tuna fish sandwiches

[nickel]

like 'em? hate 'em? tell me how you really feel.

[Gothic Girl]

Ooh! Love em! Especially with dill relish! Mmmmm, now I'm craving one. :lick:

[Cantacuzene]

I don't eat sea food of any variety.

[BrewMaster]

love 'em. my fiancee chops of pickles and puts them in. we both like this better than liquidy canned relish. and chopped olives are yummy in tuna sandwiches.

Mmm, the olives sound really good. I think I'll have to try that one. The relish I use is really good, not liquidy at all. I used to do the chopped pickle thing, but I decided that I'm too lazy for that.

[billxp]

Love em

Add a very thin slice of raw onion, and it has to be on white toast :)

[johnnymk]

I love them with chopped pickles on toast, even though there's a ton of mercury in them.

[YanksFanRy]

I love them too but unlike the rest of y'all I want NO pickles, NO relish, NO celery... nothing of the sort in my sandwich! Just tuna and mayo, thank you very much.

[BrewMaster]

dang you Nickel! now I am craving a tuna sammich for lunch but that is not what i brought with me to work today...

[zenbooty]

I love them too but unlike the rest of y'all I want NO pickles, NO relish, NO celery... nothing of the sort in my sandwich! Just tuna and mayo, thank you very much.
Screw the mayo. I take mine plain, drained, and out of the can (packed in water ONLY), with maybe a leaf of lettuce on top if I've got any around.

[Jenny]

chopped pickles, onion & a little bit of mayo. Yummy stuff.

[Yossarian]

blech. the only sea food i eat is clams and the occasional fresh water trout

[DaFunkyUnit]

its good, but the after-effects (ie. odors) are terrible. so terrible in fact, that even though its a good sandwich, I will not eat one.

[raimin]

no mayo for me, but albacore tuna, stone ground mustard, and bread and butter pickles-on wheat bread

[Merlin]

I love tuna. One of my favorite foods. High in protien and fat free. I typically use it as a meal when I don't have much time for anything else or it is late at night. I'm pretty lazy and single so for me dinner often consists of opening up a can, draining it and just going at it with a fork.

Yes, sometimes I eat like a cat.

[donnar]

I have never had a tuna fish sandwich so I don't know if i like them or not

[mcs328]

mayo and celery on mine.

[cheapie]

can of tuna, some mustard and mayo, S&P, dill relish, a little dash of sugar, a slice of tomato.....YUMMMM!!!!

[guiseppewv]

Some minced garlic (fresh of course), celery, dill, a bit of onion, a couple of fresh slices of tomato, and some light mayo or miracle whip makes a great tuna sammich. I prefer the albacore tuna but I never passed up a regular tuna sammich unless it had a ton of onions in it. :) And I agree with whoever said it has to be on hot, toasted white bread. The difference in the temperature of the bread and the tuna adds something to the sammich. I do like to make tuna wraps too. Yummy. :lick:

Time to try the stuff in a pouch it is better b/c you have to drain less. :)

No time like the present to try something new, especially something as good as this. :)

[caribiner23]

Nothing with mayo, please. :eek3:

been there, done that, but it's got to be albacore and in water.

meeeeeow Merly ;)

[TERRIBLETOM]

Ooh! Love em! Especially with dill relish! Mmmmm, now I'm craving one. :lick:
I like them that way too. Also, with a little chopped onion and celery...

[caribiner23]

do you eat hotdogs caribiner?Mayo on a hotdog? Yikes!

Or am I missing something filthy here? :)

[oblongmelon]

omg :puke:
I can't eat the stuff anymore..seems like everytime I used to open up the cans of tuna I'd find scales, and weird colored meat-(yeh, it was solid white albacore)..that grossed me out. But when I make for anyone else, I add mayo( Helllmans brand only)chopped bread and butter pickles, with a bit of the liquid from the pickle jar, and some celery. (and the only way I would eat it anyway was if it was accompanied by a bowl of cream of tomato soup -for dipping)
occaisonally though-I'm pick my way around some tuna and noodle casserole if I have to.

