Tuna melt paninis

AIBU to believe that a tuna melt panini should contain cheese - hence the ‘melt’? The last two times I’ve had one, from different places, there has been NO CHEESE, only horrid warm tuna. What is going on? I’m sure they’ve had cheese in before!

Should definitely contain cheese. However warm tuna mayo gives me the heebie jeebies 😵‍💫

Yes. Disgusting. Warm tuna is only nice with cheese.

Are you SURE it wasn't just a tuna panini?

Definitely. On both occasions it has been on the menu as ‘tuna melt’ or ‘tuna mayo melt’. Nothing melty about either 😭

I feel vindicated thank you! I thought I was imagining the cheese. I thought I was just unlucky the first time, but for it to happen twice?

YANBU. We sell them where I work and they are tuna and cheese.

Urgh. That's just a warm fish sandwich.

I wonder if it's a cost cutting thing?

Many years ago, I had a café. I did a lot of market research before buying, and visited various places to sample the competition. The tuna panini was my benchmark of choice. The amount of places that wrapped them in napkins to take away was incredible. You spend 20 minutes picking bits of tissue off the melted cheese!

There should be cheese that melts and dribbles out onto the panini press and goes a bit brown and crispy under the bread.

A melt is a melt because it has melted cheese. How can anyone think otherwise?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 27/05/2024 17:54

Obviously there must be cheese and the more the better!

Changingplace · 27/05/2024 17:54

Yes there should definitely be cheese!

OMGsamesame · 27/05/2024 17:54

What? This is a travesty

Itsallsostressful · 27/05/2024 17:53

I agree...I'd expect cheese !
