I've only seen "Seasoned Tuna Medley." Tuna salad would be better.

I like it, but don't usually eat it in the cockpit because of its strong aroma which offends some. While it seems a little old, it beats slices of pepperoni or a jerky stick as a source of lean protein.

What would you recommend as a replacement?

I'm talking about the ice cream scoop of it they put on a bed of lettuce. I've never seen anyone eat it...always gets thrown out and if you get stuck with it, you're kinda hosed if you actually rely on the catering for nourishment. The grilled chicken salad is ok, but throw a sub roll with deli meat in there instead of the tuna fish...

Call me weird but I like tuna salad. I can understand not wanting it on a menu that you don't have a choice of whether you get it or not, but on the international side, I frequently order it over the steak or corkys.

I have no problem with it being on the intl selection, but, like you said, if you don't have a choice, it kinda stinks. I was just gaging people's thoughts about it. So far, the tuna is up 2 to 1, so, maybe I'm the weirdo, flying with all the other freaks that don't like tuna...

I would vote against it, or anything else that is mayonnaise based in the catering.

Ahh, my mistake. My duty times rarely merit actual catering, so I was thinking MS, aka Scooby Snacks.

I always let the other guy pick first, and I'd guess it's close to half the time I get the tuna. I think it's intended to make a sandwich, but I skip the bread. I think it's pretty good. I can remember guys going to great lengths to have more tuna sandwiches included in catering.

I can see, though, if you don't care for it, it shows up too often.

It's been a while since I got to order international catering.

More likely to go bad when either not taken proper care of, or delayed. Even if you generally like it, good thing to skip.
