best tuna accomponiment

Kosmiche · 2 May 2010 at 20:27

mayonaise, salad cream, thousand island sauce...ketchup?

personally I find mayonaisse with tuna utterly vile and I dont know why this has been a common sandwhich for so many years.

tuna with salad cream seems to be the ticket, no gluey texture, more "gloopy".

so what do you think is the ultimate tuna accomponiment?

I hate salad cream so that rules it out from my sandwiches

Got to be mayo in mine but it depends on the mayo. Heinz mayo and anything with a Sainsburys label on it is just disgusting in my opinion.

I like a bit of red onion, cucumber, red pepper and raw carrot mixed in too. Nice bit of crunch. Also good on pasta.

I don't like tinned tuna, but I've heard of people using vinegar (not sure if malt/white wine/whatever though) to bind it.

Tuna with ketchup?!! Does that work?!

For me, a bit of mayo with some chopped spring onion and cracked black pepper. Good for sandwiches and the odd jacket potato.

Tuna and mayo for me, either with sweetcorn or else with red onion and topped with finely grated cheese. Try it before you knock it!

Tuna as a 'steak' goes awesomely with teriyaki sauce; I wonder what it's like cold?

Tuna on cream crackers is great. I also like tuna & sweetcorn pizzas, or tuna salad pita breads.

I think I mightve used too much mayo, I used two forkloads for one tin. So it was gluey and horrible and now its tainted my thoughts on mayo

Hellmann's light mayo everytime for me.

I don't use mayo or salad cream. I buy the 'in spring water' kind and use a little vinegar to bring out the flavour with a tiny touch of salt if it needs it. If having it in a sandwich I'll have either a little chopped spring onion or cucumber.

mayo! but has to be co-op mayo! either low fat or full fat is good.

Gotta be mayo.

A bit of salad cream with tuna, some pasta, let it cool.

Then some bread with a unhealthy splodge of salad cream spread evenly across the bread, then cucumber for crunch, then tuna pasta on top then bread.

I have managed to get the sandwich about 2" thick. Damn that was tasty.

As long as it's mixed evenly then Mayo with some cucumber.

i always thought dijon mustard would go well with tuna.. i must try it.

Randomface74 · 2 May 2010 at 20:54

yea a blob of mayo does the trick, you have to mix it up with the tuna before putting it near anything else though.

if I have my tuna with pasta, I also add a squirt of salad creme

kip02 · 2 May 2010 at 20:57

For me its got to be half mayo, half salad cream and a splash of malt vingear. mmmm

Has to be this, but only just enough mayo to bind the tuna together.
