Yes, I marvel at it too, appreciate it for what it's worth, and wish
more people had the manners to accept the fact that we all have
different tastes rather than scream, "YUCK!!". Really, a lot of what
we know to be our comfort foods are foods that were fed to us as
children...we had no control over the ingredients nor cooking methods,
but somehow felt the love put into it by our (insert loving caregiver
here) mother, grandmother, nana, pa-pa, etc. My mom used 1950s and
1960s Betty Crocker and Pillsbury recipe books for many of her meals,
and while they are not at all sophisticated, and use "disgusting"
ingredients like canned cream-of-whatever soups, I still think about
them with a sense of comfort and happiness.
