Using Pringles as a tuna scoop isn’t a bad idea, actually
Yep. Any salty hard biscuit works too.
Mix the tuna with some mayo, add a bit of chives and siracha in the mix if you are feeling fancy and it makes a decent snack.
I'm sure it would be... if tuna wasn't the most disgusting fish imaginable :(
Tuna is good. Canned tuna, however, needs like a bucket of mayo to make it not dry and terrible. Then it's delicious fish flavored mayo.
I have noticed that British fantasy authors (Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and you-know-who) tend to describe wonderful meals, so I think that tells us something about Bri'ish cuisine. For them, good food apparently is just as fantastical as talking animals and wizards.
Though have you seen just how many food descriptions are in ASOIAF (Game of Thrones books)? GRR Martin loves a good food description.
Have you seen GRRM? He loves a good food.
Honestly, who doesn’t? I can’t remember ever reading a lengthy description of some delicious food and thinking that the author should just hurry up and get to the story.

canned......
tea?
what is this?
Arizona is really just tea flavoured sugar water but it's cheap AF so everyone (including me) drinks it anyways
Cheaper than water in many places still.
A corner store near my college occasionally had 4 cans for $2. I’d stock up for weeks at a time when that happened, and I got a sick finger workout carrying a ton of paper bags full of them home
They don’t taste great, but for less than a dollar a can? 100% worth it
Funny, cause in Germany it's pretty expensive and considered somewhat of a premium product.
Tea is just tea flavored sugar water.
Nah, I drink my hot leaf juice without sugar, thank you.
It's just as good as "real" tea, provided you serve it hot by putting it in a mug and microwaving it.
A packet of non-dairy creamer and you have real English tea!
who hurt you :(
No
First of all, how dare you
Second of all, how dare you.
Third of all, dare how you.
Fourth of all, can you spare some?
Fifth of all, can you bring the marmite?
drops monacle
My word!
I guess that's one way to declare war with Britain...
We have already colonised OP's house and liberated his possessions for the British Museum.
I have had this precise meal many times in college. Luxurious, but not a succulent Chinese meal.
This...is democracy manifest!
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!
We (Aussies from Melbourne) tried to find decent Chinese food in England and gave up. Most of it was worse than Australian Chinese from the 1970's! The Indian and Turkish restaurants however, were amazing.
Decent...but not succulent for sure!
Looks like one of the plastic cups they give to people is psychwards. Checks out.
looks absolutely delectable
Technically correct, therefore, unquestionable.
That's the gourmet version with all that stuff from the colonies.
Pringles are from Belgium I think
A lot of people don't know this but manifest destiny also covers delicious, salty snacks from the rest of the world.
Heat up the tea add milk. Break up the crisps in a bowl with the tuna. Give a good mix add some olive oil. Season to liking and is just fine.
I'd eat that! I love tuna!
No, that's fish and crisps.
