At 4 years, there is absolutely no way the child should be acting this way. I get the picky eating, but throwing an all it tantrum and flailing about, screaming for 15 minutes over it? No f-ing way (pardon my French)!!! I assume she does this often? To be honest, I'd terminate. You've given it a much more solid shot than I would have.
If you're interested in keeping her, I'd ignore the screaming behavior entirely, she does it once at mealtime, she's done, in the other room until the rest of the kids are finished. Turn her chair around so she can't see the other kids watching her, she'll feed on the attention. I'd offer her a reward for trying new food. Starting with one bite and several goldfish (or whatever), after a few days if success, one bite for one goldfish, then finish a serving and get one or two. This is a difficult process, that involves a lot of attention. Just to prepare you.
