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

mega-classic

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

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

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.

dud for me, will always choose chicken salad over it

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

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

sprouts, tomato, and avocado on the tuna melt please

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"

Fish from a can or tin is disgusting

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

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 16 February 2017 18:41 (seven years ago) link

mayo is good w/ fries

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 21:36 (seven years ago) link

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

BACKED POTATO

tuna mayo sandwich literally the only food that has ever given me indigestion

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

maybe that case of botulism in a Lloyd Grossman branded jar of processed gloop didn't help. I peel and de-seed a shitload of tomatoes every week to make my own sauce/soup batches these days, so obviously I'm dead sophisticated.

But there is nowt wrong with this particular model of sarnie imo. It is sort of classic - but I see the BLT as a classic as well and even the chattering classes love a BLT maybe?. I had a tuna crunch baguette from Greggs the other day. It lacked a lot of crunch and could have done with some mustard, but it was still basically quite a tasty + enjoyable sandwich.

I'll have a shot of tuna, potato back.

this thread is mostly people conceding to each other that they like a given good or great food, eg iberian tinned fish, tuna, mayo on fries, etc.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 17 February 2017 00:51 (seven years ago) link

what is with the fucking irish and the need to do one-line summaries of threads like that's helpful

El Tomboto, Friday, 17 February 2017 01:20 (seven years ago) link

maybe somebody should come back to this topic in five or six years and ask if we got it sorted

El Tomboto, Friday, 17 February 2017 01:21 (seven years ago) link

why am I so fucking grumpy all the goddamn time

haven't had one since the 80s and still voted classic

we can our own tuna (in little mason jars w/a pressure canner, straight off the boat) and it is goddamn delicious

classic
