Tuna is a great food.
I get that it is an acquired taste, and some of my friends gag when I get my tuna dishes out.
I think it all started with my father.
His famous and most eaten dish right through my childhood was Tuna based.
Lettuce, Tomato, maybe some Carrot, a LOT of low fat Italian Dressing, two cans of Tuna, some sliced cheese...
all topped with Tomato Sauce (Ketchup for you Americans).
Disgusting eh.
It really does stink the kitchen out.
And no, I'm not going to add it to my list of recommended recipes.
What I am trying to get at is, I was bought up with Tuna around my house, and I love it.
I'm an athlete, and I live alone in a foreign country and I'll be honest, my cooking skills are minimal.
I love Tuna on Rice, with a bit of Sweet Chili sauce, I love it in Salads (minus the Tomato Sauce), I love Tuna bakes (even if I have safety issues with hot ovens) and I love Tuna on top of Veggies (with a bit of Pasta Sauce and Cheese).

Tuna is undoubtedly the cheapest source of meat protein you will find, and if you are trying to up your protein intake it is incredibly important to the diet plan.
You can get tuna with different flavors in it if you do not like the raw taste.
