The normalcy and frequency in which our generation ate tuna sandwiches

Steel1000@reddit

My mind was blown when I worked at a shop that put soy sauce in the tuna…sounds weird but it’s amazing.

[-]

ManaMama87@reddit

Haha that's what we do in Hawaii. Maki sushi!

I like to make spicy tuna salad sandwiches. It's kind of a sushi/ sandwich mashup. Tuna salad made with Kewpie mayo, soy sauce and Sriracha. Needs some lettuce and I like sliced cucumbers and sweet peppers with it.

[-]

mrs_hippiequeen@reddit

my husband adds coffee grounds to our tuna, and i know what you're thinking, but try it 😋

[-]

pushdose@reddit

I’m sorry, what?

[-]

mrs_hippiequeen@reddit

just a pinch, like pretend it's pepper! it isn't going to make your sandwich taste like a mocha frapp...it's just black coffee grounds, and it is just a teeny hidden flavor in there that is weird and good 😂

[-]

FallingBackTogether@reddit

I do that! It's so good!

[-]

SassySweetSorceress@reddit

It’s probably good! I’m going to try that one day.

My husbands family puts white distilled vinegar on their tuna sandwich & ever since I tried it I haven’t gone back - just adds to it!

A lot of seafood these days is imported,I live in California and even here most of the seafood at the local grocery stores isn't from California or heck even the Pacific coast.Yo have to live directly next to the coast for the local catch and it's usually twice as expensive as the imported frozen stuff

More people eat tuna now than used to when i was growing up. It's incredibly healthy.

[-]

gottarespondtothis@reddit

Aside from the mercury anyway. But IIRC even with the higher levels in albacore you’d have to eat a significant amount everyday to see adverse effects.

[-]

Classic_Breadfruit18@reddit

I don't believe there is any amount that causes adverse effects. It's an urban myth. I live in Hawai'i and tons of people here literally eat fresh tuna almost every day. Not some small 3 oz from a can either, like 6 or 8 ounces a day. No one has birth defects, no one has mercury poisoning. I have heard that the selenium naturally present in seafood binds to and totally negates the mercury.

[-]

Accomplished_Book427@reddit

I was obsessed with tuna sandwiches as a kid. My kindergarten best friend and I both came from poor families so our respective birthday "treat meals" were always tuna sandwiches. With MAYO not miracle whip shudder

[-]

Sidetrackbob@reddit

I have been vegetarian for a year almost and was for about a five year stretch once before, but pretty much any time I wasn't vegetarian, I ate a ton of tuna. Being a broke mofo from the northeast, I bought many a can of 79¢ tuna. I have read due to my neurological issues that apparently the cheapo chunk light is actually better for your nerve health than solid white albacore surprisingly.

They probably grew up eating it and happened not to initially hate it. My mom made tuna casserole frequently and I didn’t really mind it but my sister hated it. I occasionally think it would sound good and as far as I know my sister has never voluntarily eaten it again since 1989.

Tuna casserole was one of two things my mom knew how to make, it was gross as shit and we would eat it like once a week. Blech

mrs_hippiequeen@reddit

the difference between tuna salad and tuna casserole is HUGE.

[-]

LunaSea1206@reddit

I used to make it more regularly, but hubby complicated the recipe. He introduced me to adding chopped up boiled eggs. I ended up loving the addition, but I hate making hard boiled eggs (mainly the peeling part). And I can't just throw it all together in a few minutes like before. I also add chopped up dill pickles, sweet onion, green onion, black olives, dukes mayo, salt and pepper, a ton of celery seed, paprika, dried dill and dried parsley. So much prep work for a sandwich, so I make a large batch and we eat it for a few days and then forget about it until 6 months or a year later and I do it again.

[-]

I can do a tuna sandwich, but it has to be over the top good. And since iv been a chef for 20 years, pretty much mine is the only one thats over the top good. Jimmy John's back in the day had a decent one, and most high end places Iv worked at just did tuna melts and not sandwiches (where also pretty good too, but not a sandwich)

But yeah a solid tuna sandwich seasoned with tamari, and some fresh sprouts, with a few slices of seasoned English cucumber slices and a very crisp piece of butter lettuce on a very lightly toasted French roll. Just spectacular....

