I too am spoiled with good food. That said, there are things from my childhood that may not be very good for you or even good tasting but I still enjoy. McNuggets hold this nostalgia for me add some "sweet and sour" sauce and I might as well be 10 years old again. Bad parenting on my folks part, sure but also brilliant marketing on McDonalds part. "Mom can we pleeeeeease go to McDonalds..... pllllleeeeease"! Hear that enough times and you tend to cave.
I love many types of food, everything from fine dining to crappy dive bar burgers/sandwiches. One of my favorite sandwiches is in Ferndale MI at a place called the Inn Place (such a dive). It's white bread, thick cut bologna and yellow mustard. Culinary mastery? No. But it's brilliant in that it mirrors so many people's childhood lunch. Nostalgia is a big part of food too. Had I been lucky enough to have a childhood filled with white table clothes, foi groi and fresh meats/cheeses, I would probably thing McNuggets tasted like "crap" too. But as it is, they taste like mom deciding to spoil us. -Victory.
