Tuna fish sandwiches: C/D

Fish from a can or tin is disgusting

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

otm

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

mmm, metallic tang

I...won't go there.

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.

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

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.

It's more of a dollop than a slice.

xp. mayo on fries is great

pro mayo on fries

a bowl of tuna salad, a block of swiss cheese, and some good crackers > sandwich

de gustibus non disputandum est

^ that's what I keep saying

mayo is good w/ fries

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

didn't stop me enjoying them when i ate fish

tuna backed by a potato

"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.

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

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

why am I so fucking grumpy all the goddamn time

you're an ilxor?

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

Sounds like *somebody* needs a tuna fish sandwich...

xxxp

My parents brought back a bunch of salmon from Alaska that way, just wonderful.

Will we I ask ever get it sorted

So I thought tuna casserole made with condensed canned soup (bleeugh) was a particularly midwestern thing but there you are, some UK people also mentioning it.

Does anyone do it the way I grew up with it? The sauce is bechamel. Thick bechamel, onions, tuna and then add whatever else you want (some people do corn, some apple or pineapple PS THIS IS WRONG AND AWFUL). Top with cheese and breadcrumbs or mash then cheesy topping then bake.

I am both a UK person and an exiled Midwesterner. The UK has become more attuned to both Thanksgiving and trash American food in the past decade, which may be why horrific forms of hotdish are being discussed here.

tuna sandwiches are fine (we don't use the redundant "fish" here) these tuna + soup + urine + spam casserole whatevers are obv unconscionable

I'm gonna buy tuna this weekend and do fucking awesome tuna melts. I bet Nora will love them.

Also, didn't Suzy confirm on a previous thread where I disgusted Americans that American mayo is not comparable to British mayo?

Mayo with chips is all time.

Also goes quite nicely with chili.

this is so awesome

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

lolz

Also, didn't Suzy confirm on a previous thread where I disgusted Americans that American mayo is not comparable to British mayo?

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the mayo they made

I shouted out,
Who killed Euler?
When after all
It was you and me

For reference, mayo repulsed me until I was about 18 and I first experienced chips dipped in mayo. Or fries, for Americans. Chips dipped in fries.

I couldn't eat mayo, egg yolks, or the fat on any kind of red meat because of similar "vommed it during chemotherapy" reasons I still avoid canned tuna or any kind of squash (except for pumpkin in pie) to this day.

Tuna mayo w/ diced red onion and a decent dose of black pepper = all time classic
