You could try anyway, but yeah, I got the same feeling. Most of the time I try to be as honest as possible, anyway.
[ Or bury his secrets in so many truths that no one suspects he's hiding anything, but same thing. It still means he tries to be as honest as he can.
Shiro hovering over his shoulder doesn't bother him - he'd gotten used to it, too, living at the Avengers compound. He just adjusts a little to let Shiro into his space. ]
You got me. I saw a spinach and feta cheese one once, but I didn't have any plans to try it.
[ Sam gives him a sloppy salute - or at least, his attempt at a sloppy salute, which is still pretty damn sharp. Hard to take the military out of him, after all.

He still lets out a groan at that wide eyed blink, eyes gleaming and smile teasing even as he points his spoon accusingly at Shiro. ]
Yeah, in a salad or on a flatbread or something, not a pretzel. Come on, man, don't do this to me. We got a great thing going here, don't hop on the gourmet pretzel train.
[And before that, anything. He doesn't even know what it was he'd had to feed himself. If it had been anything to remember. Maybe there's a reason for his lack of memory.]
