You’re talking about Matthew McConaughey – the man who single-handedly made pink jeans cool in the ’70s… wait, it was just one scene in “Dazed and Confused” and he was probably just trying to fit in with the hippies.
Anyway, it seems Matthew has traded in his hippie vibe for a chef’s hat, and his culinary escapades have taken the internet by storm like cat-shaped tuna pies. Who knew his laid-back charm would be just the recipe for a viral baking sensation?
Forget Blockbuster stoner movies; the Hollywood hunk is now serving up his “badass tuna salad,” packed with everything from wasabi to crispy jalapeño!
Because, let’s face it; if there’s one thing we all need, it’s a Dazed and Confused Tuna salad that sounds like a party in your mouth!
It all started with a clip of Matthew McConaughey from the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast in which he dubbed himself a “master tuna fish salad maker” and shared his version of the classic lunch. His recipe includes some eyebrow-raising ingredients, including wasabi, apples, and frozen peas. According to McConaughey, he throws together a tuna salad every Sunday to clean out his fridge.
