Best canned tuna ever.

[mechadylan]

Brian117 seeking tuna... now I really have seen it all.

As for the matter at hand it looks like I will have to add canned tuna to the list of things Americans fail to get right when it comes to food. As we discovered earlier bread is also not a talent there so I now just feel sorry that something as nice as a proper tuna sandwich goes unknown by so many.

I think you're partially right on this one. Growing up, I had a friend who's dad worked in a nearby cannery. They always had the best canned tuna, salmon, etc in non-labeled cans as they were considered shipping rejects and therefore totally edible and up for grabs for the employees. Years later, I asked my friend's dad what brand they were so I could buy them and he told me that all of the "good" canned stuff (one city over from our houses,) is exported to foreign countries. I was in shock.

After seeing this thread I decided to get Subway's tuna sub for dinner. Thanks Rydian for making me spend $6.50 tonight.

Tuna just doesn't taste as good after they stopped putting dolphin in it... lol

One day, I want my tuna to sing. Then I'll call it Tuna Turner.

And everything will be right with the world.

"Solid white" by most major brands is like that, and it's the best way to eat tuna (unless you're getting legit Japanese tuna sashimi, holy tits is that fucking unbelievable stuff).

"chunk lite" and "chunk white" are quite far from "chunks". Those are the tuna "pulp" that you're talking about. It's cheaper if you need a tuna fix and don't have the money for the good stuff, but it's just not the same.

Just had some tuna. Yum.

Pulpy tuna water? eugh.... I can't say I've even seen that in our "flaked varieties. Chunk is my fave though as it means less draining.

 

[Icealote]

mmm tuna...

While I am a tuna aficionado, there is something mildly...off...about reading about it on the Temp.

Surely you mean something mildly fishy?

Canned tuna thread on the 'Temp?

Yes, there's definitely something...uncanny...about it.

Damnit, any good tuna salad recipes? -1 to anyone that mentions Miracle Whip.

I prefer tuna in oil, I found the water version way too dry in mouth.

That only happens when you drain the stuff. Put it into a bowl with all the water left in it, butter a still-hot toast, smash the still-dripping tuna on and enjoy.

You really made me hungry I'll try it

Dry tuna, unless you have a proper tuna steak, is rancid but that is why you mix it with something. My personal preference is salad cream but that is a different matter.
That said on the water ones did you try the salt water ones or the spring water ones? I often found spring water better but I equally dislike salt.

@Gahars I would send you one of those singing fish but well

I figure having to stick carriage bolts through a structural beam to hold the thing to the wall would be a step too far.

The temp hungers and craves tuna now, can the Rydian feed the five thousand members but with a single can?

Confirmed: Rydian is Leonard.

Huh, so these videos exist after all...

Spoiler: Tuna cheddar melt grilled sandwiches

*EDIT 1

Spoiler: This sandwich pairs well with creamy tomato bisque soup

*EDIT 2*
Damn you, Rye-dian. Damn you to hell for making me crave something for which I have not the ingredients in my kitchen to make right NAO. Even your name is making me think of bread for my sandwich D:
