Why, Why, Why, Why, Why???????

[MissMillie]

I made some tuna salad yesterday. We only had chunk light tuna in the house, which my guy doesn't care for.

Last night he decided to have a sandwich anyway.

BUT.... he added about 4 times the amount of mayo to the tuna than I had put in.

!!!!!!!!!!!

Honey, if you want more mayo, PUT IT ON YOUR sandwich.

I have no interest in eating a mayonnaise soup sandwich.

[The Truth Is Here]

1. I wont eat anyones tuna salad except for my mom and wifes

They know exactly the ratio to use. Even one more spoonful of mayo is too much.

4. Egg salad as well

I've even worked at sub shops where they add so much mayo that I won't eat it.

You can always smear some mayo on the bread if you want more mayo. Once you add the mayo to the tuna or eggs, you cannot take it out.

[The Truth Is Here]

16. Yup!

I'm the same way with egg salad..

Both has to be just right for me to eat it.

But I absolutely hate potato salad. I love potatoes in general, but this is the only form of potato that I don't like. At. All.

2. Make a rule - each only eats the tuna salad they make

That how we do it here. My husband likes Miracle Whip while I like mayo. It's nasty if we eat the other's tuna salad.

3. I had a friend that used to do that. She put so much on it ran out the sides of the sandwich.

Actually, it was a bit disgusting. I love mayonnaise too, but in the tuna.

5. I'm with you..

6. Is your guy an Albacore fan?

I like Albacore for tuna mayo sandwiches and salads (with coarse chopped dill pickles, never sweet relish!), and chunk light (in water) for casseroles. For me, it's a texture thing. Cooking tuna softens and blends the flavors, anyway, so why use the more subtle, expensive type.

And just enough mayo, in the mix, to hold things together, in those salads and sandwiches.

7. albacore or chunk white

but it just bugs me that he ruined the tuna salad for me. I certainly won't eat it now, and I made it for myself using stuff he doesn't much care for.

That's just wrong and insensitive.

[Siwsan]

10. That was a bit selfish

Can you open another can and make it more suitable? Leftovers aren't such a bad thing. I'd boil up some macaroni and make a side salad!

[MissMillie]

11. I was thinking about doing that

Instead, I'm going to let him eat it. But I am going to tell him that he ruined it for me.

[The Truth Is Here]

17. Yup, you want the mayo to just bind the tuna.

Not excessively overspread.

8. I'm going to defer to an expert on this one

Paging DU member 2naSalit.

2naSalit, please report to this thread for advice.

9. I like tuna if someone else makes it

Getting the tuna smell on my fingers puts my stomach off. A tuna hoagie from the local pizza place (tuna, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onions) is simply divine. And (as my hips will attest) the more mayo the better.

12. Tuna hoagies - I used to add potato chips when there was too much mayo...wasn't thinking of fat!

[WiffenPoof]

13. For Some Reason...

... the red tuna makes me feel horny. The white tuna, not so much. It remains a mystery.

[TEB]

14. My wife

Will not eat tuna I make as I go overboard on mayonnaise sorry your tuna was ruined but you made me smile.

[MissMillie]

15. My guy doesn't like as much salt as I like

So I've learned to add little or no salt to everything I make. I figure if I want more, I can add it at the table.

He really could have just taken what he was going to eat and added mayo to THAT.

[blueinredohio]

18. I love mayonnaise (hellmans) I could eat it with a spoon.

[MissMillie]

19. Update: he's not so insensitive after all

His intent was to finish the tuna salad, but as it turns out he put so much mayo in it that even he didn't want to eat it.
