I think people's cuisine choices are based on early family cuisine. Beef (cow), fowl (chicken, turkey), fish (seafood) and pork (pig) are US food staples. Lamb, calves (veal), rabbit, lobster/crab seem to be acceptable dinner fodder. Adventurous paths to alternate cuisine may depend on their facial features, a cuteness or revulsion factor. Thus, turtle, snake, deer, alligator, buffalo, sheep, goat, monkey, bear, insect and other "delicacies" may or may not be acceptable depending on open-mindedness, culture, food availability and hunger level. Maybe that's why people prefer not looking at their meal (e.g. chicken, fish) face-to-face?
