Sorry I left out the Tuna Mornay, the Tuna Corn Casserole, the Tuna Club House Sandwich, the Salmon Stuffed Peppers, the Salmon Fondue, and assorted other marvels. A higher power convinced me that the world wasn't yet ready.

Tuna Booklet, c1946

"Use Star-Kist Tuna All-Ways: Main Dishes, Salads, Sandwiches... " Front and back covers of a 24-page promo published by The French Sardine Company: "Packers of Star-Kist Tuna many other related products..." More interesting ephemera and other info on this company (which didn't change its name to Star-Kist until 1952) can be found at San Pedro: Block By Block . I'm assuming that's where this booklet originated. Thanks, SPBXB.

Other exciting highlights from the recipe section: Avocado Tuna Mold, Peas and Tuna Casserole, Creamed Tuna Variations, Baked Tuna and Noodles, Tuna Rice Ring, Tuna Curry Casserole, Tuna Souffle, Tuna Delight, Ripe Olive Tuna Loaf, Peppers Stuffed With Tuna, Mackerel Loaf, and Sardine Cheese Spread. You can kind of see why the Distress Signals were necessary.
