I'll pass on the peas (yes, I love peas), but otherwise, sounds like a
winner.

I did not love peas that much when young, but I *love* sweet peas now
raw in plain salads as well as intuna salad, and pasta salads in
general. Same thing for something like pot pies. didn't like the peas
when I was young, but they add to it now.

I think I hated peas when young as my experiences where with the canned
variety. That's a whole different product. Same thing with spinach.

That's okay, notbob. I served it atop a fresh pineapple ring with toast
and watermelon on the side. It was 90 here today -- breezy. PGA
competitors are getting their money's worth.

Best tuna salad I've eaten in a long time. Maybe the Mrs. Dash did the
trick.

The TJ solid albacore is a very good product. What (more or less,

Lemon, spices. Salt free.
More or less, but that's it. A salt-free blend. Pretty decent.

Canned peas and canned spinach will certainly leave a bad impression.

Yep. Canning is great for a lotta things, but peas and spinach are not
among them. Frozen is ok.

Worked in an all-U-can-eat buffet. Peas w/ diced cheddar cheese in a
mayo dressing (that's all!) wuz a major mover. Even I liked it. Go
figure.

Large, tough, overcooked flavorless peas are truly horrible.
I like raw peas and thawed frozen baby peas, uncooked, alone
or in most kinds of salads.

Sugar snap or Chinese peas grown int he garden have the most flavor when
the peas have begun to swell in the pods. That's when they are the
sweetest. Can't let 'em get too big or they get floury tasting.

A local deli makes that with crumbled crisp bacon and some kind
of ranch dressing spicing. Yowza!

parsley, celery seed, basil, bay leaf, marjoram, oregano, savory, thyme,
cayenne pepper, coriander (cilantro), cumin, mustard seed, rosemary,
garlic, carrot, orange peel, tomato, and lemon juice.

it also says they make nine different blends, and some grill blends and

I worked at a buffet, too. The carrot raisin salad with that
disgusting sugar and mayonnaise dressing, the tubbos almost knocked
each other over getting to it. I couldn't make that pea/cheddar
cheese salad fast enough, either. Heh...

I like all of the above plus diced tomatoes, cukes, bell peppers of
any color, sweet onions, sliced radishes, coarsely grated carrots.
"My" dressing needs mayo and miracle whip, celery seed, a little sugar
or sweet pickle juice and a healthy shot of Tabasco. I use shells for
macaroni. I would KILL to be able to eat this right now!

Now you gone and did it. You use Miracle whip AND mayo in the same
recipe. Now I'm going to have to consider KFing you as a radical.

Hmmm... That got me thinking. There *has* to be some use for the large tough
peas. Of course, you could use them in a puréed soup, and I think the Brits
make "mushy" peas by drying large peas and then cooking them, but what other
uses could be good?

I'll think about it for a while, but thought I'd throw the question out
there.

Good question, Bob. I've never been able to grow Eng. peas at all, so
I've never had the prob., but whatever the solution is, I'm sure it
has more applicability. I am eager to see the answers.

Alex, wishing you well.

I can think of three uses offhand:

Spackle.
Grout.
Compost.

I've never made it with pasta. Sounds good!

My recipe includes:

Well drained canned tuna
Minced black olives
Minced fresh celery
Lemon pepper
Lime based mayoniasse
A dash of garlic powder

Optional depending on mood:

Minced fresh tomatoes
Chopped canned green peppers
Minced fresh garlic chives (I grow them)

:-)

Adding peas and hard boiled eggs sounds tasty too! I may try that.

IMHO adding peas turns it into "tuna a' la' king"!

nb, do try the "no salt added" canned veggies sometime. The taste and
texture (imnsho) are every bit as good as fresh frozen.

It's waiting for someone to make it. :-) I like it, but have made it in
recent memory. I like adding chopped green onions and green peas to it.
When I was growing up, we used to have it maybe one a month for supper for
a Saturday lunch.

Actually tuna tetrazzini is very good, as are tuna pot pies, my mom would
make both often and no matter how much she made is was never enough for the
five of us... of course in those days canned tuna was a far higher quality
product than the meow mix they pass off as tuna nowadays... back then they
didn't even have water packed (unless you bought Season or Geisha brand), we
bought packed in olive oil, and the can was larger, a full D cup worth, one
was enough for a big guy... now I gotta eat two of those measly A cups.

Oh I had forgotten all about tuna tetrazzini, I haven't had that in
ages. I know what I will be making soon : D

I agree, canned tuna is not what it used to be. I remember the oil
pack, I remember it being good. The last time I bought it, I thought
someone had accidentally put in mackerel....gross!

We have it a few times every winter, usually Sunday nights when I just
don't feel like cooking.

An interesting tuna salad that I learned to make when we lived in an
Italian community in R.I. was canned tuna mixed with bottled,drained
and blotted, Progresso "pepper salad", mixed pepper strips in olive oil.
It was a tasty combination. That was before canned tuna took on the
consistency of total mush.

Third try to post this!
Creamed tuna on toast is appearing frequently on the table of She-who-
has-no-teeth . . .

PS Peas are great - frozen but not the little teeny ones - they don't
squash easily. Like eating BBs!

Picnic pork shoulder done in a crockpot...is quite easy on the gums and cheap too. And also dices
nice into scrambled eggs...ooops I forgot your jewish. How jewish are you...maybe pork won't be
an issue...I'll risk your scorn.

Gloria - Have you tried the "packets", particularly the Albacore comes
in quite nice chunks that need to be dismembered for salad use. All this
talk of tuna today, and I changed my dinner choice to tuna salad
sandwiches instead of a casserole I was going to make since its
currently 87F in the house.

Sure - peas, sautéed onion, maybe some celery.

Comfort food!

Remember Creamed Vegetables - with a pinch of cayenne?

Before I married, I observed meatless Wednesdays and Fridays during
Lent. Creamed salmon on toast. Creamed peas and carrots on toast.
Creamed tuna on toast. Never had creamed eggs on toast, though.

You're not helping, you know... :-)

The most-promising things I came up with are these:

Gnocchi
Hummus (but you'd want to use a food mill)
Empanadas or Samosas (as part of the filling)
Puréed as a thickener for minestrone
Puréed with butter, lettuce, and mint as a sauce for lamb

I really think they can be redeemed...but it's not an easy task!
