I treated myself to a tuna melt

with some celery sticks on the side. I might have another one for dinner. Yum!

1. Sounds yummy, Marthe!

Looking at my albacore stssh.

Thx for the idea.

[Marthe48]

2. I seem to lose my appetite this time of year

hard to find anything that tastes good. Hope yours turns out just right

[SheltieLover]

3. Sorry to hear about your appetite.

Do you spice yoir tuna up with banana peppers & green pepper?

[Marthe48]

5. No, onions, garlic, mayo

If I were going to have cold sandwich, I'd have put the celery in the tuna, plus green or black olives.

I put cayenne pepper or pepper flakes on about everything else I eat.

Christmas isn't my favorite time of year. I love my family and I'm always included and participate, but I'm glad when it's over. No worries about my appetite, the cookies are still good in January!

[SheltieLover]

6. Oh yes, onions, garlic & celery are a must. Lol

Tbh, I detest this time of year.

4. I don't think I will lose my appetite unless I'm dead.

That said, I love a good tuna melt. Yum!

7. Yum

An under appreciated delicacy.
A sub shop I frequented in the mid to late seventies (King Submarine, Ithaca, NY.) had a great sandwich called the DMcD. I eventually had the pleasure of meeting the guy the sandwich was named after.

Back to the sandwich. They split a sub roll and covered it with tuna, cheese, hot peppers, with a good smear of mustard. Popped under the broiler until it was crispy along the edges. Somehow the mustard just worked. I don't usually eat mustard on tuna.

The best thing was a good friend of mine worked there and I would get half her employee meal if I went in at the right time. Win-win.

Best regards,

8. I made up a sandwich

I never looked for a recipe. Now I get SheltieLover's comment about peppers. I'll have to try hot peppers the next sandwich.

The sub sounds good. I used a couple slices of bread I baked, and used a skillet like making grilled cheese.

9. Man, that sounds good.

I can't remember the last time I had one.

I loved them as a kid. We used to make ours on English muffins for some reason.

[Marthe48]

10. That would be good

I had a friend who made appetizers called crab crispies. Buttered English muffins, topped with crab dip, Parmesan, broiled a few minutes to heat through, cut each one into 6ths. Really good flavor and texture. I bet a tuna melt on English muffins would be really good!

11. I must not be making them right...

The tuna melts I have made in the past basically consist of tuna salad on toast with maybe some melted cheese. Something tells me I’m not doing the filling right because somehow sweet pickle in the tuna salad just does not taste good with the savory in of the cheese

[Marthe48]

12. If possible. I'd put the pickle on the side

I used a can of tuna, a little bit of mayo, and a little onion. I didn't mind the onion being warm, but I had celery on the side. I'm going to check for a recipe to see how far off I am

13. My Go To For a Quick Meal

I’ve loved tuna melts since I was in college - my first exposure to them. I now make them on bagels - especially pumpernickel bagels - for a little more heft. Just tuna, red onion, and mayo with a slice of Swiss cheese broiled in the toaster oven. And sliced tomato on the side. Sooo simple and tasty.
