Depends on the type of gravy you want to make.
I use flour, mix it in with the drippings (enough to make a rue...not too thick, not too thin...)...
once rue is stirred well, add milk (2% or higher..skim will not work well)...and stir CONSTANTLY til it begins to thicken....(the amount of milk depends on the amount of drippings and rue...this is really something you need someone to show you how to do)...remember that gravy will continue to thicken upon standing..so transfer it to another dish OFF the stove, JUST as it barely begins to thicken....
I'm Southern, and this is Southern Style White Gravy (some folks call it "Sawmill Gravy")....

Slice smoked sausage into 1/8-inch slices. Brown well in 9 or 10-inch skillet. Remove sausage from skillet. Add flour and brown until dark brown. (It may be necessary to add some water or broth, depending on how much grease the sausage produced.) There should not be any grease floating in the mixture when browning is done. Salt and pepper to taste. Add smoked sausage and a little milk. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes.

That's not SO picky. Nobody really likes everything. I will try just about anything, but that doesn't mean I actually like it, either. A lot of it is in your mind - you think you are, so you are. And you say you eat when you are bored, which means you have an emotional attachment to food. Do something else when you are bored - something useful, and try to get into food being nutrition. There's also a gourmet aspect, to be sure, but eating as a way of filling some vacant emotional spot is how people become obese. One way, anyway. Easier said than done, I know. Go out with your friends, instead. Your list: Eggs (poached, scrambled, fried, hard-boiled or soft-boiled) My wife doesn't like eggs, either, but I scramble them with cheese and other things, and she loves them. Make it something other than just eggs. Onions I hate raw onions, too. Can't stand them. Cook them into something else, or just cook them well, and they become something else entirely. They are best used as a seasoning. Some people eat onion sandwiches, but not me. Weetabix and other healthier cereals. I don't know Weetabix, but some of those cereals are good for nobody but horses. Some of the others are OK with lots of milk. Vegetables like spinach, sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower and other greens Cauliflower is great with cheese or hollandaise sauce, kind of boring alone. Jacket Potatoes I guess you mean baked, or something like it. Not my favorite, either. Open it up, take out the guts and put stuff on it. I like butter and cheddar cheese. Garlic - It's a seasoning, not a food. Much better cooked, IMO. If you can taste it, you've used too much. Sit next to me in a theater with garlic fries and I'll ask you to leave. Lasagne There's more kinds of lasagnas than there are stars in the sky. You don't like the ones you've tried, but believe me there are others. Salad like lettuce, cucumber, raw carrots and onions, and mayo/salad cream, green beans etc I'm not big on lettuce, spinach, etc. But I like a good salad with tomatoes, crunchies, peas, cucumbers and a nice dressing. Again, the plain stuff isn't so hot, it's when you take it and turn it into something that it starts to shine. Garden Peas Get young, green peas and simmer them for just a bit in some butter, add some pepper, don't overcook. Yum! Fruits like watermelon, melon, pineapple, blackberries/blueberries, pomegranates, mango Put them in a blender, any combination, top with ice and make a smoothie. If you don't like that, you'll never eat fruit in your life.
