Agreed, celery is an absolute must, I wouldn't open a can before
checking that the celery is still good.... and minced parsley too, and
too much onion ruins it, I prefer one sliced scallion per three
cans.... I always make three cans so I can have leftovers (plus pusses
polish off half a can before I even begin). For herbs I use dillweed,
for snap, chitato pips. No eggs, no schpickle. Black pepper of
course. On toast w/lettuce-mato. Did I mention mayo.... sometimes a
spritz of fresh lemon. The only ingredients that are manditory are
the tuna, mayo, and celery, everything else is optional... don't even
need bread, I like tuna stuffed celery sticks.
