Tuna casserole, I think, is one thing I tend to avoid, on the order of
pizza. It's not that I hate it- it's just that I had so many not-very-good
versions at various school cafeterias, that it has become a non-favorite. I
like all the ingredients (other than _canned_ peas), much as with pizza,
it's just that the combination just doesn't do it for me.
