Two Very Important Questions

[Julio Riddols]

I agree with korme on the taco noodle thread. Time for a recipe thread. We'll need an index and everything. Someone with better posting skills than I will need to handle the details..

Greek Yogurt for me there too, with a bit of dried mustard.

Have you tried Miracle Whip? I don't like mayo either, but Miracle Whip is a different story. Maybe it is only in Canada, though, some foods are like that. But anyways, the kind we get is even made with Olive Oil so it's sort of aimed right at you. Tastes great with tuna.

That sounds worth trying, I'll check it out, thanks.

Miracle Whip is in the US - in fact, one of the great factionist culinary wars in the US is Miracle Whip vs Mayo (Miracle Whip, btw, though I don't mind mayo on a sub sandwich)

Hell, in my part of the country there's a even fiercer and more divisive war within the mayo category itself: Duke's vs Blue Plate.

About the only thing those factions agree on is scoffing at Hellman's and openly mocking Miracle Whip people

Blue Plate? Savages.

Miracle Whip ONLY on BLT, everything else MAYO

I've had tuna made with olive oil and chopped tomatoes and onions. This is our go-to tuna salad when our 6yo is not requesting the mayo-based tuna salad.

They do if you ask.

[digamma]

Of course, but he was asking about getting a plain piece of chicken--I wrongly assumed he was going for the fried version. On that one it is much easier to take the things off since it is so minimal.

And the only correct way to do tuna is this.

1. Throw away the tuna.
2. Go to Costco and get the salmon, not the cheap one you bastard the more expensive 3 can pack. Trust me it's HIGH quality, even my commercial fishing uncle says it's the best.
3. Go home.
4. Get out the f-ing mayo.
5. Drain the salmon and mix that shit up. Mayo, Salmon, and some sweet relish.
6. Put mayo on both slices of bread.
7. Put salmon salad on bread.
8. Eat up.
9. Repeat.

Where is Chick-Fil-A in New Jersey, besides the mall ones?

[ISiddiqui]

There are a few. I know there is one in Brick.

I'll have to get investigate. Looks like there is one in Woodbridge and one in Flemington for me to check out. There is also a Hardee's in New Brunswick which is the first I've seen north of Virginia with in my life.

I've long wondered about the cans of salmon. My brain just can't process the concept of premium canned fish, so I've never gotten beyond the curiosity phase.

If you're going to put that little effort into making a tuna sandwich, just eat the stuff out of the can and use the bread for literally anything else - a BLT, a PB&J for dessert so you don't have stinky fish breath, the possibilities are endless.

Anyhow my secret ingredient is chopped red onion that's been soaked in red wine vinegar for a few minutes before mixing it in. That's usually enough crunch for me without having to resort to celery; if I want more I'd rather just make a lettuce wrap out of it or something.

I do this with egg salad too.. cut up a couple hard boiled eggs, lay on bread, then add mayo a slice of onion and some relish.

Yeah, Flemington opened a year or two ago after Burger King burned down. The one I go to is in Newtown PA.

That I can understand more if the eggs are sliced up - would be like that one kind of Scandanavian sandwich whose name I'm not going to try to spell. But the idea of having a bite that's part dry, flavorless tuna that falls out of the sandwich and part plain mayo on bread just makes me shudder.

Well I can eat tuna straight out of the can as long as it's packed in water. (I do drain it)

At least with the can everything's packed in there, but once you put it in a sandwich without mixing in something like mayo as an adhesive, that's just asking for everything to crumble all over the place. I guess if you like tuna *that* much then picking up all the spare flakes at the end is probably enjoyable for you, ya sicko

If you get really soft bread.. it tends to hold in there for the most part.
