i first feel i have to apologize--for not being too creative with some of my a-z blogs---truth be told, i am kinda struggling to finish this challenge----but the food thing interests me right now, so i hope you will forgive another food post--especially since it wasn't even on my radar to do a food blog---
tuna----i have always loved it and i tell you, i haven't met anyone that loves it more than robyn---whenever we split a sub, i know what kind i will be getting---tuna---tuna---tuna
it is good and in moderation, pretty good for ya---although i am not so sure about all the mayo and pickle--
the way i really enjoy it on a sandwich--is with of course the mayo---onion, celery and lemon----i rarely have that on hand so, it's usually the sweet relish with the mayo-----i prefer it not toasted--and i now only use the tuna packs----oh and i hate those tuna packs that are sandwich ready---to me they have a strange artificial taste-
i used to make this great dish---it was kinda like a chinese style tuna and you would serve it over rice---i think i can remember all the ingredients, and there were quite a few----to the two cans of white tuna you added, a big can of chinese vegetables, chicken bouillon, celery, onions, mushrooms and an extra can of water chestnuts ---i think that was all----it was very good, but ended up tasting like chicken
i like the more traditional tuna casseroles as well---even the tuna helper----but frank used to make the best one ever---he doesn't recall what he put into it but i think it had cream of mushroom soup and i know it had rice----loved it----he would make it quite often when i was pregnant and not feeling too well---it was one of those comforting foods we all like--
if i have ever been tempted to order a tuna steak in a restaurant, i will resist---btw--little piece of advice, i follow---they say--never order any seafood on a monday---chances are it won't be fresh--just left-over from the weekend----
I'd never heard that about restaurants before. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI love tuna casserole. Maybe I'll put it on the menu for next week. :)
yeah--i don't know if it really is true--but it was a good source, so i am taking their advice haha---i just might put it on mine too dana :)
DeleteI have to admit, I hate tuna, the smell the texture. I can't eat it in anything. Not sure why but I developed the distaste as a kid and never out grew it.
ReplyDeletei know, some people feel that way--it's kinda funny--robyn loving it so much--her fiance hates it with a passion, susan!
DeleteOooooh, oooooh, call on me! I know why you don't like it, probably! I love tuna, but I started to hate it and my kids liked it at first and then hated it. They don't have very good tuna any more. When I was a kid, solid white tuna was just that. Solid and white. Nowadays when you open a solid white tuna can it is in little pink pieces that look like floor sweepings. When you drain the can there is about half a can there. I have found the - THE - BEST tuna in the whole wide world. And now I am going below to add a comment about where I found it.
DeleteI love tuna casserole, and tuna on crackers, and tuna melts. Recently, my sister and I dropped by to see our Mom around lunch time, and she pulled out our childhood favorite for lunch: an English muffin with tuna and shredded cheese, toasted till the cheese melts. We called it tuna pizza as kids! Still just as good as memory served.
ReplyDeleteoh you reminded me--i was gonna talk about the tuna melt--great memories michelle :)
DeleteWell, I love that t is for tuna.
ReplyDeletehaha i thought you would--thanks suze ;)
DeleteI'm not a tuna fan but sometimes I just order a tuna from Subway for a change and I end up enjoying it :)
ReplyDeleteyeah--i like their tuna---there is another place where we get tuna subs that is really good--i can't think of the name right off--but it's all white tuna and made with sweet pickle!
Deletei like tuna with some pasta and a little bit of fat free salad dressing on it. yummmo!
ReplyDeletei like it that way too pam---and sometimes just with a little italian dressing and just the tuna :)
DeleteYou know, I never thought of that monday thing! I keep coming back because I find your post refreshing! No worries...
ReplyDeletei am a little lost zoe haha tell me again--sorry my brain is kinda mushy today ;)
Deleteoh okay, i get it now---:)
DeleteI AM WITH YOU ABOUT THE A-Z. I actually prayed, Dear God, let this thing end before I lose my mind. I told my daughter it was a poor use of a prayer. :) She said, yeah maybe.
ReplyDeleteLOVE tuna.
haha, i hear ya teresa--little secret--i am so not into it, i actually wrote all the rest of my letters this morning, just to be done with it! :)
DeleteI actually like Annie's tuna helper...not homemade but fast and yummy and natural ingredients;)
ReplyDeletei don't know this brand--tell me more :)
DeleteI like tuna casserole as long as velveeta cheese is melted in. Speaking of melted... I love tuna melts and tuna (plain) on crackers. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteya know, i haven't tried tuna on crackers--adding that to my list--thanks jackie :)
DeleteI love tuna.
ReplyDeleteLast year was my second year on the challenge and I really struggled to get through it and I don't know why. This year I am doing better but still not quite as good as the first one I did.
My T post on welcome to me isn't so good today.
oh you have done great ruth--i just haven't been into the challenge this go round :)
DeleteI think you're doing good. By this time, most people are ready to be done.
Deleteawww i was ready to be done too ruth, that's why i sat here yesterday and finished the challenge---thanks :)
DeleteI'm not a big tuna fan. I may eat it twice a year. I do love fish and try to stick with smaller fish due to the mercury. I love flounder!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday to you!
hugs,
Marie
i try not to think of the mercury no jk---i love all fish!!!
DeleteExcellent choice!
ReplyDeletethanks susan!!
DeleteMmmm...I used to eat tuna melts several times a week. Not so much these days. I wonder why? I think I need to make a trip to the store...thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeletehaha you are welcome joy :)
DeleteTuna fish sandwiches with olives and lettuce was one of the things I really missed having while I was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah cynthia, everything is better with olives!!!
DeleteYucky tuna? Too much mercury? Your worries are over!!! I found the best tuna. I buy it online. It's a bit more expensive, but the can is solid albacore that is really solid tuna with very little liquid in it. I get Oregon's Choice Gourmet tuna ordered from their website: http://www.oregonschoice.com. I do not sell, own, or care if anyone buys this...just thought I'd pass it along. I love tuna, but the tuna now is terrible and I taste tuna all day after eating it. But this is wonderful, and I can eat tuna again! I like the smell, taste, texture, amount in the can, and very low mercury content - just everything about it! Sorry if this sounds like a paid promotion! It isn't. I just got so excited when I ordered half a case and it was good stuff! And so when I saw that your T word was Tuna, well, I just had to share in case anyone else was a disappointed in the quality of tuna available in the grocery stores now.
ReplyDeletehaha you would make a great ad for them!!! thanks for the yummy advice donna :)
DeleteI do enjoy tuna, too. And I am absolutely with you. Those premade packs definitely have an artificial and weird taste to them.
ReplyDeleteso you think so too---and i was really wanting to love them, susan :)
DeleteTuna is a favorite around here, in fact... I have some in the fridge right now.
ReplyDeletehaha- i can never seem to have it in the fridge for long ms. a :)
DeleteI'm not a big fan of tuna salad, but I do like tuna casserole. I never thought about fish not being fresh on Mondays before, but it's probably true in many places.
ReplyDeleteJulie
they have convinced me julie :)