[raimin]

Mayo on a hotdog? Yikes!

Or am I missing something filthy here? :)
:stupid: i also hate mayo.

no mayo, only mustard, and mayo on a hotdog :puke:

[caribiner23]

There are hotdog places here in Chi that will make a scene if you ask for ketchup or mayo on a hotdog.

"THIS GUY ASKED FOR KETCHUP!!" "BWAHAHAHAHA!!"

[cheapie]

no ketchup on a hot dog? what else would you put on it?

[welfareloser]

funny story... we all know tuna is pretty high in mercury. not so high that it's not okay to eat, but... my husband actually got a patient last month who got fo-real mercury poisoning because she had a tuna fish sandwich every single day for over 20 years. takes a while to build up, but with perseverance, you, too, can damage your cns with mere tuna...


no ketchup on a hot dog? what else would you put on it?

:heh: go to chicago and ask that question. and make sure you do it when i get to watch :heh:

[Jenny]

mustard. heh

I've eaten a lot of hotdogs with mayo on the bun. But now I heat up the hotdog, put it on a bun, put mustard & ketchup on it, cheese on top and heat to melt. :D

[welfareloser]

Time to try the stuff in a pouch it is better b/c you have to drain less. :)

some of us would rather stab ourselves in the eye than spend twice as much on the same amount of food in a slightly different package, tho :P

[raimin]

mustard relish onions sourkraut


or chili and cheese

[Merlin]

That's the reason I don't do it. When I'm doing my grocery shopping the frugal side of me comes out. And when they are side by side it just seems to make so much more sense to just get the can.

[BrewMaster]

mustard relish onions sourkraut


or chili and cheese
hold the onions and the kraut and you've got a deal.

though it isn't a Chi dog, Costco hot dogs and polish sausages ain't bad when you're there already.

[nickel]

Chicago-style Hot Dog (from The Wiener's Circle)

Ingredients:
1 Vienna beef hot dog
onions (chopped)
1 poppy seed bun
tomatoes (sliced)
1⁄4 dill pickle
hot peppers (2 whole)
cucumber slices (optional)
mustard
relish
celery salt

Directions: Boil the hot dog, steam the poppy-seed bun and top with mustard, relish, onions, tomato slices, pickle, hot peppers and a dash of celery salt.Now, truth be told, when I order a hotdog I usually get mustard, pickle, hot peppers and maybe onions if I'm not worried about offending anyone.

[nickel]

Mayo on a hotdog? Yikes!

Or am I missing something filthy here? :)
no..... nothing filthy. i was just thinking if you didn't like mayo, you probably don't like hotdogs.

and NO WAY was i insinuating mayo on hotdogs. :puke:

[Maarchk]

I don't eat sea food of any variety.

Is there a reason for this? I love sushi and lots of sea food and it sounds so sad that you are missing out.. But then again, i'm not a big cow fan... Thats probably a bigger sin...

I eat tuna here and there. Its a nice mix from turkey and pb&j.

Hmm and i've only ever had hot dogs with ketchup. Or chilie and onions. I think thats about the only topings found around so cal. Oh but if you go to Pinks hot dogs in LA. Oh my goodness.. I never seen so many stars lined up for hot dogs in my life.

[caribiner23]

Costco hot dogs and polish sausages ain't bad when you're there already.
:stupid:



no..... nothing filthy. i was just thinking if you didn't like mayo, you probably don't like hotdogs.
Maybe it's all the snow outside fogging my brain, but I don't get the mayo <--> hotdog connection. To me, it's like saying someone might not like fried chicken if they don't like cheese. :)

[BrewMaster]

Oh but if you go to Pinks hot dogs in LA. Oh my goodness.. I never seen so many stars lined up for hot dogs in my life.
that place is so stupid and over rated. i'd rather get a hot dog from a vendor on the street of downtown.

