To use {cunso} is to change the context of the conversation. "I could eat 
anything." has no context asking for {cunso}, as it is a question of 
nonspecific preference. Like, {mi citka zo'e} or {mi citka roda} or {mi 
citka su'o da} or any of the other possible options already mentioned. 
Alternatively, if you really want a predicate, I would go with:

.i do ba citka ma
.i go'i lo cuxna co nalvai be mi

What will you eat?
I will eat a choice that is unimportant to me.

Alternatively:

.i do ba citka ma
.i lo te citka cu nalvai mi

What will you eat?
What I will eat isn't important to me.

mu'o mi'e djos
