Yes, I had tuna lastnight, well kind-of. I made 8 tunaballs, but had some guest for dinner, and everyone liked, so seconds were given, and like any Italian mom, I was happy to see eveyone eat and enjoy, so I went without...When I tell people after they are done eating that the whole meal came from ingredients from a convenience store the reaction is always disbelief, but I think in time people will believe!! Since I stocked up on Tuna which was on sale, I made a nice tuna sandwhich for lunch. Although I like a basic tuna salad sandwhich once in a while,
I like to funk it up a bit, so today I made it with pinapple to give the tuna so contrast. I truly DREAD cutting pinapple. It is so laborsome and I get lazy, so I dont cut close to the skin and I lose so much fruit which is a waste of nurtrients and money. Also, sometimes the pinapple isnt sweet and I dont particularly like unsweet pinapple....canned is always uniform and sweet, and other then opening the can and draining and rinsing, there is not much work involved. Pinapple gives the right balance of sweet with the tuna and nutrients that compliment the nutrients found in tunafish. Pinapple contains high contents of calcium, fiber, potassium and vitamin C. Vitamin C is important because it is an antioxident that our body needs.
