(Also, did Twilight never learn Prestidigitation? Because one of the functions of that basic cantrip is to clean a person which was obviously a feature added to the spell by a spellcaster in just her situation.)
Apparently. I recall at least two episodes where she cleaned herself with non-magical means (“Feeling Pinkie Keen” where she bathed and found an alligator in the tub, and “Winter Wrapup” where she had to clean the skunks’ stench with tomato sauce.)
Plus, with the advanced magics she showed over the seasons, lots of mundane objects would be obsolete to her, including food, because she might simply conjure some for herself, or turn rocks into six-course meals.
Lots of interesting scenarios would be impossible to portray because she would just take care of her needs with just one well-aimed zap with her horn.
…though my headcanon is that her conjurations/transfigurations are not permanent, so eating transfigured rocks would be a bad idea.
(I’m trying to invent good rationalizations for many other seemingly illogical behaviors too, to excuse her not-using-magic in certain contexts.)
Make a decree that they can only eat grilled cheese they make themselves (no servants) or food from Fast Food tier restaurants for the next month. They’ll learn to enjoy common food or starve themselves to death.

Oh c’mon Twilight, since when do you care about what the bunch of stuck-up aristos would think?! You’re a princess, for Celestia’s sake, so they’d smile and compliment your food even if you serve them the content of nearest trash can - if they know what’s best for them and don’t want to wind up in prison for “offending the royalty”!

She might need some Iron Will’s lessons for that, because currently she is not bold enough for that move.
Hm, I will also need to learn to build expectations better.
Sometimes I intend just to write Slice Of Life, not comedy, but I accidentally keep making people expect a punchline, and then delivering none.
