At some point during my childhood, probably somewhere around middle school, Frank made tuna fish sandwiches for lunch. We were out of bread so he served it, or attempted to serve it, on an English muffin. When I realized that he wanted me to eat a tuna sandwich on an English muffin, I did what any reasonable person would do. I freaked the frick out.
I totally spazzed. I yelled and cried. It's not that I didn't like tuna fish. That wasn't it. It wasn't that I didn't like English muffins. It was just that there was no way on God's green earth that I was going to eat tuna fish on an English muffin. Was he crazy? English muffins are a breakfast food. Why was he being so disgusting? Why was he trying to force me to eat something that disgusting? Why? Just why?
Frank tried rationalizing with me; it's just bread, it will be fine, just eat it. I saw right through those rational arguments. Next he was going to try to feed me arsenic.
I'm not sure if I finally ate it that day or if it was at another point in time that I used an English muffin as the bread for a tuna sandwich but it turns out Frank was right. It is just bread and is actually quite delicious with tuna.
Sorry about that, Frank. Thank God the teenage years don't last.

I don't know.. at 37 I think I still would be a little freaked out by tuna on an english muffin. But, we can't always choose how our little frustrations come out; even as adults. C:)
That's funny because I asked my kids today if they'd rather have tuna patties/like a tuna burger for dinner tomorrow night or mac & cheese with tuna and my daughter said that she wanted the patties on an English muffin.
Psh I totally relate to this one, there are so many irrational teenage moments from my past that make me cringe in embarrassment
Sound like an interesting concoction. I'm curious now...
If he TOASTED the english muffin, I think it would be really good. A little cheddar on there? YEAH.
May you never have kids. What goes around comes around.
Hey, you left a comment on my site a while back and my spam filter caught it... anywho, thanks for stopping by.
Also, I had a russian friend who would eat Sardines and Crossaints for breakfast! YUCK! He said in Russia they didn't have "Breakfast" food, they just had food and you ate whatever was available. But I am with you - English muffins are breakfast food.
I LOVE tuna fish on english muffins! YUMMY!!! Mmm...slap on a piece of cheese, and I'm in heaven.
It's all those hormones. :) Normal things were tragedies while I was a teen.
I still wouldn't eat tuna on a english muffin though...
Mmmm tuna melts...
Ya - these days any kind of food sounds good to me.
Oh I'm surprised April didn't tell you about the time she made my lunch it was a freaking hot dog roll with peanut butter and jelly boy did my balls get busted at work
that is so funny, I can't even imagine you doing that. At six maybe, but as a teen, no. lol!
That sounds good, I'll have to give a try sometime....NOT lol! :D
Tuna on a toasted english muffin and a slice of swiss melted over the top...mmmmmmmmm
And it's even better if you toast the english muffin.
