"Because it's got a dressing, I think?" It won't explain the fruit 'salad' any but Steve's trying to be helpful even if his answer is a huge stab in the dark. The more important thing is that it's tasty in this scenario.
There used to be a time when Steve hated eating in front of others. Hated how his metabolism needed him to eat enough food for a whole family in a sitting so far as standards for how he was raised were concerned. So far food hasn't been short exactly, even if there haven't been a whole lot of options compared to usual. Steve knows a lot of Depression Era simple dishes he can make to stretch things out more, too. But here, among the remnants of the Avengers, Steve isn't afraid to load up his plate.
They know how he needs to eat. He'd get more shit if he didn't take his fill.
Steve still isn't going to linger over the food though. The sooner he eats it the less opportunity there will be for people to stare or to watch him eat. Once he's taken his seat again by his beer he's going to dig into the potato salad with a pleased murmur.
"Any good seafood recipes come out of Asvera yet? Fishing village like that, I have to imagine folks are starting to experiment a bit."