Also if you put eggs in your tuna salad, fuck you.

AbsintheAGoGo@reddit

The irony of seeing this now, after catching a reel not too much time earlier where a guy was showing what a recent can of Charley the tuna brand looked like now... it was not the stuff of memory. Maybe he did something to it, or maybe it really is that gross looking now, I haven't had it in decades to know the difference.

I can still recall it with perfect clarity, right down to the way the white bread texture was upon sinking my teeth in.

I'm more of a cuisine what I grow or from known providers these days, and I just don't know anyone out deep sea fishing right now, so I'll leave it to you all.

Tuna is cheap, high in protein and delicious if you mix a little mayo, hint of soy sauce (Jimmy John’s secret right there) and some dill pickle relish. Nothing wrong with a sandwich that costs less than $1.50 these days

We make tuna salad sandwiches pretty frequently and 10-year-old even opts for them at restaurants.

There is something about the canning process or whatever goes into it that makes me wretch whenever I smell that smell.

It’s not tuna specifically because I’ve had it at a restaurant and it tastes pretty similar to other fish.

I honestly prefer the smell of wet cat food than that tuna can smell.

I still love tuna! Gotta watch what types and brands you buy though. Because of the lead.

A good tuna salad, though? So good. So, so good. But it takes a lot of prep time if you want to get it right. Gotta have some hard-boiled egg, fresh celery and red onion, dill relish, and just the right balance of mayo and mustard.

[-]

neckbeardsghost@reddit

I still eat tuna and tuna sandwiches, but the tuna salad is so much fancier now… Lol. Instead of putting pickles in it like my mom did, I use lemon juice and dill, alongside the onions, celery and mayonnaise.

Sometimes I instead throw in some chickpeas, artichoke hearts, olives, and roasted red peppers/sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil instead of mayonnaise. Whatever I have on hand.

It’s still so tasty!

You might have had tuna sandwiches, I didn't. Can't stand the taste.

I love tuna. I even willingly make and enjoy tuna noodle casserole

Haven’t had one since I went vegetarian at 12 years old but weirdly, it’s one of the foods that I miss once in awhile.

I still make my husband tuna sandwiches every once in a while. At least twice a month. He loves them. I hate fish, so no thanks.

Tuna sandwich still smacks

I quit eating tuna sandwiches when the cans shrunk and I could not longer get two good sandwiches from a can. The sandwiches themselves were pretty great. Sounds like yours were poorly made, maybe?

My 11 year old asks for them for his school lunches at least once a week.

Oddly enough, I used to hate tuna when I was a kid. I think it's because mom used to make tuna sandwiches for my brother a lot andi disliked the smell. Nowadays, I'll happily eat it at work.

This really made me crave a tuna sandwich.

I used to bring tuna sammies to school in the 80's/90's all the time. I still eat them, but don't really eat lunch at work much so I'm good there. Tuna casserole is also a staple at my house thanks to my wife.

I only ate (and still typically only eat) tuna salad sandwiches at home. A room-temp tuna sandwich sounds disgusting. In school it was always peanut butter/pbj/cheese/cheese & peanut butter sandwiches.

My go-to is prepping a bowl with toasted sesame oil, white pepper, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, then adding a pack or can of tuna, mixing that up, warming up some rice, adding that in, and topping it with scallions.

I still buy a few cans of tuna every month. I make a pretty good tuna melt.

Freshly made tuna on hot wheat toast…mmm, now I know what I’m having for lunch tomorrow 😁

You’re not even allowed to send tuna sammies in a lunch bag to my kids school (and no nuts, no sesame, no this no that… wtf to pack for lunch? Ugh)

I love tuna! Just thinking back to the school day lunch tuna sammies, the frequency was wild. I've volunteered at my daughter's school (elementary school) and nary a tuna sandwich in sight. The idea of it repels these children. In our day it was the norm.

Never ate tuna until I was in my 20s.

Years ago I worked in an office building where we shared break room space with other companies. There was a monster working for one of the other companies that would daily microwave a can of tuna and put it on toast. It smelled so awful. We’d leave the room and go back to work.

Consider the last time you actually saw (or smelled) someone bring in a tuna sandwich to work, school, anywhere really.

Never.

Including myself.