[nickel]

do you have Sabrett's hotdog vendors there or is that just a NY thing?

[BrewMaster]

do you have Sabret's hotdog vendors there or is that just a NY thing?
there's a brand name for hot dog vendors? i dunno, we just have dudes with carts. some don't even have carts, they just have little tables wtih grills they set up near Staples center. Those are the ones with the bacon-wrapped hot dogs that they serve with grilled onions and grilled bell peppers. those are so yummy.

[nickel]

guess it's just an East Coast thing

[Yossarian]

i'll take a Ted's, or a Hebrew National thank you...and if i fry 'em, i'll just enjoy them naked on a bun, grilled, gimmie katchup, boiled, gimmie chili

[Burzhui]

love em

[guiseppewv]

Mustard and ketchup. :P

I know it is a little more expensive but I like the convience and the only thing I didn't like about tuna before the pouch was draining the stuff. Too stinky. Yuk. :)

[WhiskeyPapa]

I love tuna sandwiches. Why is it called "tuna fish"? Will we confuse it with "tuna mammal"?

The only other seafood I'll eat is fishsticks. Fish live in their own toilet.

FWIW, a good all-beef hotdog doesn't need anything but a bun.

[usedillusion]

i can't eat anything that smells like that.

[DarkFury]

Depends on how the tuna is made and the ratio of mayo/mustard/pickle relish in it. :D

[donnar]

Kogells makes the best hotdogs and you have to put onions, mustard and chilli

[zenbooty]

Get yourself some boar's head dogs or Hebrew Nationals and apply stone ground mustard, onions, and horseradish.

[nickel]

tunafish to hotdogs

so does anyone like tuna on their hot dogs? how about slices of hot dog in their tuna sammiches? :D :thumb:

[Yossarian]

dad puts tuna in his mac and cheese, that count as fup duck?

hmmm... with no smiley tags, i can't tell if you know what you're implying or if this is another pearl necklace debacle :hihi:

yeah... because he didn't put peas in with the tuna, like it says to in the directions on teh 1950s-1970s boxes of mac n cheese. ;)

[Yossarian]

i can't really say much, i've been known to mix spam and ramen

VINCENT Thanks a bunch. (to Jules, who's nursing his coffee) Want a sausage?

JULES Naw, I don't eat pork.

VINCENT Are you Jewish?

JULES I ain't Jewish man, I just don't dig on swine.

VINCENT Why not?

JULES They're filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

VINCENT Sausages taste good. Pork chops taste good.

JULES A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie. I'll never know 'cause even if it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfu*ker. Pigs sleep and root in sh*t. That's a filthy animal. I don't wanna eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense to disregard its own feces.

VINCENT How about dogs? Dogs eat their own feces.

JULES I don't eat dog either.

VINCENT Yes, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

JULES I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But a dog's got personality. And personality goes a long way.

VINCENT So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he's cease to be a filthy animal?

JULES We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one motherfu*kin' charmin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres.


hmmm... with no smiley tags, i can't tell if you know what you're implying or if this is another pearl necklace debacle :hihi:

there, now you have your smilies. no, not anther debacle like that.

i'd be willing to try that on a dare

[BrewMaster]

when i was a kid i liked to experiement with weird combination of food. i put whipped cream (the kind from the spray can) on a hot dog one time. not bad, but not good either.

[nickel]

experimenting with spray can whipped cream is even more fun when you aren't a kid.

[BrewMaster]

experimenting with spray can whipped cream is even more fun when you aren't a kid.
no thanks. i don't need no spray can whip cream to get things done.

[YanksFanRy]

Tuna: I like the pouches, they're the same price at my local grocer. Easier for me and less time dealing with it for the cat to notice and come running. I also like hot toasted bread, and sometimes a slice of muenster cheese. I am not a fan of Miracle Whip though now that I partially live in the Midwest people here eat it a lot more, I've really never noticed it in SoCal.

