*I don't know if I cause got always brought canned corn kernels earlier but the Green Giant Steam Crisp corn was genuinely good! Minimal H2O inward the tin move in addition to it was genuinely really crisp. Much crisper than frozen corn.

My thoughts:
Tuna in addition to sweetcorn is non a pop combination hither inward the US. I had heard of it earlier our trip to England a few years agone but I was even in addition to therefore surprised to meet tuna in addition to sweetcorn inward such abundance. It was inward grocery stores alongside the other prepared sandwich selections (why is Europe in addition to therefore ahead of us inward the packaged sandwich game?), I saw it on menus at cafes, in addition to I fifty-fifty saw an advertising for tuna in addition to sweetcorn pizza! When nosotros made our means upward to Bath, it had been a long twenty-four hours in addition to nosotros ended upward getting some accept out from a niggling house (The Bridge Coffee Shop if I recall correctly) right on the Pulteney Bridge over the Avon River. I had form of wanted to endeavor a tuna sweetcorn sandwich on the trip in addition to therefore I was a niggling disappointed that I didn't meet it on the carte du jour but they did cause got it every bit a topping for a jacket (or baked) potato. Yes, please! The combination was oddly tasty! The creamy tuna addition the lightly sugariness corn genuinely did work. It was a fun contrast to the hot Irish Gaelic patato beneath.

I'd honey to know the origins of this combination. I genuinely can't discovery one. Canned tuna was introduced to a greater extent than or less 1908 but genuinely didn't larn pop until the 1920s. Tuna salad was a novel add-on to the repertoire of luncheon salads similar chicken, ham or egg that had their roots inward saving scraps from dinner in addition to turning them into novel dishes. When canned tuna became available they pushed turning it into casseroles in addition to mayonnaise-based salads. You no longer ask to hold off for leftovers to brand tuna salad in addition to it was an affordable source of protein. Perhaps the heightened popularity of canned corn later Green Giant invented a vacuum method of canning corn inward the slow 1920s in addition to honey of tuna salad hitting at the same fourth dimension inward England in addition to Republic of Ireland resulting inward a sandwich filling that could hold upward tossed together chop-chop with pantry ingredients. I genuinely don't know.

I had idea of tuna in addition to sweetcorn off in addition to on from our trip but never bothered to brand it. Anyway, the other twenty-four hours I unexpectedly needed to brand dinner, had tuna in addition to potatoes I wanted to usage upward in addition to therefore my hubby picked upward some canned corn in addition to hither nosotros are. Normally, the combo is literally mayonnaise, tuna in addition to drained canned corn but the Irish Gaelic patato I had a garnish of light-green onion that I idea genuinely pepped upward the dish in addition to therefore when I made it, I added inward some light-green onion in addition to parsley. That in addition to some lemon pepper (or fresh lemon zest, salt, in addition to pepper if you're fancy) added a fresher, brighter gustation to the terminal dish. Try it, it's oddly satisfying!
