Oh, I don't think it's snide. So the recent experiences are this:

Did they used to taste different to you? Just wondering if the change in
taste we experience as we get older are the cause. For you, some things
taste better, I'm guessing, and for me, they taste worse. I haven't had
canned veggies in years. They might still be an option for emergencies,
but I'm leaning more toward giving them to a food bank. If it's just me,
others who need them might like them.
