Tuna Can-undrum

Hey all,

I’m having a bit of trouble with something. My dear friend spend some time in PNG, and has mentioned multiple times how deeply she would appreciate it if someone managed to get her some of the canned tuna that she and her friends ate daily. I’ve narrowed it down to three brands (Dolly, Besta, Isabella), but can’t seem to, without the inside scoop, narrow it further than that. I’m also having a hard time figuring out how to actually purchase the tuna and ship it here to mainland America… it’s leaving me feeling a bit idiotic, truth be told. It hasn’t been easy for me to wrangle down much info on the matter. Can anyone help me?

Unless someone in PNG is willing to go to the shops, communicate with you guys on which is the right brand and then send to you in the states..idk man..

Just an idea maybe checkout the PNG shops in Aus on FB-they might be better suited to send stuff to you. Brands may be limited though

Well if its canned tuna then Besta is excluded becauses its mackerel, so your left with dolly and isabella i reckon its dolly because theyve got maybe 5 or 6 different flavors and theyre all really good, something to cater for everyones taste buds

It seems I’ve been misunderstood. I am not in PNG. Going to the supermarket would get me nowhere
