Savannah – huh! Well, it sounds like their receipt system is screwed. Not too long ago I got my second receipt from the Red Cross, dated December 5. This one’s in English. Both of them are pseudo-signed by Napoleon Hendrix III (!) who’s the manager of Donor Relations.

Mr. Hendrix writes, “It has come to my attention that the initial acknowledgement sent to you by the Red Cross was in Spanish. I sincerely apologize for this mistake, which occurred because of a systems malfunction, and has been corrected. [blah blah apology blah blah more apology blah blah practically falls down apologizing].”

I went for the Original. I’ll try the smoked variety next week. (It’s on sale at the aforementioned SPUD.) I think the Natural one doesn’t have salt, and the Original one does.

As for the cooking, I dunno — steaming, I’d guess. Could be that the heat of canning cooks the fish.

*giggling at your conversation of shame*

Thanks for the referral! I’ve not had tuna for a long time because of the bother in determining what’s safer and what isn’t. (I’d been concentrating on Trader Joe’s wild caught salmon patties, which are good broken up and sauteed and served with stir fry vegetables over rice).

The Red Cross/Peet’s has still not sent my receipt; I’m going to eat someone’s face at Corporate.

Ooh, that looks good. Which kind did you have? I’m having trouble figuring out the difference between the “Natural”, “Original”, and “Smoked” varieties (how else *do* they cook canned fish besides smoking, anyway?)

I’ve clearly squandered the couple of cans that I’ve bought of it, since I just stirred it into my mac and cheese and didn’t pay attention to it except to notice that it was more solid and more solidly packed than the standard varieties.

I’ll show more appreciation next time.
