I get the feeling that Spock learned this early, having had to sit through one too many rants from Bones about how the Captain doesn’t eat his fucking vegetables. So, to spare his poor ears and the doctor’s heart, all of a sudden Spock stops eating whenever Jim sits down next to him with a steak. He tosses his food out (Bones is onto him from the get-go and makes a point to bring him snacks in thanks for his efforts) and excuses himself because he’s very busy and slips away into his labs or whatever. Jim’s a smart guy, so this happens three or four times tops before he realizes it’s the meat. Suddenly he’s thinking he’s being insensitive to his vegetarian alien friend’s culture and customs, and God, he’s such a bad person, so the next time he catches sight of Spock in the mess, he goes and orders himself a salad and plops himself down across from Spock and tries to act cool about it, but Spock knows, and so does Bones, who’s doing his best to play Vulcan and keep a straight face when he catches Spock’s eye. Jim never catches on, or if he does he never says anything, because Goddammit, that was clever.
(Also, sidenote: Jim at some point forced Spock to watch Back to the Future, and that knowledge is what Spock was banking on when he implied universe-ending paradoxes)
