"I hate all types of seafood! I hate fish! Sushi is an abomination!"
"??? I've seen you eat and enjoy the fish you catch when fishing... and I've seen you eat shell fish..."
"Clams are different. Pike and walleye aren't seafood because they aren't from the sea!"
Or...
"Liver and kidneys? That's not food! Adding it to food is like peeing in it! No one in a modern world eats that stuff."
"Seems like an exaggeration? I know some local farmers and their families who'd disagree with you. I know people from Europe who'd disagree with you."
"Anything on the inside of an animal isn't supposed to be eaten! Only stuff on the outside."
"That doesn't make sense. Otherwise, you'd be eating hairs and leather?"
"#### you DoubleF! Your culture might eat that stuff, but not mine!"

Ooooo offals is another good one and again, I think it comes down to - and I say this knowing the risk of getting completely piled on - the lack of any sort of food culture that is North American-based. As with anchovies, offals are eaten by virtually all other cultures in the world (Asia, Poland, Italy, France, South America, Mexico, etc.) but generally disliked by North Americans and Europeans except for the few I mentioned.
