‘Okay, okay’

Another content creator, @cibsandibus, also tried the recipe and shared his thoughts.

After taking a bite of his tuna salad sandwich made from McConaughey’s recipe, he said confidently, “Okay, okay.”

“Being a foodie and hearing all these ingredients, I had to try this sandwich,” he said. He then showed how he made the recipe. After making it exactly as the actor explained, he explained that there was “no mention of salt or pepper” but he will decide if it is necessary after tasting.

“As I’m mixing, I instinctively want to add more mayonnaise, but I’ve seen Matthew McConaughey with his shirt off, so I doubt his recipe is 50 percent mayonnaise and 50 percent everything else,” said he. “Let’s add some ground black pepper. And there’s the finished product.”

He then made a sandwich with the mixture and some “lightly toasted, rustic bread.” His latest review: “There are some really nice flavors working together. So here’s the deal, there are a lot of ingredients in there, but they all work really well together.”
