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.
