Oohh... through his retainers, he seems faceless and wishy-washy at first, but the first moment he really asserts himself as a true member of the Oda clan, we see his face, and we see that he is, in fact, a proper son of Oda Nobunaga. He's very different from Nobunaga, but he's no less his father's son.

Considering his position, even if he has some clout, Ken still needs to do this in a roundabout way, huh. Make sense.

I wonder what he'll say after this though.

Obviously.

Now I'm extremely curious how Nobutada will handle it with his retainers They are extremely eager to prove that thier young lord can be great head of the clan. To the point they are willing to risk fighting a battle with exhausted army.
Being their overlord means he have to be diplomatic with them. To show their word and advice isn't less important that that of a Chef. He must redirect thier enthusiasm in right direction without making it humiliating to thier honor and status.

You are technically right, but it's not just because it's the same food. It's an elaborate symbolism based on the samurai send off and returning ceremonies. It's the same 3 food, but the order of the food being presented is different, giving it a different meaning.

The first time, the abalone comes before the chestnuts. This is the meal order for a send off ceremony, representing "strike (uchi = abalone), win (kachi = chestnuts), rejoice (yorokobu = konbu)"

But in this chapter, Ken brought the same food, but the chestnuts come first. This is how the meal is supposed to be served during the homecoming ceremony after a victorious battle. The meal now means "win, home (also read "uchi"), rejoice".

Ken probably wanted to say that they won already, so just get it over with and everyone can go home.
