An Especially Good Tuna Salad Sandwich Starts With the Crunch (Published 2022)

It’s hard to say exactly when tuna and potato chips teamed up in this childhood favorite, J. Kenji López-Alt writes, but...

マヨネーズ大好きで結構何にでもかけるけど、ツナサンドだけはマヨネーズなくてもいい。
この記事に載ってるチップス入りのツナサンドも、食べなくても美味しいってわかるわ。

undeniable

意味　明白な; 疑う余地のない; 否定できない

concur

意味　意見を同じくする; 同意 [賛成] する

I concur, based on the results of several informal taste tests: the crisper the chip, the better the sandwich.

swear by A

意味　(くだけて)A〈物など〉をよいと固く信じている（進行形にしない） .

Kettle-style chips maintain their texture longer than thinner standard chips. Ruffles are crunchier still. I was especially surprised and delighted by the generous crunch (and salt) a handful of Fritos adds. Jeff Mason, who ran the Bay Area sandwich shop Pal’s Takeaway, swears by Indian papadums. This makes me wonder what other crispy-salty snacks might work.

Dan Pashman, host of the podcast “The Sporkful,” said the key was to aim for “dynamic contrast,” or different textures throughout the bite. He likened it to a candy bar: “There’s a hard shell, then a gooey part, then a chewy or crunchy part.”

あー、キャンディのたとえ分かりやすいな。かりかりのチップスと旨味が詰まったジューシーなツナの層が…そら美味しいわ！

slumber party

意味　(米) （少女たちの）お泊まり会 (pajama party).

His mother, Linda, says tuna and potato chip sandwiches were a staple of slumber parties during her 1960s childhood in Marblehead, Mass. Those featured Hutchinson’s chips, a handmade, kettle-cooked brand that operated continuously in Marblehead from 1892 to 1968.

copious

意味　多くの, おびただしい〈量· 数· 使用など〉.

Personally, I like the crunch of diced celery and red onions, and, if I want to be fancy, some minced parsley and chives. If you’re feeling flush, you could add a copious amount of extra-virgin olive oil emulsified into the tuna salad with a fork, an idea from the chef Ana Sortun, who folds tuna and olive oil into the stuffing of what are possibly the greatest deviled eggs in existence at her Boston restaurant, Oleana.
