A while back I saw a response to that tweet, it went something like
How many of us would throw up if we had to pluck and gut a chicken? The dorito isn't that impressive.

I wouldn't throw up, I just wouldn't do it.

But if you gave them Takis...

Hot Cheetos and Takis AND the accompanying music video… that’s how you blow some minds

A medieval peasant would lose their mind eating a Dorito. Snacks nowadays are literally engineered to hijack our brains.
They're also incredibly bad for you. They're like drinking oil with a little bit of crushed flour and salt mixed in.
Which is also what makes them super delicious. Fat, crunch, Umami, salt. Most snacks also have sugar added even if they're not "sweet".
don't forget the sugar!
They'd honestly probably hate it. Ultra processed foods are disgusting if you're not used to them, there's a gross kinda chemically undertone to the flavor that sticks to your tongue. Normally it's covered up by making your taste buds overload, but new tastes stand out. It helps develop aversions if we get food poisoning from trying new foods
They'd also be going from never tasting spices before to total overload. A lot of them would react like people do to tear gas
Now, if they powered through and kept eating they'd probably get addicted, but it would be an acquired taste
It’s called Bliss Point! I just listened to a Stuff You Should Know podcast episode about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_point_(food)
If the peasant is from medieval Japan, they may at least understand the umami component
