I don't think that we had Spaghettios often when I was a kid. When we were
allowed to get them, my mom insisted that we get the ones with meatballs for
the protein and the meatballs were bad.

In my mind, the things were good. Angela only ever had them once at a
neighbor's house and they were served cold. I think she was 2 at the time
so didn't remember it.

Then when she needed a gluten free diet, I found some little cans of pasta
from Australia that were gluten free. I had tasted some and thought that it
tasted like spaghettios. So I kept a few cans here just in case because
neither my husband nor my parents could ever figure out what was safe for
her to eat.

But she kept refusing to eat them saying that they were just horrible. I
guess because she wasn't brought up eating processed foods like that, she
never developed a taste for sickly sweet things like that.

So finally, rather than let them go to waste, I opened a can to eat, myself.
And oh my was it ever bad. I just couldn't do it. I can cook up pasta and
toss it with some canned tomato sauce with little more than oregano, pepper
and parsley in it. I do like that. I did not like this. Oddly sweet mush,
