Sam starts small. Little things that that don't have too much conflicting flavour. When that doesn't work he starts taking the newly renewed angel out, exploring hamburger bars and breakfast bars alike. Every meal they'll have something different, they'll change the place a lot and just the one thing because if Cas doesn't like it Sam's got to finish it off. He doesn't quite know what Cas can taste, but the angel's attitude towards giving up pb&j just makes him frustrated. Frustrated and determined. There had to be something out there that isn't ruined by grace.
It's on these trips to diners, take out joints and restaurants that it starts happening. They'll share a meal or a drink so Cas doesn't have to eat it all. Their legs or arms end up resting against each other. It's nice, just spending time. They give up on the food fairly quickly, but the dates become a happy routine.
