The last FIVE times I’ve ordered a tuna salad sandwich at a diner, it’s been just tuna, not tuna salad. This is very upsetting, and for the sake of preveserving my marriage I’m not able to just make tuna salad at home. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Places I know I can’t get one:
-
Margie’s Candies
-
Bridgeport Coffeehouse
-
Moon’s Sandwich Shop (Western & Madison)
Please. It’s been so long.
She grew up on the coasts, and has strong opinions about how fish should be prepared; ones that don’t align with my Midwestern upbringing.
The problem is, a lot of places are saying they serve a tuna salad sandwich, but the sandwich is just tuna, not tuna salad. Searching menus online won’t cut it. Hence soliciting personally recommendations.
What are you considering tuna salad? I’ve never seen a place that just put tuna on a sandwich, normally it’s that premixed stuff with mayo only.
It has to, at a bare minimum, have celery or onion mixed in, preferably both. Also common are corn, peas, various herbs, bell peppers, olives, pickled or raw cucumber, or other garden vegetables.
You’re never going to find that in a restaurant. You’ll have to make it at home.
It’s pretty common to see in the Great Plains, in diners and the like.
That’s sounds reasonable, but now I’m wondering why your wife would object to that.
It’s the pre-cooked, packaged tuna that she objects to.
LOL! I can totally see this argument from both sides! She’s right about canned tuna, but you’re right about tuna salad!
Honestly, this reply raises more questions than it answers.
This feels like some Andy Kaufman shit…
