Fred catches a lot of fish when we're away so we eat fresh @DeanC

@Griff Ferrell just make sure it's not cheaper tip prep yourself. I recently bought tinned beans (to go on toast) but that's rare because it is a lot cheaper to do at home.

When I was a kid the cheap canned fish was salmon.

I remember going down to the docks and looking at the boats of the Starkist tuna fleet.

I never developed a taste for canned tuna, but I do find it OK in fresh form. My wife is a total salmon lover, so we have that rather frequently - I like it with lots of peppercorns and mango salsa.

Tuna salad around here is tuna, mayo, and relish or (if I'm feeling really ambitious and have the required ingredient on hand) celery. I don't think I've ever been ambitious enough to make a tuna melt.

Can we talk about open-faced sandwiches? Are they really a thing?? I'm told that's the reason why my (European, gf) bread comes in annoyingly odd-numbered packages 😒 I would make such a mess trying to eat like that, wtf.

Mark's Tuna salad sandwich
Tuna ( water pack )
dijon mustard ( this is the primary wetting agent )
mayo ( a small amount )
TJ's Spicy Dynamite Sauce ( vegan spicy mayo )
TJ's Italian Bomba hot pepper sauce ( or Harissa if I have some open )
Diced spicy pickle
diced green onion
optional diced green olive stuffed with garlic or jalapeno

Toasted ciabatta roll
tasty sharp cheddar or aged gouda

Tuna Melt:
Albacore, water packed, mixed with, onion, mayo, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper, (optional plain yoghurt for mayo + lemon juice)
Tomato slice
Sharp cheddar, gouda, provolone or swiss
Whole grain bread, buttered one side.
Toast assembled sandwich, buttered side out in skillet on low.

Fuck me, now I want one.

That’s comforting. I mean that truly.

@Griff Ferrell Thanks. I try to check in at least most days because I notice when others don't. For example, Bob Lai disappeared a while back, and that's our loss. He had already ignored me, because I favored Kamala over Joe when Joe had that awful debate performance, but I still think he's a good egg. It's too bad when people who agree on all but one point decide to let that one point be the wedge between them. As one of my favorite authors wrote, though:

"And so it goes." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Tuna, well if canned it becomes a tuna melt, mixed with mayo and sometimes sweet relish, slice of cheese (probably Jarlsberg or pepperjack) and sometimes a slice of tomato and toasted, sometimes with lettuce added in before serving.

But A tuna Burger would be a store bought cut of tuna in roughly burger size with tartar sauce and lettuce,
