OT: tuna salad fans, how do you prepare it?

On a related note, has anyone here tried homemade mayo?

Game changer. So so good.

Absolutely; as mentioned earlier, I make some when I know I'll be using it -- mostly during the summer (potato salad season). Extra mustard as jimazee mentioned, I definitely like lemon juice (as opposed to vinegar in commercial mayo), maybe a bit of extra salt. If my kid didn't hate potatoes, I'd make some now and have potato salad tomorrow. Actually, maybe I'll have some on Friday to go with the Memphis barbecue.

Here's a new take and it is quite tasty: mayo (Hellmans, of course), dried cranberries and chopped fresh dill.

Well...I'm gonna fall on my sword. I waited to see if anyone commented or called me on it but apparently it isn't going to happen. The truth is I have never (knowingly) tasted Cains mayo. My comments above were meant to be about Duke's Mayo which I (finally) discovered about 10(?) years ago up here in the Northeast.

Yesterday I realized I'd recommended Cains when I meant Duke's...but when I posted, I didn't actually go to the fridge and read the label. Why would I have to?

I did just search (duckduckgo.com that is) to verify if there is a Cains mayo. There sure is. (Heck Cains may be great...I think I'll try it.)

Old age is hell...sometimes. UH, go Huskies, eat tuna salad!!

Costco Kirkland White Tuna
Hellmans
Sweet Pickle Relish
Red Onions
Granny Smith Apples
Celery

Sometimes I substitute cranberries for the apples. So YUMMY!

Mayo, black pepper, sweet relish and tuna fish. Then serve on toast with a bowl of hot tomato soup. MMMM.

Thanks Clif! This is just the kind of thread we need. Too much gloom and doom. Now let's talk Spam.

On the computer or in the can? I remember that on my first day at Parris Island they served Spam at the chow hall for breakfast and when I went outside afterward there were about five guys bent over and it wasn't with laughter.

With chicken instead.

WOOF 101
"First to say Miracle Whip ruins everything shows a lack of taste. That's like saying lobster ruins the taste of butter"

Exactly. No such thing as a good tuna sandwich without a half a jar or so of Miracle Whip. And that is why they call it a Miracle. .

With chicken instead.

It's a miracle people can eat that stuff and keep it down.
