Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Has anyone had Tuno? I ordered some the other day from a vegan store, and am wondering what it's like... Cathrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Tuno is tasty. It resembles tuna, as well as I can remember after more than 37 years. It's good prepared as tuno salad with mayo and pickle; and it's good prepared like salmon croquets. .... Be kind. Be of good cheer.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Oops! I missed the question. I use the frozen Tuno (love to make " crab " cakes with it!). I once bought some of the canned Tuno, and I thought it was awful. One note: Tuno is really, really salty, so omit or cut down the salt in your recipe if you're using it.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Sherry in Oregon Hi I too am in Oregon where did you get the Tuno? I am thinking Wild Oats would carry it? That is the only store I have I am probably on the other side of the mountains from ya. Linda in Central Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hi Linda, I live near Eugene, and I get my Tuno in Springfield at Wynant's Family Health Foods Address: 1859 Pioneer Pkwy E, Springfield, OR 97477 Phone: (541) 746-4251 I'm guessing you live somewhere in the Bend area, so maybe you come here on occasion. If I were you, I'd call them before you come, if you do, and make sure they have several on hand that they will save for you. They also carry Worthington Sea " Skallops, " which I like to do a shake-and-bake thing with. You might also try contacting your local natural food store to see if they will special order it for you. Or you could ask your local Seventh Day Adventist group, if you have one, and see if they have some sort of group buy or cooperative. Those foods are very popular with many Adventists. If you do come over the Cascades sometime, we could meet for a vegetarian or vegan lunch! There are lots of great restaurants in Eugene offering both. Sherry P.S. Wild Oats in Eugene -- both stores are gone now, but we're due to get a Whole Food Market -- a huge one -- in downtown Eugene in 2007.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I would love to move to Eugene! It's such a pretty place and so vegan friendly. I love the morning glory cafe!

Since the Seahawks won, I'm in a pretty good mood right now. Since people are on both sides of Tuno, you could just bring a cooler next time you go to your painting class and buy just one to see whether you like it. (That way, you could also stop by Trader Joe's and load up on their fantastic frozen vegan meatballs, too ;-)). Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 (That way, you could also stop by Trader Joe's and load up on their fantastic frozen vegan meatballs, too ;-)). I have never been to a Trader Joes I would love to go though they sound good I hope you enjoy your Whole food Market that would be terrific. We have a very small natural foods store in REdmond but they are more for the vitamins, etc not so much the food end of it. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I forgot about the frozen Tuno; it is better than the canned version. Many of the Worhington canned meat substitutes have frozen versions, either as slices or big or small frozen balogna shaped things. All the frozen things are better than the canned. Wham and smoked turkey are probably the best meat substitutes made, I think. The canned Tuno may not be universally loved, but it isn't universally hated either. I think it's worth trying as tuno salad or something. .... Be kind. Be of good cheer. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
