fine but constantly catering to a very narrow scope of food (or cooking 2 separate meals) would be a drag.
