  This is good and tasty - I prefer my own recipe, which I've made for years, using a mixture of mayo and tomato ketchup mixed with tuna and grated cheese, with or without onion.

  My favourite sandwich! I also added finely diced red pepper and a tablespoon of chopped shallot, lightly sauteed in olive oil. Hmmmmm.

  Good bread is a main key to this. Good sturdy whole grain. Like to use mustard in the mayo and will be trying allesandras idea of the red pepper. To make a meal we have it with a bowl of tomato soup. Great on a cold day.
