I am (or was) a seafood salad devotee. There used to be a chain of pita sandwich places that made great seafood salad pitas. They're gone. Subway used to offer very good seafood salad subs -- discontinued. My local supermarket for years sold pre-made seafood salad that was really good, and they also sell pita bread, so I was happily back in seafood pita land -- until about six weeks ago.
Suddenly, there was no seafood salad to be had, for about a month. Then it was back, and I celebrated -- until I made my first sandwich. I almost gagged. Totally different recipe, full of garlic and other contaminants that have no place in seafood salad. It was so bad I tossed the tub into the trash.
The other day I was happy to find seafood salad at Walmart, of all places. And ... no garlic, so I thought it should be safe. Alas, I was wrong again. No garlic in it, but dill. LOTS of dill. This dreck is nearly as inedible as the stuff from the stupidmarket. So the question is:
What are the chances that I could rescue it by putting it in a colander, washing it down with cold water to remove as much of the extraneous seasonings as possible, and then making it back into seafood salad with new mayonnaise and perhaps a very small splash of lemon juice? It's too horrible to eat the way it is, so what have I got to lose ... right?
