Tuna sandwich for breakfast

Inspired by a co-worker's lunch from yesterday, I decided to make a tuna sandwich for breakfast. That's right, breakfast. I have a humongous appetite in the mornings, so it's quite appropriate. Plus I almost always eat something savory, anything on the sweet side just makes me hungrier. I had a big chunk of ciabatta leftover from the weekend that was getting pretty hard. I microwaved it with some wet paper towels wrapped around it. Voila, edible again! Smothered some mayo on the bread, cracked open a can of dolphin safe tuna, spread it on, and doused the bread with tuna juice, you know, to make it softer. I sprinkled it with lots of celery seed, cracked black pepper, and topped it with cucumbers crom last night's salad. Easy and yummy. It was such a big sandwich that I hadn't gotten the craving for lunch yet. So simple, so yum.

By the way, Mags sent me this video that highlights Fiore's tuna, mozarella sandwich. I've never had it and I am an advocate for Fiore's, but I have to say that the sandwich in the video looks awful.

I had a tuna sandwich for breakfast this morning (and yesterday too!). I'm sure there's something good about the protein boost so early.

Great to hear that Tom. Tuna with shredded cucumbers on toast is one of my favorite "Western" breakfasts in Taiwan.
