I love grilled onions. Mmmm.<BR/><BR/>I should note that my tuna-filling isn't too similar to the variety you may be familiar with. The reason for this is that I use sour cream instead of mayo. I also use a horseradishy German mustard. Both of those items, combined with the tuna in olive oil and the onions makes for some good eats ... in my book anyhow. :)<BR/><BR/>My wife disagrees. She thinks the sour cream makes it "too tangy". Oh well ... more for me! :)Harry/JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259374954499772933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-11168116418566639622008-12-13T16:04:00.000-08:002008-12-13T16:04:00.000-08:00OK let's get into language hehe.A 'tuna salad sand...OK let's get into language hehe.<BR/><BR/>A 'tuna salad sandwich' usually has tuna and greens and other salad items in it. It's actually a green salad with tuna, roughly.<BR/><BR/>A 'tuna mix sandwich' is where the tuna has been mixed into a sort of lumpy spread with mayo, corn, peas, spring onions, etc. This is spread onto the sandwich alone (or with a thin layer of lettuce like you say). I can't stand it, I find they put way too much mayo in to make the paste spread further.<BR/><BR/>Did you say you caramelise the onions for it though? That's a new idea... hmmm ... got me thinking....Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764523501254546622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-5098144837959771012008-12-13T10:24:00.000-08:002008-12-13T10:24:00.000-08:00I am definitely a one dish kinda gal, myself, Harr...I am definitely a one dish kinda gal, myself, Harry. Makes it easy to transport to work, too.<BR/><BR/>I add boiled eggs to my tuna salad or sometimes I fix it with basalmic vinegar, red onions and, in times past, white beans. <BR/><BR/>I had to LOL! at Erika's comment that salad generally has lettuce in it. True but we have so many that don't, don't we? Chicken, Waldorf, Potato and Bing Cherry are a few others.Solshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310842588021525213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-21539251754520246872008-12-12T23:32:00.000-08:002008-12-12T23:32:00.000-08:00Thanks, Erika!

High praise indeed. :)<BR/><BR/>I think I may not have described my lunch very well. By "tuna salad" I meant something like the filling of a "tuna salad sandwich". <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if it's the same where you're at but over here, that's a pretty popular sandwich.<BR/><BR/>It basically consists of tuna, mayo, relish, sometimes chopped celery and spices (usually). That's the "salad" part of the sandwich. Sometimes they'll add a leaf of lettuce between the bread and the "salad" though.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I really like simple one-dish meals - especially for lunch. That's why I make things like the "burrito in a bowl" or the "tuna salad".Harry/JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259374954499772933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-81999383857139018942008-12-12T23:24:00.000-08:002008-12-12T23:24:00.000-08:00Thanks, BayouBabe.

I'm sure it was drool-worthy. The tuna salad caught my eye though, what was that like? I rarely think of something as a salad if it doesn't have lettuce in it.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764523501254546622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-36087743223662944892008-12-12T16:57:00.000-08:002008-12-12T16:57:00.000-08:00a rib eye sounds terrific !!