Hot dogs: Favorite is definetly Hebrew National (They serve to a HIGHER authority). I like mustard and catsup. I can't do relish or onions or any of that on it. Sometimes just mustard, sometimes just catsup. With a good HN dog I can even eat it plain.

Of course, there's always franks and beans!

[nickel]

no thanks. i don't need no spray can whip cream to get things done.
it's not about getting it done. it's about fun.


Of course, there's always franks and beans!
[When Ted gets his genitals stuck in the zippers]
Charlie Jensen: Is it the frank or the beans?
Ted: I don't know, both I guess.
Warren: [from outside] Franks and Beans! Franks and Beans!

[BrewMaster]

there are plenty of ways to have fun that don't involve a spray can of whipped cream. you go ahead if you'd like, but i'll pass.

[welfareloser]

yeah, i don't mix food and sex. it's not that i think it's yucky, it's just that it's one or the other... i can't pay attention to both.

[bachviet]

Eat them when hungry enough. :D

[Kevster]

been there, done that, but it's got to be albacore and in water.



I usually prefer white chunk albacore with very little mayo, a bit of spicy mustard and relish/pickles.

Sometimes I substitute pink salmon for albacore though.

For those that don't like the odorous after-effects, that is why Listerine pocketpacks were invented (or altoids).

[zenbooty]

Hot dogs: Favorite is definetly Hebrew National (They serve to a HIGHER authority).
I just like them cause they're kosher. Im not Jewish, but I like knowing that they were made with SOME observed standard of sanitation.

[oblongmelon]

I gotta agree with you there..but then again-really cheap hotdogs taste damn good too!..sometimes the cheaper the better!

[YanksFanRy]

100% beef just is a hell of a lot better. HN, definetly the way to go.

[eSDee]

I love tuna fish sammiches but can never make them as good as a deli :shrug:

Catsup on a hotdog is alright, especially if you are poor and eating nasty ass boiled hotdogs. Gotta cover up the nastiness somehow. However the good dogs you guys/gals are describing should definitely be without.

Also, catsup on a bratwurst is a sin.

[Yossarian]

Also, catsup on a bratwurst is a sin.
the only thing that brats should have is a good bun

As far as dogs go, you can't beat a NY Dirty Water Dog right from the stand. But it has to be a Sabretts Hot Dog and Bun (http://www.nyhotdog.com/hotdogs.shtml) and nothing else.

Second place goes to Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs (http://www.nathansfamous.com/nathans/)

[YanksFanRy]

Second place goes to Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs

Wow... My folks are both from New York so every time we go back we have to find a Nathan's. The delicious dogs, and the fries with those little forky things. Oh, the memories!

[BigJon]

now we're talking tuna salad, right? I love the canned stuff...makes it extra juicy...not dry. I just slap some Miracle Whip and relish on some tuna and viola!

This is something I like to do during the summer, but if anyone here is up for a G|A? 2-day Tuna boat trip out of San Diego I'm game. There's nothing quite like catching your own yellowtail/yellowfin/bluefin/albacore tuna. :lick:

That sounds awesome Kevster. I would definitely be interested in that, although I have never done it before so you might have bait my hook the first few times ;)

i fished for albacore tuna last year, hard work thou, but i caught 3 big ones that day. Lots of tuna eating and sashimi

We'll have to wait until summer as it's too cold right now. I'll try to organize something then. :)

A tuna Sammich is best when you put a layer of potato chips in it. No flamming till you try it.

I love doing that. :) I have been doing it since I was very young (~7 yrs old). It is a great thing. :lick: I don't know that many people who do this. Anyone else put chips on their sammich?

I think I am going to go home and have some tuna for dinner. Yummy. :lick:

[BrewMaster]

yeah, i put chips in my sammiches. not all the time, but sometimes.

i need to stop at the store on the way home, we're almost out of tuna.
