So what happens between the transition from childhood to adulthood that makes Chef Boyardee, Spaghettio, etc type canned pastas go from tasting delicious to tasting like vomit?

And why despite them tasting like vomit in adulthood, are they still somehow pleasurable to eat once in a while at 3 AM without heating straight out of the can?

I get the Heinz ones and sometimes I'm really in the mood for that pasty salty sauce and clay-like meatballs. Delicious with some chili flakes.

Chef Boy-Artie has kind of a funky flavor to me

>>21452150 (OP)
I hated them in the 90s. Tastes like retard in a can.

fuckin weirdo

>>21452150 (OP)
None of that is real.

>>21452150 (OP)
With spaghettios you are probably being stupid and buying original and not the meatball variety. The original flavor has cheese sauce and it's always been gross, most people just don't realize their parents got them the meatball version or ever think to read the can and realize the original flavor is fucking stupid and meatballs is an entirely different sauce. Everyone just assumes it's the same but with meatballs added, but it's completely different because it isn't the nasty ass cheese tomato sauce and is just a psuedo marinara.

You try food other than your mother's terrible cooking

Nothing is real anon. This is all a dream. You have to wake up!

You were more susceptible to their, admittedly perfect, marketing. Even as a kid they were disgusting.

They were never delicious to me, likely because my parents raised me on a varied diet since infancy. I never understood the meme in old cartoons about kids not liking vegetables until I met Americans so my guess is exactly what I said: a varied diet leads you to understand that certain things are awful and always have been.

>>21452150 (OP)
Civilian food gives me the munchies.

>>21452516
Sounds like you were a gay bullied kid

>>21452522
Wrong on all counts.

>>21452150 (OP)
Nothing, Chef Boyardee actually got shittier over time. It's not cause you grew up. It literally tastes worse and worse

>>21452150 (OP)
Still tastes fine to me, ill be eating this in my doomsday bunker in my 70s im sure

>>21452150 (OP)
You must be drunk at 3 a.m.

>>21452522
Don't be bitter and jealous.

This.
Try this brand of spaghetti-o's, they're twice the price at like $3, but they're a lot closer to what canned pasta used to be like 30 years ago. Pasta is firm, sauce is flavorful and not too sweet.

The one big difference I've noticed is the grade of beef in canned pasta products has gotten considerably worse. I remember distinctly the little chewy bits of beef in beef-a-roni being actual ground beef, now they're hard little bits of chipped beef like you'd have in army-style shit on a shingle. Also the filling of the ravioli is now some unidentifiable paste, whereas before the entire filling could be removed in one piece like a mini patty. Same goes for the meatballs, they're just dogfood mush now, they used to be bouncy and chewy like little bits of Italian sausage.

Is that some stereotype I'm unaware of?

Your tastes become dulled as you age so what was once delicious, flavorful pasta sauce is now bland, faintly metallic tasting slop.

>>21452525
You were never a kid?

Chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs and regular spaghetti and meatballs are 2 distinctly different flavors

>>21456794
It was a ravioli reference.

>ungodly amount of salt

90s marketing

>>21452150 (OP)

Shut the fuck up cunt no one wants your opinions

Alas yet another lost soul hath shouted in vain. As you can see by my hefty view count I am rather adored here, and I shant be going anywhere my cooking challenged friend. Mayhap a cold brew to cure what ails ye?

>>21452150 (OP)
Never had that because my family wasn't poor.

>>21458433
They absolutely were. My family owns over a hundred chain restaurants between various states, what does your family do?

Boyardee Ravioli is crazy good when you're broke.

>>21452150 (OP)
What's wrong? I thought Americans love vomit tasting food?

>>21460635
Hershey tastes better than euro chocolate, this meme is a psyop by salty euros that dont have access to milk and sugar

>>21459685
Veal Parmigiano and stuffed scallops is also very good when you are broke.

>change in ingredients
>your mom probably cooked them better than you're cooking them
>you're dumb cattle who got peer pressured into thinking everything you like as a kid is something you have to hate once you cross arbitrary age thresholds

Your tastebuds refine and overly sugary foods start to taste bad.
>And why despite them tasting like vomit in adulthood, are they still somehow pleasurable to eat once in a while at 3 AM without heating straight out of the can?
Nostalgia mixed with laziness. At 3 am you want a comfort food. Something familiar and something you don't need to really cook.

Iv never in my entire life had chef boyardee ravioli
Or spaghetti Os
Im 31

>>21462843
I'm 38, I still eat them

>>21452150 (OP)
1. your brain as well as your actual physical tastebuds develop over time, when you are younger you have a stronger instinctual draw to sweet over anything else

2. it was always shit

3. The recipe has also definitely changed over the years, making it even more shit than it was then. You aren't eating the same product.
