Unfortunately, just removing any other added salt doesnt quite fix it.  Part of
this I admit is we have lowered our overall salt use quite a bit so we are no
longer 'high salt taste tolerant'.  Thats a large switch for us, and it took
close to 2 years to accomplish (gradual shifts over time).

Want wierd?  I used to not react to salt at all.  I think now, I do.  The very
reduction in intake now makes me react to larger amounts when before I had no
reaction.  It's probably because I took our cooking down to normally 2000mg a
day levels then when I plurge something really salty when out, I can hear my
blood whooshing in my ears for a few hours after (High BP sign for me).

Its ok!  I just think I'd make it 3 cans for us.

I saw one in Japan that a lady used that *sounded* awful but tasted fine.  She
didnt drain the cans but added no oils or butter.  Used a mix of brown, white, 
and wild rice in it.  She'd drain the cans (2 water, 1 oil) then brown the rice
in it sorta like you do 'rice-a-roni' then add the rest.  The 'rest' for her
was
chicken stock, green bell peppers and red bell peppers, the tuna, and (sounds
awful but worked) cottage cheese then finished off with a little cheddar. She 
spiced it but not sure what with.  We called it 'Tuna-de-Maria' as she'd sing
tunelessly while fixing it up for potlucks.  Maria thought of it as 'American'
cooking and we never disabused her of that idea since she comes from Naples and
to 'her' it was 'American'.

LOL, thanks for giving me a chance to remember that one.  Memories like that 
will be sparked off for years I am sure!  An Italian version of 'fusion
America'
that none of us would recognize but actually was alot tastier than it sounds.

 DD> ... If ants are so busy, how do they make it to all those picnics?
