Tuno or not tuno?

[mosquito]

What do you think Tuno?

[Balabean]

A little too stinky-fishy for me.

[eggplant]

I've been afraid to try it, but probably will someday.

[Quizeen]

It's too expensive for the ambiguity of it all. I'm partial to the chickpea/kelp powder tuna salad style sub recipes available to shell out almost $5 for one can of Tuno. But, if someone offered me some, I'd give it a try.

[clusswoman]

bought it and it sat for a few weeks---got the courage one day and nearly barfed. Disgusting. :eek:

[Tommy Gun]

As long as it's the canned kind. I haven't had the other kind, but a LOT of people *hate* it. I love the canned kind, in tuno pasta salad. Yum yum yum. There have been tons of tuno threads, search and you'll find them. I posted the recipe in one too.

[Galatea]

I like it. It's a little salty but if you mix it with other stuff to cut the bite down a bit, it's quite good.

[VeggieBiker]

My fiance and I tried it. I hated it but then again I never liked fish. He pronounced it edible if a lot of mayo was added but has since vowed to never eat it again.

[meatless]

I have never seen Tuno in my entire life.

[strawberry]

I HATE TUNO!

My first impression when I opened the can was: This looks like cat food, and it smells like cat food. It also tasted like cat food I imagine. It was okay with lots of Veganaise though.

[Quizeen]

Veganaise could make an old shoe taste good. That's some good eatin'

[Walter]

I like it with some pepper, vegenaise, a chopped up onion, etc. :lick:

(And corn chips!)

[mouse]

It's OK with veganaise and pickle relish.

It looks pretty much like tuna I guess. It comes in a really big can, enough for about six sandwiches. My Wild Oats sells it for $3.69

I've really been wanting to try this but I'm terribly frightened! It's so split down the middle on who likes it and who doesn't! AAHHH!!!

[karen]

I've got a can in my pantry, untouched, taunting me. I'm also very, very afraid. Think I will work up my courage this week and try it.

Last year I bought Veat in salmon-filet style (formed into the shape with fake skin and everything). Tossed it out after it sat in the freezer for 8 months. I just couldn't go the distance... :worried:

I personally love Tuno. I love to make Tuno salad sandwiches, Tuno pasta salad, Tuno casserole, or putting it anywhere that canned tuna would go.

It is pricey, though. I wouldn't be opposed to trying one of the chickpea versions of tuna to save a few bucks.

[Kreeli]

canned tuno is very, very bad. i tried to make a casserole out of it and the smell and texture were just so cat-foody i couldn't stomach more than a bite. it all had to be thrown out because even my dog wouldn't touch the leftovers.

i hear the frozen variety is different and i'd be willing to give it a go, but i haven't seen it in any of the stores around here.

[punkmommy]

Ewww, no Kreeli, don't even bother :spew: It's sick. I opened it up and had to wash the stink off my hands immedietly. It smelled like low-tide :no: I won't be buying it again. I prefer the kind I make myself with TVP, vegenaise, spices onion and red pepper.

I found that the best way to use Tuno is to strain it and wash it under water first to get the slimmy stuff out of there. Then it's great with some vegenaise and relish and onions. YUM!

yeah, i totally agree. i couldn't handle it until i washed off all the oil and smelly stuff. after that, it was pretty yummy with vegenaise and relish. maybe i'll try it in a casserole next time......

when i have money. :tired:

[monkey086]

I got up the nerve to try a can of Tuno last night and was appalled at the smell!! I rinsed it really good, added some onion, soy mayo, and green pepper and had a sandwich on whole wheat bread with a little lettuce...it didn't taste that bad! Unfortunately, the thought of what I was eating really grossed me out because of the smell, and I don't think I will be able to stomach it again!
