well, i will confess to never having a tuna melt - maybe it's a fine thing
indeed. but cheese is often offered as an addition to a cold tuna salad,
and i can't get my head around that.

One of the "church basement" casserole dishes that was rife when I was
growing up was tuna casserole with slices of Velveeta on top...kinda "icky".
And I agree about the cheese with tuna salad thing, it's a no - go...

'bout the only fast food place I hit any more is Taco Hell... and _only_
for their cheap crispy tacos. It's been about 2 years tho' since I've

If you go far enough back, they all had good product. That's why they
still exist even with the crappy ones now. They hooked an entire

I can't wait till Taco Bell pwns them all, and is a special treat for

Next time you visit a diner type place, and are feeling venturesome,
give the tuna melt a shot. I like it every bit as much as a patty melt.

What about a green pea and cheese cube salad, dressed with mayo, I
think. I could never abide the idea.

Alton Brown makes a green pea and cheese salad with vinaigrette:

The closest I've seen to what you describe is a mayo-dressed potato salad
with cheese, peas, and carrots added. I think it was called a "Russian
salad."

Ya know, a lot of recipes that sound...icky on paper can be pretty tasty
IRL.

I'm sure you've had that ladies potluck special--the layered salad.
Layered in a glass bowl, something like green pepper, peas, celery,
green (or yellow?) onion, tomato, shredded lettuce, crumbled bacon,,
shredded cheese topped with some kind of herb mayo and rested in the
fridge overnight.

When I saw the recipe in an increasing number of community cookbooks, I
thought "No way in h*ll am I ever gonna eat that goop."

Fate had it that at a kickoff luncheon for some organization I was faced
with the attractive-but-unknown layers of the stuff. I was advised:
"Make sure you dig all the way to the bottom and get all the good
stuff." Um, sure.

I gingerly dug out a small serving, "all the way to the bottom" and made
my way along the buffet which, for the most part, had some decent food.

I was very pleasantly surprised that the layered stuff was quite good,
crisp vegetables with a small amount of inoffensive dressing. I've
never made it at home, but I don't go out of my way to avoid it when I
see it on a buffet table.

Live and learn.

I've tried miracle whip, but than I spit it out. It "might" be okay for
something I suppose, but for a BLT? I think not. A vinegar flavored mayo
is not my idea of something that belongs on a sandwich.

tthere.

Vinegar? I though people complain about it being sweet.

No...That's Miracle Whip. Mayo has an acid like lemon or lime juice or a mild vinegar.

When I make mayo, or use Helmanns, the flavor has a slight background
taste of lemon, or other citric acid. When I taste Miracle Whip, it's
like someone added a 1/4 cup of vinegar. But you are right some complain
about the sweet. If you add enough sugar to take the pucker out of the
vinegar, it's also overly sweet.

Oh please! ... come on.. some nice Swiss on rye with tuna salad, i fix
it routinely, what i dont like is raw green onions in my tuna salad
...... "blech" ... however recently, when i remember to speicaly buy it,
i can get a can of olive oil packed albacor, which i lightlly squeeze
most, but not all of the excess oil from (reserving for other uses) and
proceed to dress the tuna with vinigar, lemon juice, crushed garlic,
black pepper as for a vinegrett. A bit of mayo on the bread, and a nice
big leaf or two of red leaf lettuce, slice of tomato, swiss cheese.

I serve it hot, right out of the oven, with the cheese still bubling.
Though leftover, cold, straight from the fridge is an acceptable

If you were culinarily astute (which you are definitely not, neither are you
astute.) you'd know that when tuna is canned, when salmon, herring, anchovy,
sardines, etc. are pickled and/or smoked, they are transformed from 100%
seafood to manufactured seafood products, same as cheese foods like Velveeta
are manufactured cheese products, and can be paired with particular
mild/unripened cheeses; American/cream/farmer.

My god, you mean that when seafood is processed it actually turns into
a manufactured product??? Wow, you are really culinarily astute, there,
very intelligent indeed. What would we do without such clarity of mind.
