Advantages: Good tuna

Disadvantages: More expensive than tesco tuna

I bought a tin of these in the shop round the corner the other day.

Tuna is very rich in protein and low in fat and can be eaten in salads, with potatoes (I am not able to prepare jacket potatoes properly, but I can mash potatoes) or on its own.

Opening the tin (which by the way is made of recyclable material) was easy, although the lid required a bit of help with a knife to detach completely, but i think it is more due to the poor lid opener we are left at home at the moment.

The tuna looked quite nice inside, I took off the brine (there is 185 gramms in each tin, but only 130 are of tuna) and poured the tuna into a plate.

I had prepared some mashed potatoes and being home alone, this would be my princely dinner. I added a bit of olive oil on the tuna and few drops of lemon juice and I was ready to go.

I have tried both the tuna from Tesco and the one from Somerfields and I must admit that this tuna may taste a bit better although clealry more expensive.

Tuna in general is something I like, so I may be a bit biased, but I enjoyed my dinner.Surely if you need to have a good dinner which brings you a good level of proteins and does not take too much time, tuna is probably one if not the best way to do so.

Once opened the tin is not meant to be stored or kept open for more than one day, but the serving is just enough for one person anyway.I had finished cucumbers, but otherwise I like tuna with pickled cucumbers too, something I started to eat in UK, since in Europe we do not do it.

I think that tuna required a sprinkle of lemon juice too, and if you like olive oil, it makes it a bit less dry.

Overall, if you can afford to pay double what the Tesco equivalent would cost you, why not treating you like a Prince?

Summary: Good tuna
