Tuna fish sandwiches: C/D

I probably wouldn't frequent a falafel place that offered that as an option

The world's most generic food site probably has some entertainment along these lines

xxxp

theres a japanese dish called ワフパスタ (wafu pasta/chinese pasta) and you fry tuna with some soy sauce and put it on top of noodles with green onions and bonito/mackerel flakes

yum

I prefer pink salmon in sandwiches but tuna, mayo, fine diced onion and a load of dill is xcelent. Sweetcorn in there's good too, if a baguette shop happens to add it in.

Tuna fish sandwiches are delicious. They don't need much else, but crunchy iceberg lettuce is a nice addition. I am also partial to tuna melts.

My only qualms with tuna melts is that hot tuna and mayo can be a bit icky

dud

I'm ambivalent about tuna, but I feel the need to point out that Laura Nyro was the ultimate tuna fish sandwich connoisseur:

"Laura didn't really cook," explains Geffen. "Tuna Fish--you opened a can and put mayonnaise in it." Tuna fish had also been Gilda Nigro's specialty, so perhaps her daughter had a genetic predispotion. When it came time to name Nyro's publishing company, Bomser sauys it was he who suggested the name Tuna Fish Music. "She loved the idea," he says. "I mean, that's the only thing she knew how to make."

"I wouldn't call it anything else," Nyro said of her company's name. As for the tuna itself, she insisted it be Bumble Bee brand, white meat, with Hellman's mayonnaise, a teaspoon of cream cheese, some diced red onion, and a pinch of lemon pepper. From there, she said, you could branch out.

At the moment, I am working at a Subway inside of a Walmart.

I had a customer come in one day and everything started out smoothly. This lady had been coming in for quite some time, so I kind of recognized her. She’s your typical Walmart customer. Overweight, looking like trailer trash and riding (as we call them in our store) a fat cart. She orders a footlong tuna sandwich and wants us to put all the veggies on it. So, like I said, everything was going smooth until after the veggies were placed on the sandwich. That’s when she said to me, “This may be a strange request.” At this point, I’m thinking that I’ve heard many a people say that, and it’s never really that strange. So, I ask her what she wants and she proceeded to ask me to put 4 white macadamia nut cookies on her tuna sandwich. I think I gave her a really disgusted look, but I’m not sure. I obliged and placed the cookies on her sandwich, but she wasn’t done yet. She then asked me to cover the cookies with vinegar until they were soggy and ready to fall apart. Then to top it off, she made me double up on the mayo over the soggy cookies. At this point, I felt like I wanted to puke all over her sandwich. I think I may have a little into the back of my throat.

This lady is now a regular customer and she gets this same thing every single day.

that's some futuristic food lab genius for sure

Are we sure she hasn't written a book yet

My only qualms with tuna melts is that hot tuna and mayo can be a bit icky

Probably best to use a fairly dry tuna salad for a good melt.

is this the porn -classic or dud thread

i'm not reading this entire thread but for the record i have a visceral negative reaction to canned tuna that traces back to my early years as a very selective eater who found most foods vile. these days i'll eat pretty much anything and am totally down for some tasty canned sardines or a nice seared tuna steak but there's no way in hell i'm ever cracking open a can of tuna.

tuna salad is great as long as someone besides me is making it.

That Walmart lady story sounds like one of those customers suck blog tales, I am a sucker for reading those things.

That Walmart story is glorious. VINEGAR

Earlier today, around lunch time, I was reading this thread, got up, went to the kitchen, and fixed myself a delicious bowl of chili.

Green olives are a great addition to the tfs, and likewise capers I would think, as someone mentioned above.

i freakin' love avocado on just abt any sando, but esp tuna fishie. i keep the tuna salad part simple: mayo, dijon, lemon juice, black pepper, fine diced celery if it's on hand

I like a tuna sandwich, but warm/cooked can tuna is opening up the gates of hell. Fresh tuna like a grilled tuna steak is a totally different food. Canned Salmon is just as funky and different canned, but it is better cooked into some redneck salmon patties than right out of a can.

Lemon juice key to a nonsmelly tuna sam btw

classic

hey guys check it out I put some cat food on some bread

I notice there is no ABOMINATION choice in this poll. Fish from a can or tin is disgusting, and I have refused it ever since little me was undergoing chemotherapy, some genius decided a tuna hotdish was what's for dinner, and waves of nausea led to a proj vom of epic proportions. I loathe canned tuna more than any other foodstuff (it's not tuna per se, because it's awesome in sushi and great seared, and I found lox-style smoked tuna once and loved it).

The Britishes are lovely people mostly, but I will loudly judge the lot of you for the puke-alike abomination that is tuna and sweetcorn, especially when it appears barf-like atop some poor, defenceless baked potato.

feel like those who hate tuna salad would beg for it when faced with eating ham salad

NOPE. You can put mustard on ham salad, there's no fucking CORN in it, bring it on.

voted disgusting

In general, dud. Usually because there's too much tuna.

I daresay there are lots of wonderful tunasandw recipes up there, so its not 100% dud i.e. abomination, just that there is usually something else offered as a choice.

Did

Yep, my spelling corrector does not recognise the word "Dud"...

for once, Phil and I agree completely on something.

Tuna sandwich is A+++ yum, but fuck off if you're coming anywhere near me with sweetcorn. Literally the worst vegetable in the world. Like chewing on old, dead people's teeth.

"i hate canned tuna" is a near meaningless statement given the vast diff between a dense dry shreddy firm puck of pink skipjack and supple large flaked white albacore in olive oil

I can eat canned sardines and oysters, but canned tuna is just too reminiscent of feeding cheap canned to the cats growing up. Total psychological block, I'm sure it tastes fine and yada yada yada but I can't get past that and on to tuna salad.

Right, let me gross-out the Americans again.

Every Wednesday growing up my mum worked in the evening so she'd prepare a tuna fish pie during the day that I'd put in the oven to heat so it was ready when my dad got home.

Tuna fish pie consisted of canned tuna mixed with canned condensed mushroom soup, topped with mash potato, and a sprinkling of cheese on top.

I've not had this in years but I reckon it would be perfect comfort food.

sounds legit. no sweetcorn. not sure about mushroom soup though. not sure what condensed soup would work better. chicken? or is that really really weird?

I know there is a wide range in the quality of canned tuna, but that's equally true of cat food. KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME.

A mix of canned tuna, Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, and canned green beans whacked into a casserole dish, topped with fried onions and baked until it is hot as napalm - this might as well be the state dish of Minnesota. Reader, I moved.

if you're still making a comparison like that then no, you don't know

Great, a tuna stan. I like it raw or rare, but cooking it through and/or canning it ruins it for me.

jarred, how about jarred

jarred tuna in waitrose waiting for u right now. yummerz

never seen tuna in a jar.

There are few things nicer than a tuna steak done on the bbq with roast veg and lemon dressing

thread delivers, I offer my sincere congratulations

Fish from a can or tin is disgusting

i couldn't live without fish from a can or a tin. it is amazing.

rtc otm tho, just buy the jarred brindisa tuna on ocado, it's expensive but it's worth every penny. big jar of it and some bread, maybe an anchovy or two, decent olive oil and a glass of wine. easiest and best dinner.

a big mason jar of mixed seafood terrines, gouged out with sourdough, was one recent memorable lazy dinner which had tt cowering in the next room

i love those kind of dinners.

ya

I also like those little oily tins of sardines, especially if they're slightly spiced

tuna sandwiches are good. excellent cricket match tea option and I'll generally go for a mix of white and wholemeal breads, cucumber preferred. my only real dislike is as dog latin says for the presence of sweetcorn
