I don’t drain tuna because I’m a disgusting person who likes to eat gross stuff

Having developed an allergy to tuna in my early twenties it remains no more than a fond memory . . .

Introduced to me by my dad, cold tuna noodle casserole topped with Italian Style Salad Dressing, is one of the greatest leftover meals known to man.

My tuna salad is much like my mom's, but with a few refinements. I prefer solid white albacore, but will use chunk light; I like to mix packed in water with packed in oil. It's well drained. I make the salad with celery, finely chopped onion, dill relish, and mayo. Salt and pepper. No Miracle Whip - that stuff is gross.

Tuna salad and egg salad are two distinctly separate entities in my world. Egg salad doesn't have tuna in it and tuna salad doesn't have egg in it. That's just how I roll...

I like chili peppers but I never had one with a tuna sandwich...I'm just a pickle(bread n butter)and chips guy when it comes to that sandwich. I will add that to my bucket list.

Give it a shot. Like @Mr Beardsley said, chili peppers make everything better. I like jalapeno or serrano peppers with nearly every meal. Just enough heat and loads of flavor. Bread n butter chips are a favorite of mine too.

Like @Wildcat I prefer the sliced peperoncini for sandwiches and salads myself.

@Tsal and @Kevin Keith you guys should try the Famous Dave's devils spit pickle chips. Sweet but have a decent kick.

I'm a big fan of fresh jalapeno slices with fish. Especially on the rare occasion that I have sushi. That bit of spice opens up the flavors big time
