Tuna Casserole

Cultural Context

Tuna casserole, a classic American comfort food, emerged during the mid-20th century, particularly during the post-World War II era when convenience foods became popular. It symbolizes home cooking and resourcefulness, often made with pantry staples. Today, variations abound, with some incorporating different vegetables or cheeses, reflecting personal tastes and dietary preferences.
