Sans the rye bread 🤢, my favorite sandwich 😋

The best sandwich ever.

Tastee

I`ve come to prefer them with Cole Slaw rather than the Sauerkraut.

I could go either way, but I too prefer cole slaw.

Mighty fine eats!

You are kidding me...you can eat all that?

I like 1000 Island dressing on mine

like them a lot.

Never had one.
Cole slaw version would be tempting

That is a great looking Reuben! I want one for breakfast!!

Wish I had some cold Pizza King for breakfast.
Poor planning once again

A default sandwich for myself.

If I just can’t decide what I am in the mood for…

If you could get a Reuben without the kraut, corned beef, and rye bread, it might be edible. Add cilantro and mushrooms to a Reuben, and that'd cover all of the nastiest things I've ever tasted, lol.

Needs frilly toothpicks.

Didn't start eating them until a couple years ago.. never ate kraft.

Now I love the stuff

Absolutely; I’ve never NOT been in the mood for one




Yep

I've had great Reubens, I've had good Reubens, and I've had okay Reubens..........I've never had a bad Reuben.

Ruben sandwich with sourkraut, don't stop no baby, let it all hang out.

The one pictured is over the top - in every way. But a Reuben is a magnificent sandwich. It or a BLT are my defaults when I can't decide on anything else.

Same, although I had one in Glendive that sucked. They put tomatoes on it.

^This

I’m always amazed by the people that think they can alter a Reuben and call it a Reuben.

I thought thats what a Ruben was, corned beef sauerkraut and rye?

i used to work in a jewish neighborhood. the reubens were uber. i rarely ate anything else when i went to lunch.

Actually, pastrami.

That’s a Rachel.

Big fan.

Try a Reuben pizza, or a burger with the the Reuben ingredients on it for a good change up.

The places I’m familiar with use turkey and Cole slaw on their Rachel’s.

I grew up in Philadelphia and a corn beef with cole slaw on rye with Russian dressing and sometimes a slice of swiss, lightly toasted was called a "corn beef special" . A Reuben was almost the same with sauerkraut.

Sign me up for that one

Reuben - oh hell yeah! With marbled rye.


And a Deschutes Brewery porter.

🍻

Where's Remsen? We need an official answer on these matters....

I love Rueben sandwiches. Enough actually, that I refrain from eating them too often so that I never tire of them, a special treat each time that way.

Reubens are awesome, but I prefer to replace the rye with pizza crust, the sauerkraut with tomato sauce and mozzarella, and the corned beef with pepperoni. Now that makes for a tasty Reuben.

LOL

Trust me on this one.

Nicely done

If I ever had one up here...I sure it wasn't any good.

I always use dark pumpernickel bread and good Swiss cheese.. Original recipe called for Russian dressing but never can find it

Hurl. But I’m not Jewish.

The grocery near my old work location had a panini press that squeezed it all together nicely and toasted the rye perfectly.

Ooh Ooh Baby!

We went out to eat at work last week and I walked, I ordered a Reuben. A lot of times when I see Reuben on the menu that is what I order.

I will pass, thank you.

I am with Deflave. How can you change the ingredients and still call it a Reuben?

Replacing the kraut with coleslaw and the rye with anything but pumpernickel sounds good, but then it is not a Reuben.

You can make it and put it on your not-Reuben sandwich.

It’s usually some mom an pop restaurant in schitkicker’ville that will have their roast beef, mustard, tomato, on wonder bread labeled “Our Reuben.”

Fugkin’ gentiles.

Russian or Thousand, you wankers?

Correct.

The City Bar in Great Falls has a perfect Reuben.

The original used Russian, but Thousand Island is the semi-official substitute.

You "except with" guys are like libs who call a Ruger 10/22 an "assault rifle". Calling your sandwich a Reuben doesn't make it one.

It’s mostly accepted that you can use either now because people don’t want to make Russian dressing.

But the original uses Russian dressing.

Correct.

Both are mayo, ketchup, & pickle relish based.

The Russian seemingly the simplest with maybe just lemon juice added.

Don’t forget the fried onion rings!

I like mine with fried burger patties, mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish and pickles.

Oh, and cheese.

No.

Russian is more spice.

Thousand island is more sweet.

Or the folks who think Bruce Jenner is a woman.

We usually stop in there when we're in GF's - good place. We were there last weekend but haven't tried the Reuben (yet). I'll fix that next time - love a good Reuben...

