The Reuben: Great or Disgusting

[EliSnow]

I love Reuben sandwiches: corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing on rye.

Snoogans thinks it sounds horrible. What does the rest of .net say?

[Snoogans]

Patience, my friend.

[FUNKMAN]

thumb slightly up... meat needs to be hot or warm

hot pastrami is best, with melted finlandia swiss... on rye but not too much meat. a third of whats in that pic suffices

but i'm not picky

[disneyspy]

ruebens are good but patty melts are better

[Snoogans]

what is the Reuben the official sandwich of old people?

[Snoogans]

this shoulda been public so i could see all the people who are insane

[disneyspy]

quit lookin at me! and get off my lawn

[FUNKMAN]

any man who likes to wrap his mouth around that much meat is suspect

[burrben]

meat needs to be hot or warm



your personal motto?

[EliSnow]

Yeah, I should have made it public. Can't go back and change it though.

BTW, Reubens may be the best thing mikeyboy's people have ever created.

[EliSnow]

The amount in that pic is a little too much.

[Dougie Brootal]

ruebens are the greatest thing ever invented.

[TjM]

A reuben is fucking delicious

i concur

[Snoogans]

wow i didnt know i was posting on a gay website



well yea i did, but not this gay

[A.J.]

Never liked them. I hate sauerkraut alone.

[Aggie]

Ew

[EliSnow]

You can have a Rachel with Cole slaw.

[KnoxHarrington]

The Reuben is the king of sammiches.

Fucking love them

[Snoogans]

You can have a Rachel with Cole slaw.

cole slaw is also fuckin terrible

[A.J.]

You can have a Rachel with Cole slaw.

Cole slaw is a nice side. It doesn't belong on a sandwich.

[Tall_James]

Love me a reuben.

[EddieMoscone]

Got to make sure it's on marble rye.

[aceofspades7]

Love it - not a lot of great corned beef places in DC. There is one close to my office though - Loebs Deli.

[Donnie Iris]

Hated them when I was a kid, LOVE them now. I even like turkey reubens.

[Donnie Iris]

Cole slaw is a nice side. It doesn't belong on a sandwich.

Don't tell that to the Yinzers here in Pittsburgh...

[FUNKMAN]

sliced kielbasi sandwich can be just as good...

[A.J.]

Don't tell that to the Yinzers here in Pittsburgh...

Primanti's is the exception.

[sailor]

Reubens are great, but pale in comparison to corned beef and/or pastrami on rye with Cole slaw and Russian.

[Donnie Iris]

Primanti's is the exception.

Yeah, and they are pretty average anyway. They hit the spot now and again, but the legacy of the gimmick seem to carry that place.

There is a Pittsburgh bar in San Fran called Giordano Bros. that imitates them but was actually better to my think.

[furie]

meh

not a fan of sauerkraut

[Freitag]

*screams* IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!

[Freitag]

Last reuben I had, I told Liz she could have some but I knew she wouldn't eat it because she was avoiding nitrates.

I went out to shovel snow, with 2/3 of my sandwich in the fridge.

I returned to find an empty box still in fridge.

[Jughead]

Phucking great:thumbup:

[sailor]

Sandwiches put in the fridge are disgusting.

[weekapaugjz]

Possibly the greatest sandwich ever invented. No place in my town makes a decent one though.

[weekapaugjz]

Now I can't think of anything else I wasn't to eat for dinner now :wallbash:

[Contra]

Never had one, don't like sauerkraut though.

[STC-Dub]

Great Sandwich!

Stop Being A Pussy!!

[jauble]

Well Snoogans is just now growing an adult palate maybe one day he can enjoy a delicious sandwich.

[KnoxHarrington]

I'm glad to see that good taste is reigning here, and just about everyone recognizes the glory that is a Reuben.

The only way you could possibly not like a Reuben is if you're an anti-Semite.

If you hate Reubens, you love Hitler.

[sr71blackbird]

My favorite is a real Cuban sandwich. Amazingly good. Reuben is okay, but not great great. I think I prefer a Monte Cristo over a Reuben, honestly. Damn, now I'm hungry!

That's no reuben! That's CLEARLY a Woody Allen (1/2 pastrami 1/2 Corned beef).:nono:

I don't think that a Reuben is Kosher. (beef and cow's milk swiss cheese):unsure:

I dare not second guess Joe on this one.

the jewish deli by me makes a reuben without cheese. made that mistake once. why bother?

[Hottub]

Then it's not a reuben, is it. It's a corned beef on rye.

Silly Jews.

[sailor]

well, with sauerkraut and russian.

[IMSlacker]

It's somewhere between a great deli sandwich and a pile of crap. The're ok, but I'd rather have a pastrami and swiss on rye with spicy mustard.

[Devo37]

thousand island dressing is crap. sauerkraut makes bread gummy and is better on the side (like coleslaw).

corned beef on toasted rye, with tomato and brown mustard is the way to go.

[sailor]

tomato??

[Devo37]

tomato??

yeah, i was surprised too, but it works well.

and f*ck you, lettuce! who needs you?!?

[FUNKMAN]

I'm not sure. Is he the half white one, or the half black one?

Edit: Never mind. That's not him.

[razorboy]

I love the rye, the corned beef, the sauerkraut and the russian dressing. I have to pass on the Swiss as I am lactose intolerant.

i've got a jewish deli you'd love!

[Thebazile78]

I like mine best when it's open-faced & you have to eat it with a knife and fork ... and then you have leftovers for the next day and a half.

Corned beef, swiss, sauerkraut and thousand island on rye with spicy or whole-grain mustard on the side.

Especially good if it's from your favorite diner, although the one at Harold's is gluttony bordering on overkill. (You end up eating like a king for almost a week, there's so much meat.)

[Section 8]

Love Reuben sandwiches. Not too much corned beef, just enough sauerkraut to give it that bite, and a thin smear of a good brown mustard. I prefer the marble rye, too. Needs to be lightly toasted.

Totally agree on the toasted bread! Sometimes it's got kind of a buttery hint to it, like they maybe grilled it with a bit of butter, but it makes the difference between a great sandwich and a mess.

[Ritalin]

ruebens are good but patty melts are better

There was one year when I was in college when I easily ate 200 patty melts. There was a place, and they were great.

Two differrent sandwiches, though. In the same food genus and species, but different.

Genus: Diner Food

Species: specialties/other

Include: Reuben, Patty melt, Monte Cristo, French Dip.

I don't care for an open faced "sandwich".

If you can't pick it up and eat it with your hands comfortably it's not a sandwich.

[razorboy]

I don't care for an open faced "sandwich".

I bet you don't.

[Ritalin]

I bet you don't.


I don't even know what that means.

Made me laugh, though.

(I hate wraps, too. They're never fresh and the tortilla gets all clammy)

[EliSnow]

So, 40 to 4 in favor of Reubens.

And the wife is making corned beef tonight.

Looks like I'll have a homemade reuben tomorrow.
