Pickles by Brian Crane for February 21, 2022

My father makes an excellent tuna casserole. The only problem it doesn’t reheat worth a damn. If there’s any left it’s thrown out.

I’ve completely given up on tuna casserole. Spouse cannot tolerate the inexpensive brands of canned tuna because they have soy protein which is a serious problem for her… so we only buy the expensive tuna, either canned or fresh/frozen. Fresh tuna in a casserole would be a crime… and since we both like tuna salad, that’s how our canned tuna is used.

(If you cook fresh tuna more than “quite rare”, you are making a mistake!)

Good? It was never good! (j/k)

Mmmm…I should make a tuna casserole. It’s been a while. Though mine’s simple: KD, tuna and frozen peas.

I like to use that stuff as an attract ingredient in my wasp trap !

Do they think Nelson has a stronger stomach?

There’s no such thing as a good tuna casserole.

I think that Opal’s comment says everything.

Never had tuna casserole.

ANIMAL CRUELTY!

Yuck!

Score 8 Contempt Points for Opal!

Not allowed in my house. The smell makes me want to yack.

If Opal has to guess the age of the tuna casserole, then it’s best not to attempt to eat it!

Tuna has mercury in it now they say, so if I eat it on a hot day will I get taller as a thermometer expands in the heat?!

Not a fan of tuna casserole

Vomitrocious!

Boy, Mr. and Mrs. Kotter did not age well

If you don’t know how old something is in the fridge, throw it out, even if there isn’t any fur growing on it.

If it’s right from the refrigerator with the “fumes” coming off, the answer is NO.

Feed it to Roscoe. That’ll take care of cmerb!

Must be for Nelson

IDE give it three days tops…then when in doubt, throw out!

I think that Brian is secretly spying on my wife and I as he looks for ideas on his daily comic renderings

Two week left overs are okay for Earl…..for Nelson not much!

It’s not worth being messed up for days over a dollar’s worth of tuna casserole.

The USDA says that between 30 and 40 percent of food in America is wasted.

Key word…”Depends.”

I have never eaten or made a casserole, but even I know it should have a lid on it in the fridge.

My husband will eat stuff that I would throw down the disposal. He has never gotten sick after eating old food, so he must have a cast-iron stomach.

We DO NOT want to risk Nelson!!

Earl? Nyhhhhh.

I put the date on my dishes w/felt marker & masking tape, use oldest up first.

For two weeks in the fridge, not certain of that, when I make it I know not make much so none is left.

If you cook the HELL out of it…… the germs will be gone.!!!

Stouffers tuna noodle casserole in the freezer section was yummy / delicious when i was a kid. Don’t even know if they make it anymore though.

I have many fond and not-so-fond memories of the ubiquitous tuna noodle casserole.

It was one of a very limited selection of dishes that my first wife did reasonably well. It was inexpensive and easy to prepare – potato chips crust on top and all! Because we were young and often between pay checks, it was our fall-back meal. In our first year together, I ate a lot of tuna noodle casseroles…

2 week old fish…what could go wrong…

Hmmm, notice she didn’t mention Roscoe..
