Sam Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 It took over a year to work up my courage since he first recommended it. And i have a reputation for eating anything that doesn't eat me first. (a few meals have tried) I know it sounds horrible, but actually, it's quite good! I decided to do the high protien, limited carbs, thing back in December. so, I was examining my lunch bucket contents the other day at work. And I realized everything was there. Then poof, this little Kyle looking angel appeared over my right shoulder. "Try it Sam, it'll be good for you!". Nah, I never listen to little angel voices...... Then a little red-faced Kyle with horns popped up over my left shoulder, " You wanna be fat and out of shape the rest of your life? Try it, you WIMP! " Thanks Kyle! I'm hooked!

Run n Gun Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I've been eating mustard on my tuna (mixed with mayonnaise) sandwiches for years... but peanut butter, uh I don't think so. Thanks all the same. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George D Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I've been eating mustard on my tuna (mixed with mayonnaise) sandwiches for years We are talking sandwiches, right?? or straight out of the mixing bowl?? On sandwiches my tuna is usually accompanied by vinegar, plenty of onion and parsley. Mustard I can imagine (Hot English, French, American???) but Peanut Butter ? (surely not crunchy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 OK, I'm too tired (lazy) to do a proper search. Flex, what is the exact receipe? Does anybody have the 'Fluffernutter' receipe? Anybody tried grape jelly on your fishsticks (ok processed vaguely fishlike substance?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Yowza! Even sounds worse than peanutbutter and onion sandwich, which is better than it sounds. Travis F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Ok...back in Junior High...Jim (picture "little jonnie" from everybody's jokes) used to mess with our math teacher. She was afraid to eat the apples he would bring her. One day in class, for effect, he mentioned peanut butter and mustard sandwiches. Tried them. Not bad. So...later, when I was into weight-training in a big way...I needed good sources of protein. I never liked tuna very much. Noticed that people that ate tuna all the time mixed it with stuff. Mayo was out. Mustard was in. Mustard...hmmm...might as well throw in some peanutbutter. Out of the bowl is the first choice (for you on the "Adkins-type" diets). In a sandwich, or on a cracker is fine too. Recipe = proportion to taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Tuna, peanut butter and mustard ?????????? Quick. Somebody get me a bucket and a blanket. Flex, sorry dude, but you are one sick puppy. Yeccccchhhhh. Tuna and peanut butter ??? And you damn Yankees make fun of Australians for eating Vegemite, a truly wholesome and nourishing topping. Tuna and peanut butter ??? Damn.

benos Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Vegemite is absolutely the worst thing I've ever tasted. We brought some back from Australia and offered 10 bucks to this guy who literally could and would eat anything. He couldn't choke the whole "portion" down. The look on his face was awesome. Flex, Could you at least get me started - Equal parts tuna and PB and a tablespoon of mustard, twice as much PB as tuna??? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 - Can of tuna...water-type, not oil...drained and rinsed - One rounded tablespoon of peanutbutter - generous "covering" of mustard - mix in a cereal sized bowl with a metal, 4 tine (long variety) fork.

EricW Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 OK Flex, What *kind* of mustard are we talking about? Dijon, yellow French's type, other....? I must be weird. I *like* tuna. I eat it straight out of the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 French's. The long-tined fork is important to those that what to put the 'recipe' on bread or cracker. Let's you pack it on real well and make those neat little grid lines. (texture is important, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Thanks Flex. Yea, I was wondering about the mustard thing as well, because if Boar's Head mustard is not your favorite, then we can't be friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Ya know...this isn't nearly as far fetched as you might think. Notice all the peanut sauces on stuff in swanky eateries these days? Yeah, and a LOT of those start out as peanut butter. One of those dirty little secrets that they don't want you to know. In a commercial kitchen time is money and if they can buy peanut sauce base (peanut butter) and save 10 minutes of prep work they will do it. I recently enjoyed a nice thick grilled tuna steak with a peanut sauce at a conference banquet. I asked the master chef/hostess, who was seated at my table, about the sauce and the main ingredient was Adam's Natural peanut butter. It also had dried mustard and ginger in the mix. It was awesome! No, she didn't give me the whole recipe. Now, savoring a nice tuna steak with a peanut/mustard/ginger sauce and choking down canned tuna are two different worlds, I will grant you that. For "during the match nutrition" I think I will stick with Power Bars. Maybe the next flavor will be Tuna/Peanut Butter/Mustard. Nawwwwwww.....

Flexmoney Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I like any and all types of mustard. I have even tried making my own a time or two. I especially like some of the hot-pepper mustard taht comes out of people's kitchens down home. Ii always try to bum a mason jar or two whenever I can.

George D Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I must be weird. I *like* tuna. I eat it straight out of the can. I must be weird too. Some malt vinegar in the can, eat it straight out of the can with some raw onion rings. YUMM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Now if you guys (and gals) want some GREAT, ass-kickin' tuna salad, try it MY way. Drain oil off of a can of tuna (packed in oil). Cut up sweet pickles, dice up celery, chop up some white onion, add about half a teaspoon of yellow mustard, a little fresh-cracked pepper, and lots of Miracle whip. Mix it all together, and eat immediately (before all the flavors migrate together). I like it on Saltine crackers. By the way.......... NO PEANUT BUTTER in it. I love peanut butter, but NOT with my tuna Jeffro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Tuna is best eaten fresh and raw, with some combination of soy sauce, wasabi (WASAAAAABI!), ginger, and/or rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Love Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Ahhh... Talk of tuna, right out of the can, brings back memories of 15 years ago when I was in shape and ate lean. Some old favorites globbed on top of Starkist (in spring water) were K.C. Masterpiece bbq sauce, pickle relish, & cider vinegar (individually, not necessarily all at once). The time it took to get the lid off the can, drain it, and pour this stuff on top in the can was about all the patience I had for any sort of cooking. For breakfast, I liked tuna sandwiches on toast with nothing but mustard. Used to buy tuna by the case every few weeks. Scarfed about 6 cans a day. An exotic dessert at night might be crunchy peanut butter on apples. If they had 50 pound sacks of bachelor food at Sam's club, I would have put it in one of those multi-day feeders by the front door just for convenience.
