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

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.

and they say the British are disgusting

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.

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

imago, Thursday, 16 February 2017 12:37 (seven years ago) link

i love those kind of dinners.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 16 February 2017 12:38 (seven years ago) link

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

boil pasta. pour olive oil from tuna into pan. fry chilli and garlic. toss tuna thru briefly. toss pasta thru. add herbs and lemon zest if u like. settle down in front of the laptop and play out being the same spoilt little brat you were thirty years ago. job done

my mum made variations of tuna pasta too often for me to ever do that dish. i can barely eat pasta anymore, we had so fucking much of it as a kid. #middleclassproblems

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 16 February 2017 13:01 (seven years ago) link

mega-classic

As a kid I used to open up the sandwich and put some Pringles on there. Great stuff.

Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Thursday, 16 February 2017 13:13 (seven years ago) link

My friend Olly from uni similarly couldn't eat pasta anymore. Whereas my parents never had anything but potatoes.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 February 2017 13:24 (seven years ago) link

Also I don't think I've ever had tuna pasta.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 February 2017 13:24 (seven years ago) link

we had potatoes loads but i dunno, i could never get sick of those. genetics. i fucking love potatoes and rice - i do like pasta fine just never cook it. was interesting to note a sharp decline in the sales of pasta sauces in the uk, feels like the end of a strange era.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 16 February 2017 14:04 (seven years ago) link

dud for me, will always choose chicken salad over it

ciderpress, Thursday, 16 February 2017 14:07 (seven years ago) link

Absolutely classic. Tuna melt on rye (the cheese has to be *melted*) even more Classic.

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 16 February 2017 14:11 (seven years ago) link

a cold tuna pasta salad is not bad ... tuna casserole, no thanks

sprouts, tomato, and avocado on the tuna melt please

Brad C., Thursday, 16 February 2017 14:14 (seven years ago) link

there is a wide spectrum of tuna sandwiches or tuna salads, from delicious to disgusting. if it's good then i'm down but i can easily see how people think it's an abomination

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link

same goes for potato salads or egg salad or any mayo-based thing

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link

tuna melt is my fav sandwich, i eat one prob once per week

people posting about fresh tuna steaks on a thread about tuna fish sandwiches is like going on a thread about eating shit and being like "I love shit, but I eat it in the form of food that hasn't yet been digested and converted into waste"

You ever had fancy Spanish or Portuguese tinned fish (mackerel, sardines, etc.)? Divine.

those are good

I haven't tried canned tuna again for years because I'd start retching every time I tried as a kid. Something about that somewhat metallic tang (of the fish, not from being canned) combined with the texture is bleh

mh 😏, Thursday, 16 February 2017 17:31 (seven years ago) link

mmm, metallic tang

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.

RIP tuna that got drowned in Satan's effluvium

I love tinned anchovies - they are the only tinned fish I will eat, but the Spanish tins of clams, mussels, octopus or squid are amazing.

Another form of tuna I will eat: bonito flakes. Love them wriggling away on top of okonomiyaki.

jane burkini (suzy), Thursday, 16 February 2017 18:00 (seven years ago) link

Is okonomiyaki readily available in the UK? I'd never heard of it until last month, during a stay in Tokyo. It's delicious and I brought back some bags of okonomiyaki mix. Apparently there's a resto here (Paris) that sells it but, like, just one, I think.

sounds like youre tunist suzy sorry to say

Well, I live about five minutes' walk from an okonomiyaki restaurant, one of maybe five in London. This is it: http://www.abeno.co.uk

jane burkini (suzy), Thursday, 16 February 2017 18:14 (seven years ago) link

ah nice. I see that there are a couple more places now here, e.g. http://www.okomusu.com, just around the corner from the place with the best fries in town, Chez Nenesse (but only on Thursdays for lunch when the fries are made with duck fat).

relevance to thread: sometimes Europeans do awful things like put mayo on fries, thus making them cousins of the foul tuna fish sandwiches.

droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 16 February 2017 18:27 (seven years ago) link

It's more of a dollop than a slice.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 16 February 2017 18:35 (seven years ago) link

xp. mayo on fries is great

mayo on fries is delicious and so are tuna sandwiches and so is tuna mayo in a backed potato and it is also ok with corn though will admit that I was grossed out by it as first
