Cooked tuna (out of the can)is terrible to me....I can't stand the
smell, let alone the taste :P I do like blackened Yellow Fin Tuna, but
only fresh fresh....I have eaten it at resturaunts on the East coast (in
FL and GA) and it was good - ordered it even slightly inland and find it
is TERRIBLE!! (I am NOT a huge fan of fish of any kind - it has to be
really fresh because if it's old at all it has the fishy taste :P)

Do try "Chicken of the Sea" brand.
IMHO it really is the best one and it isn't fishy.

At least not to me......

Lately I've only been buying the gold can of BumbleBee Prime Fillet Solid
White Albacore. After lengthy searches, it's the only one I've found that
doesn't look like debris scraped off the bottom of a ship! It's a nice
solid pieces of tuna that looks like what most tuna used to look like.

I know what you mean... but surprisingly, Starkist Low Sodium tuna is
like that! Looks like solid hunks of fish meat in the can. (better for
the price. <G>😉 It's almost a PITA as I have to really break it up with
a fork prior to using it.

The "Hill Country Fare" generic tuna at our local HEB is pretty solid
too, and slightly cheaper than Starkist, but it tastes "canned". :-P

Thing is, low sodium tuna is not cheap.
I meant to say "they'd better do that for the price".
Runs about $1.29 PER CAN!

Most tuna is around 50 to 60 cents per can.

You're welcome! Finally, my incessant whining about the state

I don't know if it really qualifies, but I did make Monster Chicken
last night (formely Swiss Chicken, out of an old Southern Living
cookbook). I'm not a big fan of condensed cream of anything soup, but
this is easy and edible. In fact, I made it so often last year that
I'm sick of it.

Monster Chicken (prep time something like 6 minutes, I think)

Stick 6 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) in a casserole dish
sprayed w/Pam.
Sprinkle 'em with garlic powder and pepper, then lay 6 slices of
whatever cheese you have handy (we seem to have Muenster around, hence
the name, but the original recipe specified Swiss -- I wouldn't
recommend cheddar or american) over top. Pop open a can of cream of
chicken soup, mix with a little milk, and pour over the whole shebang.
Sprinkle some stuffing mix over the top, cover it, and bake it at 350
for 50 minutes.

It's good with egg noodles, but I threw all of my noodles out this week
b/c we've been invaded by flour moths, so we just dipped bread in the
sauce.

Ah, haute cuisine...

I'm not denying it! But you know how some people think cheese and fish
don't go together? I'm normally not one of them, but the idea of tuna with
the cheese used in mac & cheese sounds... oogy 🙂
