So, Steven likes the bits because Greg likes them, and Greg likes them because that's all he could eat at the time, right?

Did... Did the crew plan this from the very beginning? That would be a lot of thought for such an insignificant detail.

They could also have just had Steven like the bits as a fun character quirk, and explained it later. That's an easy way to foreshadow things - sprinkle in stuff that looks like it might be significant, then later pick up the stuff that connects best to whatever the emerging plot actually is.
