I haven't eaten canned spaghetti in about 40 years. I did eat it
occasionally in my early twenties though when I just wanted a quick
filler and didn't worry about taste. I do remember though that it's
better eaten cold right out of the can. If you heat it up, it gets too
soupy (watery).
Canned ravioli, I'll buy on sale sometimes when hurricane season is
approaching. Just for backup food that needs no refrigeration or even
heat to eat.
I've never noticed any "pungent after-taste" though. You either like the
canned stuff or you don't.
IMO, canned meals are good for emergency situations (like no power). I
rarely buy any canned *meals* these days except for that.
