A lot of young people seem to have no food preparation skills at all.

Lately I’ve seen a 3-way division in food shopping —

1) Yuppie types shop at Whole Foods and buy expensive, trendy things. In many cases, these people actually cook.
2) Old people shop at your basic neighborhood Supermarket. They’ve been cooking for years.
3) The average young person rarely shows up in establishments that sell unprepared food. They buy meals elsewhere, prepared by people who are paid to prepare their food.

I don’t buy tuna once I began noticing where it’s being made.

Oh, I thought Bill Parcells was considering a return to coaching. My bad.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/8-Cans-StarKist-Chunk-Light-Tuna-in-Water-5-oz/48387973

Tuna is too expensive at $1 for a tiny 5 oz can. Actually, half that is liquid so it’s $1 for 2.5 oz of meat. Yes, I’ve measured it. That comes to about $6 per lb which is out of my budget. Boneless pork can be found on sale for $1.29 lb, boneless chicken breast are $1.99 and boneless beef is less than $4 lb. Why bother with $6 tuna?

Also, the cans have become smaller. Most recipes have to be converted from the old 7.25 oz can to today’s 5 oz.

Today’s Millennials get their Tuna at the Sushi Bar.

After HS I took a year off before college...I needed to work and get ready for college.

One of my jobs was at a tuna cannery.

Worst. Job. Ever.

Got my mind right for college, though.

No, I do not eat tuna.

Go ahead and buy the can opener excuse. It’s a thing.

When I flew cross country a few months ago to visit my son, I found out the hard way, that he didn’t own a working can opener. I almost had a nervous breakdown cooking in that kitchen of his.

If it’s not something I made for him and packed in his freezer before I left or something he buys “out,” he doesn’t eat at all.

:(

Having already killed such staples tuna just looks, smells and tastes like expensive cat food.

...

The only reason cats keep us around is to open cans for them.

Blame it on millennials, but I don’t serve my kids that crap. It’s a poor product now that easy access to other choices are available.

No matter how much mayo you put into it, it still comes through dry and can flavored.
