There is a very specific reason why it’s my comfort food. I have a bone disorder, and when I was young, I was in the hospital a lot recovering from broken bones. This was late 70s, early 80s, and hospital food then was atrocious. But I liked spaghettios, as a lot of kids do, and my mom would occasionally bring some to me, heated, in a Thermos, and that would just make that day a lot better. So I just strongly associate that food, even now at age 55, with comfort and love. So I keep some cans in the house all the time. And when I have a particularly bad or hard day, I will eat a can. And I still enjoy them. I can understand your experience, though. I had the same experience years ago when I decided to buy a small can of Vienna Sausages. Ugh, those things were sooooo disgusting! I have no idea how I ate those as a kid. They’re packed in this jelly, they taste disgusting, they have a disgusting texture, they’re just horrible.
