This week, we’re handing over to one of our amazing peta2 interns, Annie! She just so happens to love food about as much as we do. As a peta2 Street Teamer, she even sent us cookies—all the way from Mexico. Yep, she definitely knows how to win our hearts! Annie, take it away! – Rachel
Hey guys!
When I was a little kid, I hated seafood. I remember going to the beach and seeing that it wasn’t the cleanest place to get my lunch, but my family loved it. So when I became vegan, I decided to try to make something my family and my sister would enjoy, and something that she could take to school with her and that was, of course, vegan! That’s how this tuna sandwich was born. I know what you’re thinking—”tuna?! But eating fish doesn’t make you a vegan”, and you are totally right, eating fish doesn’t make you a vegan, that’s why this is a vegan tuna sandwich—no fish were caught in the making of this sandwich!
You wouldn’t eat your dog, right? Well a study done by an Oxford University scientist showed that fish learn faster than dogs, isn’t that cool? Show your love for the sea kittens with this dish. The ingredients are so simple and you can find them pretty much everywhere.
I present the Tu-NOT! Sandwich …
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)

I was so impressed by this simple recipe! I was very doubtful that chickpeas could taste good in a sandwich like this. So delicious. I think this is going to be a new standby of mine.
Thanks!

I tried it, and it was SO GOOD! =D
I made one for myself to eat during the Christmas dinner, that way I’d know I could have something to eat. =)
And it was crazy, cause when i was making it…My dad (who’s a big meat eater, fish eater guy) tells me it smells just like tuna fish salad. haha! I even got him to try a peice! And he liked it!
Thanks for this! It’s one of my favorites now.
