But I tried it again later, and have loved it ever since. It is a little too fishy, I have had a similar tuna at Sidney's Cafe in Fullerton that tasted more like albacore. I hope there is another veggie tuna that is distributed. Maybe the name "tuno" was not the best name, but I think it's a cute name.Ted Huntingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510184761608480359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-22332225190766400742007-04-18T09:24:00.000-07:002007-04-18T09:24:00.000-07:00There is a way better alternative.

Instead, I've found this really great chickpea salad recipie that tastes exactly like tuna, even to my non-vegan mom.<BR/><BR/>Drain one can of chickpeas, and mash into smaller pieces. (I use this handy chopper my mom bought from Pampered Chef -- works wonders). Chop up some celery, and you can also add grapes to taste, if you'd like. Mix everything up, add spicy brown mustard to taste and a couple spoonfuls of veganaise. It's one of my favorite vegan recipes and has served faithfully in many a sack lunch. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022950478127649637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1150227738752203922006-06-13T12:42:00.000-07:002006-06-13T12:42:00.000-07:00Tuno is no good, but tempeh works instead.

I grinned when I read what Mike at the health food store had to say! I can just picture him saying it, too! He was a former student of mine at KHS where I was the home ec teacher. As far as I can tell, he hasn't tried very many of the veg*n foods. . .as he is still quite happy with the carn*v kind! I'm always telling clerks at that store about the foods they sell. Usually they haven't tried them and they as me how I fix them! Sounds like they do that to you too. Very funny! But, I love the store. . .great people. Enjoy an awesome, sunny day!

I use the recipe in Vegan Planet and would eat it for lunch every day if I could. I grind up one can of chickpeas in the food processor and add chopped green onions and celery. Then I stir in veganaise, a little salt and pepper and eat. The recipe calls for a little kelp powder to make it taste fishy but I prefer it without. My dad likes to add a little curry powder.Copy Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152273437083075422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1138247954806888312006-01-25T19:59:00.000-08:002006-01-25T19:59:00.000-08:00Whenever my b/f I crave a chicken salad type dish,...Whenever my b/f I crave a chicken salad type dish, we buy VEAT.<BR/><BR/>It's frozen, and all vegan, comes in chunks or crumbles and it's AWESOME.

Make sure to mash up the tuno really well with a fork so there aren't any chunky pieces. Or very few, at least. Also, nix the capers and instead put in garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper, and finely sliced celery if you wish, along with veganaise.