Half right.

Thousand is sweeter as sugar is one of the adders to the base ingredients of both.

But if a dressing with the listed base ingredients is a lot spicier, it's due to added chili sauce & then it's not Russian, it's Louis dressing.

Hell with the Reuben....Ima gonna have the liverwurst someday!


I aint no Joo!

My late, lamented Lab would walk over razor blades for liverwurst. I used to sneak some of his when he wasn’t looking.

The Lunch Box in Havre has an excellent liverwurst also. I think it’s called the Liverbest. It has bacon also.

A+

No.

When I started going there in college, I ordered the No. 9. Aka the Montanan.



In 20 years I have never ordered anything else but the no. 9.



I will try the liverbest next time in your honor

I'm the party pooper, again, because these things are not kosher in most cases (cheese and meat). A corned beef sandwich with sauerkraut is a thing of beauty, but add in some gloppy mayo abortion juice and the cheese and I'd sooner pay the bill than eat the damn thing.

Fugging American Jews, they'll ruin everything if you let them.

The dressing isnt Kosher??


I thought it was non dairy???

I don't like the goop. Every single time I order a grilled corned beef and sauerkraut on rye sandwich at a deli they say "so you want a reuben?". Every single time. No I wanted grilled corn beef and sauerkraut on rye. They seem completely dumbfounded.

Yeah welll, you’re going to hell.

So there.

I hate everything mayo. But halachically, it usually is considered kosher.

Born and raised there (San Francisco), currently on hiatus in the real promised land, likely to return to Gehenna at the end.

Cheese is dairy.

Corned beef is meat.

Is it true that Jews always eat Chinese once a week because there is no dairy in most Chinese dishes?

Or is that a myth?

Also, can you really shapeshift?

Thanks in advance.

Thats terrible.


When we pray to the actual Savior tonight...we will ask if he will look upon you with favor and try to heal you of your deficiency.



Is it because the mayo gets on the end of your large, hooked nose?

Rye, corned beef, Swiss cheese, a little kraut and thousand island is how my wife makes it. I add the beer on the side. 😊

^^^Fugkin’ anti-Semite.^^^

Fleetwood Brougham.

Fill

They did. America.

But theres some Good News. They are false jews. Rev 3:9

You go to a good Jewish deli, you get Russian dressing.

What if you add beans?

You go there enough and you will have to find a Jewish Doctor.

So, someone finally found a use for thousand island.

I thought it was to keep the dog away from food.

Looks like I'm going to have to try the slaw sometime. I don't like kraut

That is very close to truth, at least when I was younger (the Chinese food part...I am still training on the shape shifting and usually have a hard time transitioning back from being a rat). I think these days the Chinks (please note the initial capitalization to appease the social justice types) will use dairy in a lot of stuff, but back in the 70s it definitely was the case that if you could get them to stop putting pork in everything, the dairy/meat issue was a non-issue since they rarely used any dairy in meat dishes. Now, I believe that they'll put dairy in batter for fried dishes, etc..

I think even the Slopes know that the hooked nosed people love their food. When I was in the army in the 80s, there wasn't much for restaurants in the holy land but for some reason, a bunch of boat people ended up in Israel and they opened up Chinese restaurants in the middle of the Negev. It was better than a mirage for me...ice cold cokes and legit chow mein, even though them fuggers were Vietnamese. I bet they made a fortune off of my people and then got the hell out.

They have and we did.

Not for me...for me, mayo reminds me of being an altar boy.

Was that back when you had access to decent food?

TORAH TORAH TORAH!

Thanks Remsen.

Is this a Mayo/semen joke?

Or a Christianity joke?

Or both?

I take it as read.



You know Jews dont have a sense of humor.

I'm sorry, I just realized that I may have inadvertently insulted Christians. What I meant was that when I was an altar boy, the priests used to put mayo on their cawks to get us to put them in our mouths. I didn't mean to imply anything about semen.

LMFAO

You still don’t have TV, do you?

Finally got Ahhlectrik last year.

See Flave?


I was right. He aint no Larry the Cable Guy.

I was going to get one, but didnt have anything to hook it up to.

beef and cheese together isn't Ⓚ

Parve, anyway.....

You would think in this "green" technology age, someone would be making a cow-chip burner TV model for Jim.

I'll take my Reuban with sauerkraut. Growing up, we would make our own, and put it up in one or two quart jars. It was not uncommon for our mother to have to get a second jar , as we might eat most of the first one before it even made it to the table, cold, out of the jar.

