No chopped dill pickles?  :headshake:
I guess I could substitute the squeeze of lemon for the dill pickles.  :notsure:

Oh! I love tuna! I make the best tuna sandwiches! Let's compare recipes!
:secrets1: I know you've mentioned before that you're not a very good cook, but I still want to know how you make yours.

Mine would seem rather boring in comparison. I take a can of tuna chunks and smear it on some bread. If there's a tomato lying around then some of that goes in there too. 

And that's about it.  :blush:

:therethere:
I'm sure plain tuna with tomatoes tastes good.... :grin:

I think that both by themselves taste good, putting them together is an added bonus. :grin:

On a different note, I think I'm high on air right now. :grin:

We connoisseur types are fully aware that all canned tuna is not of the same quality. Nor is the quality of fresh tomatoes to be taken lightly. Do exercise the clearly superior  judgement that is the hallmark of HAF members everywhere.

Cut a prime tomato into a flower pattern and place in a suitable small bowl. Prior removal of skin is optional. Blanching the tomato is the approved way of removing the skin.  A few seconds in boiling water and the skin is easily removed.  Drain the tuna and then spoon or fork it generously over the tomato flower. No pickle, jalapeno, or other diluent is required at this point. Flood the whole of it with a good Italian dressing with a possible hint of Tabasco sauce. Add a dab of grated parmesan cheese along with a little bit of coarse ground black pepper.  Serve with croutons or alternatively with some torn bits of French, or Cuban bread or baguette. If you are feeling grandiose then a sprig of parsley  can decorate the top of your creation.  Enjoy!

Gourmet!  Yum.  But as far as sandwiches are concerned, we're forgetting an important component -- the bread.  I favor Russian rye or wheat berry bread.

Not bad, Icarus:yum:

I would just like to say that Tabasco sauce is more of an East Coast thing, Tapatio sauce is more of a West Coast thing.
~That's all. Just wanted to clear that up.  :grin:

Yes, rye, or sourdough.  :)

True -- for tuna salad?
