Im not sure why finding the grossest tuna combo has suddenly become a competition around here?

I do figure that most people who read a big series don't read all of it multiple times, but there are a couple-three I've a few times, so I'm probably not most people.

Well, I'd swap out the mushroom soup for tomato, and omit the olives, but blending tuna and waffles doesn't sound all that unappetizing.

I challenge the whole forum to post a serious (i.e., not a joke, not trolling) recipe involving canned tuna and frozen waffles that actually sounds delicious. If you do, I promise I'll cook and eat it.

I would have guessed that most book lovers have a few that they reread a lot.

(For me, when I was younger, Tolkien til the books, including Silmarillion fell apart - now mostly just the Silmarillion; more recently all of Glen Cook except his last series at least twice, most of it three or four; and have read through Rex Stout twice).

I didn't think I would find something worse than canned tuna on pizza, and my mom's tuna casserole. Canned tuna on waffles might do it.

... does it have to be frozen waffles? Because the ones in the picture that started this look like they could be out of a waffle iron.

Anyway, I'm quite serious. Add some basil and oregano to the soup, maybe some cheese, then stir in the tuna, heat it up nicely, and pour it over the waffles. It wouldn't be something I've eaten before, but nothing about it says "inedible" to me.

I don't know about most, but I do know that it is fairly common for people to reread the Stormlight Archive at least once after finishing all of the books that are currently out (and then again when a new book comes out), just due to the fact that there's so much foreshadowing and hidden details that you wouldn't notice on the first readthrough. And those books are big, all over 1,000 pages.

Yeah, it depends. LotR I've read multiple times, and Lyonesse in part because it's just so damn readable. But those aren't that long. I read Neil Stephenson's Baroque Cycle a second time and enjoyed it more on the re-read, and that's a beast (three volumes, 8 sub-books, 2256 pages).

I tried to do what Acererak is talking about with Song of Ice and Fire. I re-read the first three books when a Feast for Crows came out five years after A Storm of Swords, but by the time Dance arrived I was done with it. I had needed the re-read to get reacquainted with the plots and large cast, but the books just weren't enjoyable enough to justify re-reading 3188 pages after another five years had passed. The only time in my life when I've felt that the TV or film adaptation of a work was just superior and more worth the consumer's time than the book(s). And that's even considering the collapse in writing in the last couple seasons of the series.

Yeah, I could see it being workable with savory waffles. The texture would probably not be appealing for me, though; the whole thing would be too mushy.

Dont listen to them. You take the soup and olives and give them to the food shelf. You bread the tuna and deep fry it. Smother in hot sauce and maple syrup. Voila! Tuna and waffles that are edible and delicious.
