"You need not go to such trouble for my sake," Thrawn said. "Though, if you do, your effort will be appreciated. It has been a long time since I've had food that reminded me of home."

It reminded him of the family dinners he would have with Thrass, just the two of them, reminiscing about their parents and life before their adoption, talking about their days, or victories Thrawn had with the CEDF. He paused for a moment as he recalled his brother, but quickly brushed it aside and helped himself to more food.
