    Oh god, a tuna thread, my worst nightmare!!! I read the posts just to torture myself. Just the mere sight of tuna sends me rushing to the bathroom to want to vomit. Strange eh? And no-one in work with a tuna sandwich (oh god I'm feeling really ill now) is allowed within 40 feet of me.

    However, I like to get DH to make tuna dishes for DS so I buy whatever make I can find in springwater. Although I made the mistake of defrosting such a dish for bubbs when DH was at work so I had to feed it to him. :eek: :eek: Barfffff. I had to try and do it looking away and with my hand over my mouth and nose.

    And I hate how some people pronounce tuna as "chewna". Grrrrr

    I think you've mistaken this for the 'Things that make me go Grrrrr' thread in the Arms!!

    I know what you mean, though, DS loves tuna (not 'chewna'!!) with a passion and I'm so delighted now he's old enough to open the nasty tins himself! :D

    To the OP - sorry to digress from your question. DS is partial to Nixe tuna steaks from Lidl.

    I always look to see where they are a product of. If it's Thailand I give them a wide berth.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Because DS loves it I buy John West flakes or steaks - whichever is on offer, made the mistake of trying Somerfields value once to be presented with cat food mush swimming in some sort of liquid - no offence to any furbabies - tthe dog welcomed it with some rice !

    Oh but always have trouble opening the multipacks that are sealed in the plastic !

    As far as baked beans go highly recommend Somerfields own, compared to the tesco strange white looking effort.

    Another springwater fan here.

    But also, I check that it's been line-caught. If not, it's been fished using nets and many dolphins are caught and killed this way :(

    Sorry ... I should be posting on the ethical board ....
