Tuna never looks good in an envelope
Basically, this is a ready-made tuna salad. As the package says, “Enjoy in lettuce wraps or straight from the pouch.” The idea of room-temperature rice and beans gave me pause. I’ve always had rice and beans warm. But this was an experiment. I decided to try it their way. I didn’t have any lettuce so I just ate it as is.
Not bad. Quite tasty, in fact. Oh, wait… WHOO! It’s very spicy. Hence the flaming BOLD on the package. I like spicy foods, but this stuff was at my threshold of tolerance. My mouth numbed a little and I was able to continue. I like how the spiciness didn’t overpower the other flavors.

I wondered what it would taste like mixed with mayo, like some other types of tuna salad. That mellowed it a bit. And the bread damped the fire a little more. But yeah, good stuff—if you like tuna. And extreme spiciness. I do. Are the veggies and spices enough to make tuna haters change their mind? Mmmm, who knows?
you really are an adventurer. But I have to admit that I would never be adventurous enough to eat canned tamales because I am much too fond of tamales to have that memory lingering in my mind. Right up there in the nasty category with vienna sausages and canned spinach.

DeleteI'm a tuna lover but a bean and spice hater so, "No, thanks."
ReplyDeleteVienna sausage sliced over green beans and heated then a couple eggs stirred in--a recipe a distant family member once invented when eating from what was available in the pantry and fridge. It became a family staple when I was a kid.
