My younger self would be very disappointed at the things I find exciting now.
I recently found an Indian grocery store that stocks those Heinz beans in the teal can that are popular on toast in the UK! …turns out they’re not very good. But I found them!!
Aw fuck. This is my cue to confront my own bias: my palate is Americanized as fuck. Hell, my own mother probably had a corn syrup subsidy to add it to her tit juice before feeding it to me as a baby.
So, take my culinary assessment with a grain of salt sugar.
Haha. Nah, you’re good 😊 . Brits like beans because they’re cheap, easy and available. They’re ok, hardly a culinary experience worth seeking out though :)
My partner is British and we are in the US, so we end up hunting for stuff like this all the time. Luckily a market up the road happens to be owned by a Brit, so we can at least get tea biscuits there.
Younger me might be disappointed in a lot of things, but my fascination with new and interesting foods would not be a disappointment at all! If I told me “We’re really into brie and canning salsa” we’d be delighted!
Naw that’s just part of getting old.

“not very good”. I’m actually getting really rather angry about this. In fact I think this might be a hate crime.

Although they are one of your five a day!
