£13.40 for two tins of tuna???

[cumbriaisbest]

I thought Sainsburys had made a mistake when about 7 things cost me 50 quid. But, no it's correct.
I can't stand the cheap stuff and it will form the basis of a meal....but really??

Is expensive tuna like the royal family of tuna and the cheap tuna working class? How do you have cheap (stuff) tuna? It’s all fish from the sea.

Although I am aware tinned tuna is cheaper than fresh due to the species used for tinned but mostly tinned is the same species.

I knew it would be Ortiz tuna you are talking about, it is the most awesome tinned tuna I have tasted, once you've had it you can't go back, well I can't!

Cheapest you can get it is £5.65 a tin, we stock up when it's that price - we don't eat meat, so don't begrudge the price one bit!

I don't think you quite understand what this thread is about.

Don’t buy it if the price makes you baulk. It’s completely delicious tuna and you won’t go back to the cheap stuff. See also M&S albacore tuna loins in a jar. No going back.

Never considered eating cold butter beans before! I love them but only ever had them with a traditional Sunday roast.

Can't help with the tuna as can't stand anything fish related but thanks for the butter bean tip 😋

Totally different product. Fresh or frozen raw tuna isn't a substitute for good cooked tuna in good EVOO, both of which are very expensive.

Plus the people making 'hilarious' MN tuna comments are missing the giant jar of quality butter beans, bread and salad ingredients. It's not a light meal.

Thanks OP, I'm in Spain at the moment and self catering so will treat myself to this meal sometime this week.

I use cannellini rather than butter beans, but it’s a gorgeous salad. Worth buying ventresca for.

Really? I shop at Sainsbury’s and it’s between £2.50 - £6.00 for 3 tins of tuna depending upon which brand you get. 🤔

Yes tuna cans have shrunk a tin used to do me and my Dd now I can eat a tin on my own.

Yes

Yes it's this brand. I don't like the cheap stuff. It will make a decent meal for 3 adults, maybe a bit left over.

It's just mad how expensive any decent food is.

Let me introduce you to tabbouleh.

I'm sorry where is the moaning exactly? But thanks anyway.

Well, I'm an advertiser's dream customer because just did tuna salad for tea.
Although with lots of gorgeous new potatoes.

@MoistVonL You need to share the full recipe in one post. We're all salivating for it. Thanks 😊

Thank you for sharing.

It’s obviously a premium product and the price reflects that. No one is making you buy it!

We do spaghetti with said expensive tuna, capers, chilli and lemon and oil. Rocket on top and parmesan. Its so nice.

Thank you for sharing that something you like is expensive and you won’t eat the cheaper version.

I shared a nice recipe?

Sick of Eating Out and It's not that Good - is another thread on here and many people not happy doing it. Buy a couple of jars of this Tuna with the rest of the ingredients and it is far better than lots of the meals I have eaten out recently and I am not talking chain restaurants.

Well said. I will enjoy my meals and think nothing of it!

Sounds lovely! I'll try this for lunch one day, thanks for the tip.

Agree it's expensive for tuna but it may be worth it as an occassional treat. We rarely eat out nowadays so like to spend our money buying the better things in the supermarkets instead, which usually makes most of the food taste better than the average mediocre restaurant meal out

Well now I want to buy some!
