In keeping with my resolution to do something I'm not good at every year (so I don't feel like a hypocrite when I tell my students to do whatever _they're_ not good at) I've started following the fitness thread, working out and lifting weights and eating like an amateur bodybuilder.
The food is absolutely disgusting but it lends me an air of moral superiority when I tell my students to shut up and memorise their spelling list. Not to mention the curl of my lips from the taste of the low fat milk (I abhore milk) I force myself to drink has a menacing effect on children below the age of 12.
The tinned tuna is the worst, though. Since protein builds muscle and tinned tuna is a cheap source of protein, I have to eat at least 3 tins a week. It's dry (ironic, since it's packed in water), tasteless (ironic, since it's preserved with salt) and really feels like I'm eating soggy cardboard.
I think tuna, knowing that they are the living, swimming equivalent of a protein shake, have cunningly evolved to taste like shit when cooked and canned. But it seems quite vindictive to inflict suffering on the guy who _didn't_ kill them _after_ they're dead.
The only kind of tuna I love is maguro sashimi/sushi, but it's so devilishly expensive. I can't wait to cover enough moral high ground so I can go back to being a geek. But until then...

here's what you do...
toast some bread, prepare the tuna (ie. with mayo/salt/pepper). spread the tuna over the bread and top with cheddar cheese, stick it in an 350 oven, and bake until it looks ready. There you go, tasty tuna.

Tuna salad is a Godsend, despite it giving you tuna breath for the next eighteen hours. Relish, cucumber, and mayonaisse should do it, though it shouldn't really fit in as a staple of a healthy diet.
OH YEAH, what you can do is something called a tuna melt. Cheese, butter, and frying = gold. Put it all in a buttered toasted bread sandwich, and you will feel in heaven, while your arteries are probably headed there as well.
|
I appreciate the suggestions, but the whole idea is to eat healthy and build character, which means no mayo and no butter.
I did try tuna with melted cheese minus the mayo. Not my cup of tea.

spiritofthetuna is gonna have a word with you.

you can get canned boneless skinless pink salmon, its pretty much just as good for you and tastes better

Do you know what ironic means because you used it out of context
|
oh and also, if your one of these really skinny guys who almost never puts on fat then you really dont have to worry about eating too cleanly when your lifting, just make sure you get enough calories and protein

Oh, do tell me how I used it wrongly. The tuna is packed in water and salt but when I put it in my mouth it is dry and tasteless. Is that ironic or is it just surprising?

Wow I think tuna's absolutely delicious. Sometimes I eat it straight out of the can.
Fun and healthy tuna recipe:
One can of tuna, drain the water
Some chopped celery
Salt
Pepper
Cinnamon
Few teaspoons sesame oil.
Combine everything, and serve it on toasted bread. It's delicious!
Wow tuna is wonderful I love eating it

Irony is meant to be related to something dark for example, so and so got shot, how ironic he was extreamly anti guns or like so and so caught swine flu and is really sick, how ironic he told everyone that swine flu was harmless
saying that tuna is dry even though its in water isnt ironic, its weird or strange
btw man ontopic if you mix in salt, pepper and mayo and have it on crackers or in bread its really nice

Ah, no, irony can be related to something dark, but it doesn't have to be. Irony is basically when the opposite of your expectations happen, so that can be something dark or funny or anything, really. Like the Minister for Education says that the country's schools are top notch but sends his kids overseas to study.
If Malcolm Turnbull was forced to resign over his handling of the fake email incident, I would find that very ironic too.
I'm really not sure if I'm allowed to take mayo with ti but I guess a little wouldn't hurt since I'm quite skinny anyway. Thanks for the tip!
