Your categories are rather broad. "Fish" are not going to be novel anywhere, but "Atlantic cod" might be. Likewise, by "fruit" do you mean apples, oranges, or some African fruit that's completely obscure in the West because nobody's figured out how to commercialise it yet?
It's a rather broad topic. The main non-disputed example for the 10,000 Year Explosion is lactose-intolerance; lactose is present in most milks, so you could with justice say that this example is an example of an entire unadapted food group. The recommended foods in things like the Mediterranean or Okinawan diets all use food groups consumed by pretty much all ethnicities. No ethnicity is 'fruit intolerant' or 'fish intolerant', that I've heard of. Milk seems to pretty much be the special-case exception that proves the rule.
The risks and benefits of alcohol consumption for different ethnic groups seems like another example.
Milk is two mutations (one in Europe and one in Kenya) and we've worked out when and where. It's a very special case.
