Tuna fish sandwiches: C/D

GROSS

celery belongs in Bloody Marys -- nowhere else.

I like tuna in Japanese cuisine and as a tuna steak.

I also like tuna in Japanese cuisine and as a tuna steak

I will also fuck up a tuna salad sandwich

my palette is flexible and receptive to all of the glorious incarnations of tuna

curious whether tuna would beat egg salad in a sandwich poll

hmmm, kinda hate mayo...

Wait a minute, how about I mash some fish in there and eat the resultant paste? Delicious!

how will the brits fuck this up

there's only one way to find out

Classic, skip the celery, put some chopped hard boiled egg in there and you're all good

But here, I think, is evidence of a true horror

Best sandwich there is. That is, if you dont forget to put ~capers~ on.

One of my favourite lunches. Cyboes/scallions are essential. Diced red pepper and sweetcorn if I have them. Not too much Mayo.

Perfect baked potato filling also.

you can throw some curry powder in there

Truthbomb

DJP is OTM - elevates the sandwich

tuna melt

how will the brits fuck this up

Says the nation suggesting every disgusting combo under the sun and not the definitive tuna mayo + cucumber

Perfect baked potato filling also.

it has never occurred to me to put a tuna fish sandwich inside of a baked potato

I am just old enough to remember the horrors wrought by '70s cookbooks in which tuna, celery, and mayo figured prominently.

Diced red pepper and sweetcorn if I have them.

Ah, I knew we would find someone saying sweet corn soon enough.

Bread and butter

Point one, it must be butter, not too thick, but there nonetheless. And on both pieces of bread.

butter AND mayo??

This is also permissable

red onion and black pepper with this or gtfo

how could anyone suggest adding [ingredient] to my delicious fish gloop? The very idea!

i never

"Next you'll be adding bread!"

Well I mean if someone is gonna be all "you know what is wonderful in a tuna sandwich is A BUNCH OF RAT TURDS" I think we can safely draw a line there

Chicken salad > egg salad > coffee grounds and broken glass on a cabbage leaf > tuna fish

well wait a minute

which brand of coffee

DUD!

Vitello tonnato, on the other hand!

XPs
by "salad" you mean "mixed with mayonnaise", right?

ile food threads continuing to confirm that this site is populated by lunatics, aliens, and the british.

tuna is classic but the fresher the better

tuna sammies are just okay though

mark, no

reading the word, much less looking at a picture of it, makes me ill

never looking in this thread again

canned tuna fish is the most disgusting food i can think of, i can't even read this thread bc i'll get grossed out

j. forced my hand

^^^ my man

don't make me put pictures of the canned whole chicken on this thread

sardines and bonito flakes are also classic btw

i love when i put bonito flakes on top of my pasta and they move as if they were alive

memories of having to sit at the dining room table for an hour after dinner bc i refused to eat tuna fish casserole

cyboes. huh.

presto

for the record, that is not a tuna sandwich (unless maybe you are Paula Deen, and even then it's missing powdered sugar)

That's not far from the creamed tuna on toast we used to have when I was a kid. xxp

those fuckin olives staring at me, fuck that shit

the tfs can often be pitiful, can never be transcendent. that is all there really is to say on the matter

old better homes and gardens cookbooks from the 50s and 60s are a treasure trove of pictures every bit as horrifying as that one

o man tuna fish casserole

might be nostalgia tho

gotta get the cheese right i guess

I have only ever had processed mayo and quite like it. But if it didn't exist I couldn't imagine asking someone in a sandwich shop to rustle us up some raw egg yolk with mustard and olive oil, and dollop it on please.

was interesting to note a sharp decline in the sales of pasta sauces in the uk

but pasta sales are solid, presumably? i've never been a sauce buyer but that's interesting

i would imagine they've fallen too. #cleaneating collective neurosis hitting carbs

sales of premiumized ready meals, esp those marketed as healthy, are booming iirc

tuna sandwich = classic, how can there be people who don't like it
tuna melt = classic but i kinda get how some people don't like it

i used to put curry powder and peanuts in my tuna salad but then i got over myself

did this in a deserted gastropub in southwark once but i'd paid enough for the chips to act how i pleased

my oop norf gf at the time was mortified tho lol

readymeals are the worst - just a few rungs up from plane food.

beyond taste i understand their appeal to some extent but the monetary cost to the susceptible is vampiric

some of the m&s stuff is okay but i feel like it's got a lot worse over time, i guess because they cut back on salt.

i've genuinely never had one of my own volition, my mum would kool aid man thru the wall and decapitate me

returning to the matter at hand tho

i fully accept i may be alone in this but aren't tuna steaks really kind of... dull

meaty but not meat, fish but not fishy. what's the usp beyond not being something else

I would do many things for a tuna sandwich right now. Not anything, but at least several possibly questionable things.

inspired by this thread i put curry powder in my tunafish but it seems like it didn't do anything

I like powdered mustard in mine.

mayo all live in interesting times

agreed - i like a tuna or swordfish steak well enough, it's nice in a hot country with a light side or whatever, but it is like the fish version of chicken breast.

Can of tuna, salt, pepper, red chilli flakes, hint of cider vinegar, spring onions, cheddar cheese, all mixed up, put on toast and lightly grilled. That was lunch today. And it was mega.

why hasn't the Department of Health shut down this thread

drain the swamp, put everything you find in a blender, serve on toast

Once I poached a tune steak in olive oil and after letting it cool, I pulled it apart into flakes and combine with mayo, diced kalamata olives, celery, dijon mustard, red onion, diced granny smith apples, pepper, dill and boiled eggs. Spread on crackers was one of the best snacks I've ever made.

but it is like the fish version of chicken breast.

I must also concur with this. It's a rather bland fish when cooked as a steak. Probably the best use of good tuna is in sushi. I love spicy tuna rolls.

It's wtf to me that someone would go to that trouble for a snack.

poaching a tuna steak in olive oil to make sandwich mix for a cracker is the crowning triumph of this thread

"Deliver us from evil..."

this shit smells so bad. in their own little category of sandwiches that are gross even for people who aren't eating them.

undetailed but strong sense memories of hating unfamiliar colleagues across the break room for inflicting this

What I find strange is theres plenty of other seafood that pongs way more than tuna but people seem to only ever complain about tuna being smelly.

Mackerel sandwiches aren't very common (or people cracking open a can of it at their desk).

Hardboiled eggs are another example and people do eat them at their desk and of course in the lunchroom

I love em tho

Tinned tuna is fine if you eat it soon. There are more things that smell bad that people eat. Ever since i moved to LA i find there is a lot more stinky food here that wasn't smelly where i moved from. Might be because LA is warmer and people don't keep foods at the right temperature, but it has made me more cautious of where I'm getting it from -- deli meat, beef and pork for example

I don't think of tuna as being a fishysmelly fish. I've had more offensive fish lunches at work. I had leftover fish curry once. I should have been sacked.

tuna smells gross - the smell of other fish is just a more pure fishy smell - tuna has a sort of dampness to the smell.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

dud, has mayo

There are Italian-style tuna salad sandwiches that don't have mayo. Usually lemon juice, capers, olive oil, a bit of mustard.

Which nationality is responsible for the mayo-inclusive sandwich?

some of these look SO good to me, esp the pan bagnat

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Eat it, dud-ers!

And by "it" I mean a delicious tuna fish sandwich.

Sanity prevails.

every day is like survival

don't worry dud voters, we classic voters will not require you to partake of even the tiniest morsel of a tuna sandwich against your wishes, with or without mayonaisse. we are a liberal bunch by and large and peaceable, if not overly provoked.

More for you!

tunafish is good for survival
