Tuna-Mayo sandwiches?

[shi_koi]

My other half was hungry, but since it's almost 1am, everywhere was shut (I did tell him to pop over to the Co-Op to get some bacon for a bacon sarnie, but he forgot --laughs--), I figured I'd break into my emergency can cupboard and throw something together for him.

Anyway~ He decided that he liked the idea of some tuna-sweetcorn-mayo sandwiches, and I went to go make it. --grin-- I realised he had the ketchup in the living room from earlier and called for him to grab it for me, and he asked why I wanted the ketchup for a tuna-mayo mix.

'Course, that got me thinking, because it probably does sound odd, but this is how my mix goes.

2 cans of tuna to every can of sweetcorn, add in one tablespoon of ketchup to every four heaped spoonfuls of mayo, half a teaspoon of English mustard, two tablespoons of rice mirin, half a tablespoon of paprika, a sprinkling of ground black pepper, a quick shake of worcestershire sauce and mix well.

I don't butter the bread with this mix, because it usually ends up at the perfect consistancy to bond to the bread without going all slidy and messy, while staying moist and tasty. No soggy bread!

Huh. Maybe my quick fixes are pretty weird. Damn. I hate to think what people whould think of my marinades. --cackle--

The tuna pasta salad had me drooling a little bit in my chair XD

The cayenne pepper in the tuna sounds pretty interesting too, I think it's time for some experimentation in the kitchen!

Cayenne pepper is awesome with tuna. --nods-- I usually have a shaker jar of it at the table with the salt and pepper. It's a staple! If I grab a cheap tuna sandwich and it's too bland, I get some cayenne pepper and open the sandwich and sprinkle some inside and it tastes 110% better.

--laughs-- I'm always experimenting, and I'm happy to say I've had very few disasters. The tuna mix experiment was an old one, but it's served me well for almost a decade.
