Yeah, I was trying to think of such a word. Usually, the person just says "I'm not picky."
There's a word "gourmand," but that's someone who is a glutton, and not appropriate for your puposes.

Can I say:
'I'm not exactly open to any kind of cuisine'?

If I want to indicate that a person has a wide range of tastes in food, I just say they are a "good eater".
