Short answer: Nipples = good, nipples that excrete food = great.
Long answer: In the context of the Human-Covenant war, I doubt that the vast majority of field-deployed food nipples are that enjoyable. Considering that Grunts are at the very bottom of the Covenant caste system, and that Grunts also have the highest population of any of the Covenant races, it is very likely that the Covie powers-that-be would chose quantity over quantity when it comes to food nipple production.
Most likely, the 'food' coming out of said nipples is nothing more than a gelatinous sludge containing essential vitamins and hydrating electrolytes. The sort of nutrition every battle-weary Grunt needs. A gourmet meal, it is not.
Not to downplay the prospect of feasting on a nipple every evening...
