Taking the Drama Out of Tuna

Those lovely souls at John West have come up with a new twist on the good old tin of tuna. They are now selling it ‘pre-drained’ so that their customers can have – ‘tuna without the drama’.

Well thank Christ for that!

I have been a tuna lover for as long as I can remember but the one thing that has blighted my love affair with the yellow fin has been all of that incessant draining.

I mean really – after spending literally seconds opening the tin, to then have to walk ALL OF THE WAY to the sink, press down on the lid and wait for another two seconds for the brine to drain away has brought me to the brink of despair on many an occasion.

‘Oh the drama! Oh the relentless agony!’ I have been known to wail, as I watch the brine trickle away down the plughole, my will to live in hot pursuit.

So thank-you John West for making my life that little bit more bearable and drama-free. Thank you for saving me two valuable seconds of time in this day and age of juggling and multi-tasking where every second counts.

Thank you for making my tuna-life balance that little bit more manageable.

How long, I wonder, before John West go the whole hog and start selling tinned turds labelled, ‘ready drained, digested and excreted tuna’ ?

Then my life really will be complete.
