In the Vetted Good Old Days, tuna casserole was made with "Sorry, Charlie" Starkist, Gooch's egg noodles, and Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Crushed Weaver's potato chips were sprinkled on top to entice children to eat of the magic potion. Tuna casserole was served with carrot sticks and black cherry jello with canned Royal Anne cherries.
In the 1980s Oldsmobile had an ad campaign with Ringo Starr and his daughter called, "This is Not Your Father's Oldsmobile". About that time I was perfecting my new-fangled tuna casserole. Charlie Tuna and the mushroom soup were still in, but the noodles were now spinach noodles. The soup was jazzed with 1 tsp lemon juice and 2 good shakes of Tabasco, 2 T of sliced green olives and pimento, a shake each of dill weed, garlic, and paprika. Top the casserole with grated Monterey Jack.
