Tuna and Spaghetti Together
Have you ever made, then eaten Tuna Spaghetti?
I love to cook, and realize these two items do not go together well at all. Still, I must admit, I've done it.......and I did it again the other day just for the hell of it. So sue me. I actually kind of like it and it makes the perfect energy dish before playing a sport (key: portion control).
Anyone else ever mix these items together? Anyone else have other odd food mixes they enjoy?

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
I would have voted Hell No, but I've cooked some pretty whacked out dishes when I was whacked out. Not tuna spaghetti whacked out, but it's always possible.

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
I voted Hell No. Partially because I don't know how to cook Tuna, and partially because I don't like fish in general.

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
Sorry, EJ.
Shit. That doesn't rhyme.
I've enjoyed mixing breakfast cereals for as long as I can remember. Still do. I eat regular Cheerios that are sweetened by honey-nut Cheerios.
Someone else here, can't remember who, mentioned french fries with a chocolate shake as a dipping sauce. I thought I was the only freak on the planet, that once had an issue with this weirdness.

I have an odd combination or two that I really like, though. One of them is a cracker (of your choice...I usually go with classic Triscuit or Ritz) with a smear of peanut butter, then a dollop of horseradish (to taste) on top of that.
Surprisingly delicious.

BTW, I invented the Peanut Butter and Jelly Samwitch. I've been looking for the royalties for over 45 years.
Oh well. I have heard of the Peanut Butter and salami samwitch, yet have never tried one and never want to!

That actually sounds good to me and I shall most certainly try it. My dad used to eat peanut butter and sandwich relish sandwiches. Though thin as a toothpick, he was the Elvis of odd food creation.
Come to think of it, almost anything is good on peanut butter...........except tuna........and perhaps urine.

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
At first I thought this sounded like an odd combination..... but then I considered substituting tuna for clams. A combination of grilled tuna and medium or wide fettuccine... spinach fettuccine perhaps... might be good with a white sauce such as a Parmesan or Asiago Veccho sauce. What do you think?EarlJam wrote:Have you ever made, then eaten Tuna Spaghetti?

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
I was contemplating the same concept..... .... but, I have to say it might be feasible on a bed of noodles (aka spaghetti). I think I've mixed Tuna with Mac n' cheese which is close and I seem to recall that was OK, but it was out of a CAN. If I have a fresh Tuna steak, that baby is going on the grill and I'll be fixing some veggies and rice with it!!!!!Devil in the Blue Dress wrote:At first I thought this sounded like an odd combination..... but then I considered substituting tuna for clams.

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
I do tuna and Mac...but there is a huge difference between that and and elegant dish like good spaghetti in a red sauce. We'll send you down to DitBD's tent as the CTN taster.cl15876 wrote: I was contemplating the same concept..... .... but, I have to say it might be feasible on a bed of noodles (aka spaghetti).

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
The flavanistic thing about clams and pasta is the largely the sauce. Perhaps the white sauce would indeed make this a dish to be relished by the masses. I shall experiment (I think).Devil in the Blue Dress wrote:At first I thought this sounded like an odd combination..... but then I considered substituting tuna for clams.

I can't even imagine cooking with it.

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
You left out the option for, "Yes, I have created this entree, but did not enjoy it."
Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
take a can of tuna (drained) and add a dash of salt and pepper......some chopped onion and bell pepper....about a tablespoon of flour.....and an egg. Mix well and shape into patties.......fry in a small amount of oil (not deep frying....just a little in the pan to keep em from sticking) till crispy on both sides
my mom used to make these ALL the time when i was a kid and i still love em......YUM
OR you can do canned mackerel on crackers.... with hot sauce. Dayum good!

Re: Tuna and Spaghetti Together
I make a mix of canned Albacore that is folded into blended mayo, brown mustard, Worchestershire and dry Cajun blended spices.
Lightly toast the insides of a split whole wheat sub roll.
Lay mix on roll and top with 3 or 4 slices of bacon.
Don't mix with others socially for the next 2 hours.
