Tuna Sandwich

So I was conversing with a friend of mine today and he brought up the term Pan bagnat. Not being French myself nor interested in anything remotely French, I had to inquire as to its meaning. Turns out it is a fucking tuna sandwich. Then I realized that if you called it by a stupid French name, chicks would go wild over it. So here is your fancy pants Pan bagnat. Let's Begin:
Mix two cans of tuna (fresh is better but I know you will never be that urbane), some garlic, some mayo, some red onion, and some EVOO. Just eyeball it and don't get all over-zealous on me. Everyone knows the old rule: you can always put more in but you can't take it out.

If you have a refined palate, you may dot the bread with spiced anchovy relish. If you are totally lame skip this step.
Put your tuna shit on a small roll thing. Wrap it in saran wrap and place a weighted plate on top of it for a while. Do not attempt to sit on the sandwich, fatty.
Slice up some tomato and wash some lettuce. Remove sandwich from saran wrap, genius. Place tomato and lettuce inside of it. Don't forget to use the French name for this when serving. Don't be an idiot and accidentally call it what it is: a fucking tuna sandwich. Eat it.

I believe you meant to say "I was conversating with a friend". Also, PLEASE for the love of god do not say EVOO. Ugh.

Cooking Asshole said...

You know as well as I do that "conversating" is not a word and it pisses me off when people use it. EVOO on the other hand...

I'm with Heather on the EVOO. Have you morphed into Rachel Ray?

Cooking Asshole said...

I do have the big orange book...

Heather said...

And if you start saying "yummo" I am going to boycott this site...there are no excuses for such language.

Cooking Asshole said...

you couldn't boycott me if you tried.

Heather said...

Try me.

Cooking Asshole said...

Doll said...

Cooking Asshole said...

Who is Rachel?

Doll said...

Rachel Ray is a regular reader...she stops by here all the time for new ideas. Too bad I don't use 4lbs of meat for every dish.

Doll said...

oh I know. She mentioned you when I met her in New Orleans.
