Tuna and bacon - yay or nay?


There is a breakfast item on this menu in front of me which is an open top bagel with tuna mayo and fried bacon.

Anyone ever tried one? Should I?

reply

It sounds really weird
I say go for it!
#YOLO
(im not sure if i did that # right...i see the kids doing it:/)

reply

Well I went for it and it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'd rather have either than both but it was palatable ☺️

reply

I respect that...some foods seem weird but what the hell right?
Im all on the weird food train ( but not those fried bugs or jellyfish soup dishes from Asia...sorry)

reply

I've done the bugs and other questionable proteins over the years, just a matter of getting into it and regretting it later 😉

reply

Its homemade bacon?

reply

I doubt it.

reply

Then no,looks weird in words,i don't want to see in it reality.

reply

I think that tuna and anchovie filets sounds better. Was the bagel buttered? And it should be clear that I was addressing the OP, and not you. It's almost never about you, you self-centered little dickwipe.

reply

Don't know.It's not my recipe.

reply

Uh, "Alice"? I would never, ever, speak to you, so please NEVER think that you need to answer any of my posts. Ever.

reply

It was a Cragel (Croissant/bagel hybrid)

There some red onion, tuna, mayo, bacon and melted cheese on it, two elements which were pretty well stacked 😎

reply

Now that sounds interesting.

reply

Seems like they would be fine together. I wonder about lox and bacon too, hmm.

reply

I respect my smoked salmon too much to mess with it but it could work with cured bacon perhaps.

reply


Nay. I wouldn't if I were you.

On the other hand, it was a brave man (or woman) who first ate a raw oyster. He/she was probably also VERY hungry.


😎

reply

I can't imagine not having Tobasco with an oyster. They must have been hungry 😋

reply


Are you sure they didn't have Tobasco?


😎

reply

It's possible that the first oyster ever eaten was in Latin America but not likely Cin2. I'm guessing it was probably Thurso.

reply


Is that Thurso, Scotland, Quebec or Ontario?


😎

reply

The original and the best.

Scotland ☺️

reply


I LOVE Scotland! I visited there and Ireland in 2015. It's a beautiful and fascinating country. I even tried haggis.


😎

reply

Did you catch your own haggis?

reply


Yes I did. I tracked down one of the cheeky buggers, and shot him with an arrow. I made sure it was in season. Ah, a great burly beast he was, but I got the best of him!


😎

reply

They taste better if they've fought well 😊

reply


Aye! And mine put up a devil of a fight!

Firstly bagels,yuk,horribly doughy,stale feeling nonsense.May as well eat a couple of bits of 3 day old bap.
Then nay to tuna plus bacon.
I like tuna,smoked cheese and black olives but not on a bagel,nowhere near a bagel.I'd rather day Tesco everyday value white sliced.

reply

I'm not a begal person normally Dazed but this place gave me bagel chips and dip last night for free with my beer and so I thought I'd give them a go.

It wasn't as malted as I remember bagels being and was also half croissant which helped a bit.

I get that white brown bread when I'm in Blighty 🙂

reply

50/50?

I'm quite lucky with bread as both my son and son in law work in an artisanal bakery specialising in sourdough.Sometimes though only white bread will do,like for a bacon butty.

reply

It has bacon.

END OF STORY!

reply

I don't know. I wouldn't immediately say no. I have had grilled fish wrapped in slices of bacon.

reply

I've had haddock and chorizo before and so don't know why I am so admonished but there it is. For some reason tuna and bacon just weirded me out.

I remember the first time I heard of tuna and cheese - hard now to think that also creeper me out.

reply

Yeah, I admit that seemed weird to me as well. But then I had a tuna melt sandwich and it actually tasted good.

reply

I often enjoy a chunk-white tuna melt sandwich, with Provolone, tomatoes and, yes, bacon, either as a whole wheat wrap or a sub. Adding the melted cheese provides a dragoman between the bacon portion and the fish portion. The restaurant where I get this entree uses thick, CHEWY, slices of bacon, not wimpy, crispy bacon that turns into shards with each bite. I dislike bacon shrapnel.

reply

Oh no, I love "bacon shrapnel". The crispier, the better. But thick, chewy slices are better for sandwiches.

reply

You're right. I should have qualified my statement thus: "I dislike bacon shrapnel on a sandwich." Thick, chewy bacon is too limp to let me dunk it into the yoke of a fried egg. And now you know what a slob I am!

reply

A friend of mine swears by apple pie with a slice of melted cheddar cheese on it, but I haven't wanted to try it yet.

reply

It does sound mad Spanners but I haven't tried it and so perhaps it is as nice as tuna and cheese 🤷‍♂️

reply

I like tuna and love bacon, so please don't ruin my bacon with tuna! Bagel? Yuck.
