My husband who has a definite lack of taste tells me it is OK to put a slice of
American cheese on tuna fish. I say cheese on tuna fish is only acceptable if
you then grill the thing making it a tuna melt. Does anyone here put cheese on
Tuna fish sandwiches?

Amber in central Illinois

Try garlic toast, your favorite tuna salad and melt Swiss cheese atop.

A favorite little place in Dallas makes a wonderful tuna on whole grain with a
slice of delicious white cheddar. It was a happy surprise, but I now make it
that way at home.

Sometimes I put some grated manchego on my tuna tacos. I used to think
fish tacos were odd, but tuna, mahi-mahi, and other meaty fish work
great. They are also healthier than ground beef or pork shoulder and
cook fast. Serve with a fresh salsa and a few chopped toppings and you
have a good meal.

I have found that if you shop for "white cheddar" you are more likely to come
up with a good "real" cheese,-- since even the
"good" yellow-colored cheeses can be suspect. Just my 2-cents.

I heard long ago that to differentiate between US and Canadian
Cheddar, the US' was colored yellow. In our local Kona COSTCO, one
can buy a "more premium" block of Tillamook white cheddar which has
apparently been aged longer. It is white and it is excellent and cost
a couple dollars more that the "normal yellow" cheddar.

grate a cup of cheddar cheese, get a jar of relish, chop up a vidalia
onion and stir together with a can of tuna (chunk light not the high
mercury containing albacore) and it's heaven on earth! Make a sandwich
with two pieces of toasted bread. Oh, and don't forget to wash it down
with an ice cold Coke!

Bologna! Vermont aged cheddar blows away any Canadian crap by eons!!

BTW, care to send me a sample of your Kona? Is it a blend of Kona, or
the true blue McCoy? I'll pay for the shipping. I've been trying to
rekindle my affair with whole bean quality coffee. Currently an expresso
and fine tea drinker.

Why on God's earth would a business not want to promote itself by not
sending samples of their product???

If you want customers for life, give them a piece of your fine products.
Unless you just want to cater to first buyers for certain reasons...

Specialteas.com sends samples with every order. I'm a loyal customer and
have not wanted to delve into any other seller.

Perhaps I'm missing something here?

Because we are a very small business and sell out of our stuff each
year. We have a group of dedicated customers. In business nothing is
free. That tea company is making you pay for its samples somewhere
along the line.

Yes it is, if I don't like the product, it was free. If I did, they win
my loyalty.

Anyway, I never (unless I can't help it,) buy without first trying out.

Thanks for the info.

Yes it is, if I don't like the product, it was free. If I did, they win
my loyalty.

Anyway, I never (unless I can't help it,) buy without first trying out.

Thanks for the info.

Do you really think that you gain life long customers by giving them free
stuff? Brand loyalty can make a big difference in a large market where a
significant market share can reap big profits. The big companies give out
some samples to get their name out, not necessarily the product. A sad fact
of life is that customers who are easily bought with freebies will switch to
anyone else who offers freebies. Lots of companies have coupons to get
people to try their product, but a lot of the people who use those coupons
are the coupons shoppers who only buy what they have coupons for.

Would you still buy their other products to get the freebies if the product
was crap? I once got a load of freebies after a letter of complaint to a
company about one of their products that I had bought. The free stuff was as
bad as the thing I complained about. Another complaint letter earned me
some coupons for free products which I tried. I did buy some more of their
products, but to tell you the truth, I haven't bought any of their stuff in
years.

When the wine industry took off here a few decades ago they all had sample
rooms where you could try their wines. It was a great way to buy wines
because it took a lot of the guess work out of wine shopping. It worked for
them for a while. They demonstrated that they had good products. The problem
was that wine sampling became too popular and it was common for people to
come this way and go from winery to winery for free samples. It was a great
way to spend the day and became so popular that bus companies started wine
tours. There are no free wine samples any more. Not only do they charge
for the samples, but some of the wineries have made a pretty lucrative
business of selling samples. With the prices they charge for a small sample,
it is cheaper to go to a bar and order a glass of the same thing.
