Wealth and a cultural aversion to the trappings of poverty. Rich people don't need to eat offal. My dad hates the taste of liver because he associates it with the cheap liver and onions he choked down as a kid. Same with tongue.

That's definitely a lot/most of it, particularly with offal, but plenty of countries have gone from poor to rich and kept eating blood sausages and sweet breads and it doesn't explain like why lamb or goat is a specialty meat. Rabbit exists in a weird liminal not quite game not quite specialty.
