In DC, visit The Breadline at 1751 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. The menu describes their sandwich as "Tuna Salad:
On olive bread, with the flavors of Morocco."
Don't ask for any substitutions, unless you want to feel the wrath of "crusty" Mark Furstenberg, the guy who introduced high-quality traditional breads to Washington, DC when he started Marvelous Market all those years ago.

A Long Long Time Ago in a Hotel Far Far Away
1,074,373,283 (+- 7,000 ) seconds ago (as of this post) Mrs OHNO and I were married. After all the wedding activities we managed to elude the cars following us and arrived at our "secret hotel". It was late and we both were a tad hungry so we ordered sandwiches from room service. I had chicken salad and she had a tuna salad sandwich, since the menu was pretty limited. We still joke about her being tuna and me being chicken 
The next day we flew off to D'Land and had a wonderful honeymoon.

My Favorite Tuna Sandwich
Chunk white tuna packed in water, drained
A small dollop of mayo (not Miracle Whip)
Finely chopped dill pickle
Finely chopped red onion
Pepper to taste
All served on freshly toasted wheat bread
I am now getting hungry again.

my mom makes it with hardboiled eggs, water packed "regular" tuna, chopped celery, a bit of relish, and hellman's mayo. when she makes it, we eat it generally on some lettuce and tomato. it's quite good, and the best part is that she hardboils a few extra eggs and puts those on the side of my plate!
i make it with water packed albacore tuna (drained of course), hardboiled eggs, chopped celery, green onions, a bit of chopped red onion and lots of black pepper. i don't always use mayonnaise - if i do, only enough to bind it together. i'll eat mine as or as a tuna melt...mmm...now i want it!
i love this thread

In New York City, you must go to Eisenbergs on 5th Ave between 22 and 23 street. It's an old fashioned coffee shop. Imagine, if you will, a long counter running the length of the restaurant, maybe 30' (10 meters). There are a few 2 person tables on the side. This is circa 1950.
According to NY Magazine, they make the best tuna fish in New York City. I asked the counterman the secret of said wonderful tuna and you know what he said, they blend it.
They give a very generous sandwich. I believe I sent Magic111 there a while back.
They still make 'real' cherry cokes. They use syrup.

When Jerrie makes tuna at home she is likely to put anything into it including the kitchen sink. Dried cranberries, walnuts, sweet corn kernels, onion, celery, pickles are a few of the ingredients that she has added in the past.

I also love it with chopped carrots and NO onions!
I have put mayo on my hot dogs as oppose to mustard because of that.

Does anyone else eat tuna straight from the can? Is it just a guy thing or are there any ladies out there who will admit to it?
