This was one of my grama's standby recipes when I was a little girl and is her version of SOS ('Stuff on a Shingle' but she used a different word for 'stuff' - tee hee). And before anyone thinks that it's offensive using grama's recipe title, please note that she lived in a trailer park and had a sense of humor. I simply must recommend good old fashioned 'Wonder Bread' for this recipe - LOL.
Melt butter in pan over medium heat, whisk in flour to make the roux, whisk in milk a little at a time and continue stirring until sauce thickens.
Bring to a boil, add tuna and peas and cook until heated through, gently stirring occasionally.
Spoon evenly over each slice of toast, season with salt and pepper and serve.
If your sauce becomes too thick, simply add a wee bit more milk. If sauce is not thick enough, add about a half teaspoon of cornstarch.

I'm looking for a recipe for "tuna pea wiggle".
By Linda from VT
My grama used to make a similar recipe with hamburger called S.O.S. (you know what on a shingle) LOL! ;-)
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
dash of salt
Melt butter, add flour, mix till pasty, add milk and stir constantly over medium heat until thickened and bubbling slightly, (do not bring to a rolling boil). Add the tuna and peas and stir constantly until bubbling.
Serve over toast.
My Mom used to make something similar, Shrimp Wiggle and it was great. Hadn't thought of the recipe in years! Thanks so very much for sharing!
Use a can of cream of celery soup, onion powder to taste, some black pepper to taste, 1/2 c frozen peas, 1 can tuna drained. Mix all, heat and serve over toast. Yum.
I am looking for the tuna dish that we used to have in school. It doesn't have noodles. I think it had a filling of tuna, cheese, and white sauce which was rolled in dough and cut into circles, but I'm not sure. Have a good day.

Must be Turna Pinwheels. Good recipe at www.allaboutmealplanning.blogspot. com. This has cheese sauce made with white sauce and cheese and the tuna mixture is rolled jellyroll style in tea biscuit dough.
