Every time I come across a great tasting recipe, I want to shout “Bingo!” When my fellow food samplers confirm the score, it’s like “Double Bingo!” Then I get emails, or I bump into people who’ve made the recipe and loved it and–what?– “Triple Bingo?” And you wonder why I always walk around smiling.
Thanks to Kate McClurg for sharing her fabulous curry chicken sandwich recipe. Kate has become one of my many recipe whisperers. Bingo!

Final notes:
- Want to know how much tuna you can consume safely? The Natural Resources Defence Council has guidelines.
- Harriet Sugar Miller‘s advice–“The light tuna is supposedly healthier than the Albacore, although some studies have shown that’s not always the case. A better option is to buy canned tuna from young fish. You can order it from Vital Choice.”

Unfortunately Tuna is highest in mercury and now at serious levels This is going on for years and now Fukushima may have polluted the whole Pacific. The rain brings the radiation down into the ocean Even wild salmon is off my menu. Very very sad Such a rich resource Destroyed and now GMO salmon are approved. In our lifetime the world has gone crazy Be careful not to eat tuna very often if at all

Thanks for the warning Eric. Will keep tuna to a minimum. I suggest you try this wrap with cooked chicken.
wow, thanks for that Eric. Fresh tuna too? Or mostly canned? To think we think fresh salmon is good for us and try to eat more of it. Now what to do?
I’m no expert. I listen to Harriet Sugar Miller on http://www.eatandbeatcancer.com and my brother Eric.

I’ve been following the Fukushima and fish story closely. The bottom line thus far:
Highly migratory fish caught off our North American shores–including tuna and maybe some halibut– could be affected because they’re capable of swimming all the way to Japan and back or to those currents carrying Fukushima radiation in the Pacific. (Alaskan halibut, however, are probably safe as they don’t seem to swim that far)
The salmon caught off North American shores do NOT travel that far, according to a well-respected expert on salmon migratory patterns.
Of course, what will happen down the line as that Kuroshio Current, likely still carrying Fukushima radiation, makes its way slowly to our Pacific and then Alaskan shores? We don’t know. I do know that I’m on the case.
Fish from Japan? Now, they’ve got a big problem. If you order fish in a restaurant, make sure you know where it’s coming from.

there’s always a peanut butter sandwich!
I adore peanut butter. Thanks for the reminder. How about peanut butter banana wraps?
I made this with egg and it was yummy! Loved the crunch of the green apple which made the 1 egg I used feel so much more substantial
Finally! This is the type of comment I’ve been waiting for! Anybody else try the recipe and have a comment for us? Thanks for sharing Nancy!
