It is, because chickens don't tend to live if you put them in the Arctic Circle. He's had other foods others here probably hadn't, but he's been informed by SHIELD a lot of people apparently find eating reindeer disquieting, so he'll keep that to himself for now.
"I started with pushing things. Lifting came later, in the mine I worked at. It was mostly exhaustion, I guess; it was easier to pick everything up and put it in the cart than move it by hand after a while. So, uh. Pushing being easier than lifting isn't that odd, I think." Ilya is polite enough not to talk with his mouth full, but he eats like he's starving. He's not sure why, but ever since SHIELD found him he's been unable to turn away from food. Their working theory is his body was storing up energy for his healing factor to use.
His mind stalls at the word 'fruit'. Sure, he's had some via SHIELD, in the form of juice since his body was less likely to reject that, but otherwise all he'd had experience with were berries. "There's fruit here?"
