I also agree about canned fruit cocktail—or any canned fruit, for that matter. It’s barely fruit! And while I agree with your implication that Spam is the bottom of the barrel of human food, I know that there are those who would jump down my throat if I were ever to say that.
As Redwitch pointed out, we all have different tastes. My mother cooked fantastic soups from scratch, for example, but she thought—and often served at otherwise “elegant” meals—a dessert consisting of half of a canned peach covered with multi-colored sprinkles was the cat’s meow....
My brother could “sense” liver that was one part per billion and refuse to eat it, while I grew up liking liver. When my mother began cooking salt-free because of a health condition of my father, my reaction was “I like this!” and to this day do not care for salt and never add it to my food. My brother’s reaction was to go out and buy his own box of salt and use it more than liberally. (Are we allowed to use that word on this forum?)
So, even exposed to the same things, we’re all different when it comes to food!
