let's play: What's in my tuna?

[IrishCream]

I read somewhere that canned sardines improve with age.  That there are secret societies of sardine-can keepers, who maintain private lists of which brands are best at what age.  All very esoteric.  No, I am NOT making this up.  I just can't remember where I read it. 

I read it in one of James Villas books. But after reading this thread I am thinking of throwing them out...specially since I prefer anchovies.

Beg to disagree, oh revered one. But Lady: You gotta be making this up!

If I could make up stuff like that, I'd have already written the Great American Novel.

May I ask: do you eat tuna from a can though it's been cooked in that can? if so, what you best like to do to tuna when it's no longer in its can or embedded in little white balls?

mixed with olives and parsley and capers and mustard and a wee bit of mayo on crunchy bread with crunchy lettuce.

have you ever tried freshly grated ginger with canned tuna?

[BigMac]

My only question is why would you eat canned tuna in the first place? If there is anything that looks and smells like cat food for humans, that's it.

Can't stand the stuff. (actually never tried it, the smell alone turns my stomach)

But I would have to add my "it is congealed fat" vote.

'cause it tastes good?

tommy: try making an uncooked pasta sauce with EVOO, lemon juice, capers, minced Kalamata (or other Greek) olives, Italian flat-leaf parsley, minced red or Bermuda onion, grated lemon zest and Italian oil-packed tuna. The EVOO, lemon juice, tuna and parsley should form the basis of the sauce. You can replace the capers with a little sprinkle of bottarga. Use this with penne, fusilli, or other similar pasta.
