French canned tuna

 

Here's a fun stocking stuffer idea—order some French (thon), Italian (tonne peace) or Spanish (pesca de atùn) canned tuna! Nothing against Bumble Bee, my old stand by, but foreign tuna—packed in healthy olive oil—seems a little exotic and special. You can enjoy these gourmet canned tunas all year long, either in a sandwich wrap (my fave is with chickpeas and baby spinach), or perhaps in a salad niçoise on a hot summer's day—Comme ça...with tuna, potatoes, tomatoes, string beans, calamata olives and a medium boiled egg, all nestled on a platter of Boston bibb lettuce. Oui?

Below is a humble haiku poem that I wrote that includes the words "canned tuna." Your challenge, should you choose to accept, is to send me your haiku poem, including the words canned tuna (or something close to that)—I'll post it here. Five syllables, seven syllable, then five syllables, with a twist. Or... just write any sort of story including the words canned tuna. Come on, you can do it. 

Humble canned tuna;

a briny gift of the sea

swims on, but in oil.

The sandwich I make

Canned tuna, mayo on rye;

Can I still add cheese?

The fish I prefer

packed with mustard in its can,

the mighty sardine.

Great big fish squeezed into a
teeny tiny can.
