Land and Sand
by Dan Blackburn

This recipe requires more elaborate cooking skills than Pink Fish, and should not be attempted by beginning cooks.  It is like Surf and Turf, but not as challenging or expensive.

1 hamburger bun
1 can Bumblebee tuna
1 hamburger
several slices of Velveeta cheese

  1. Fry hamburger in frying pan.
  2. Turn on broiler. Place open (important!) bun on cookie sheet, bread side up.Place under broiler, and toast it very lightly
  3. Open Bumblebee (can opener needed here), and drain oil into cat dish.
  4. Slice Velveeta (this can be done ahead, if you are serving a large group).
  5. Now, remove the bun, and spread hamburger on one of the two bun halves, and tuna on the other.
  6. Add catsup to taste, and then, Velveeta slices. Place back under broiler.
  7. Heat until cheese is melted; watch carefully so that it does not turn brown or black. Remove.
  8. Turn off oven
  9. Eat.
Note: Note: some people like the "land" part better than the "sand" or vice versa.  This is a versatile recipe that allows the user to suit their own tastes.  For example, a dash of oregano on the hamburger portion adds a zippy Italian flavor; leaving extra oil on the tuna gives a more fishy taste, and so on.