If she didn't catch us, that is.

Speaking of which, the Chabad rabbi for the great state of Montana was just up in your area and sent this to the congregation. If you sensed a great disturbance in the force, it was from this guy. I assume he is referring to meat processing plants and he was not assaulted by a certain numbnuts in Big Sandy.

"A Rose in Havre!

Rabbi Chaim Bruk

In a few hours, Menny and I will head home to Bozeman for Shabbos, after our 1,100 mile, 36-hour, trip, ensuring the Kosher status of plants in Great Falls, Cut Bank, Shelby, Tiber, Chester, Havre, Big Sandy, Fort Benton, Denton and Ulm. It was a lot of driving, but I was able to enjoy sunrise near Valier and to say a prayer in Joplin where the Amtrak train crashed a few weeks back. It’s always nice to spend time where the Rockies meet the Plains. The trip’s aha moment was when I surprised my friend at his office in Havre and was able to quickly Lay Tefilin with him while he took a break from a meeting.

In this week’s Torah portion, Chayei Sarah, we read about Eliezer, the devoted servant of Abraham, heading north to find a wife for Isaac. When he detects Rebecca’s incredible kindheartedness, he recognizes that she’s the one and the rest is history. The Midrash tells us that young Rebecca was like “a rose plucked from among thorns”. The thorns, the harsh childhood with wicked relatives, made her the beautiful rose that she was; it strengthened her, it brought out the very best in her. Yet, when the time was up, when she was ready for marriage, Abraham didn’t procrastinate, he sent Eliezer to bring her home, to the home Abraham and Sarah, the home of Isaac.

There are flowers and then there are roses. There is something really touching about a Mitzvah preformed on the high-line. Yes, every Mitzvah is special and precious in Hashem’s eyes, but I must believe that the more distant the geographical location, the further one is from an active Jewish community, the more meaning the Mitzvah takes on. It’s hard being a lone rose, the soul yearns for connection and it’s challenging to quench the spiritual thirst alone. I enjoyed my time with my brother up north, because it reminded Hashem that His roses are aromatic and beautiful no matter where they may live.

G-d enjoys each rose! "

I just ate a BLT sandwich.

I make the bacon myself.

I start with Sysco Heavy Duty Mayonnaise.

Tomato, lettuce, bacon and cracked wheat bread.

PLUS a slice of American cheese.

Remsen would love it.

.

I don't know.....


Would Issac like a Hutterite wife?

Unlikely, but I'll sure as Hell try and if not, I can always save half for lunch the next day.

He is just jealous.

That would be like 50 dollars in Australia.

It's 115ish
All I been seeing is does and fawns.
9 total came thru
Call it a day in area 21.
Post is closed 1 to 21 nov for hunting
Tn ml 2 week season starts next saturday.


And this thread about fugging sandwiches 🥪🥪🥪aint helping me staying out here anymore thats for fugging sure.....

Azzholes....
😄😄😄😁😁😁


Been seeing that grilled cheese double cheese burger Sonic commercial...


🤔🤔🤔

make my own sauerkraut.

Katz's Deli will send enough fixins to make 4 sandwiches for $110.

Free shipping!

That would assume that the Australian jack-booted, fascist thugs wouldn't beat him to death while he's on his way to the forcefully closed Delicatessen to purchase said Reuben sammich.

You obviously had cell reception there - ever heard over Uber Eats?

Anyone try one of these - anyone's favorite?

Arby's horsey sauce!

I believe that's smegma.

That is not a Reuben.

The pic in the OP is making me hungry. Love me a Reuben sandwich.

I bet while you all are pretending to be so cultured with your authentic Reuben's you also eat a slice of German Chocolate cake afterwards.

For you guys wondering about coleslaw on your Reuben - My man, Smokin' Joe, picks Reuben with coleslaw in taste test.

Taste test starts @9:37.

Tonight I had a Reuben for dinner. But instead of rye, I used a tortilla. I also skipped the corned beef and sauerkraut, and went with ground beef, refried beans, guacamole, and some sour cream. I added a bit of cheddar cheese to make it authentic.

I love them made with Pumpernickel bread....

I don’t think that idiot is going redefine the Reuben.

But thanks.

Please kill yourself.

Looking at this picture again tonight i can see only one thing that is missing.

Needs to be more of those pickles around.

Sauerkraut ranks up there with beer. Coleslaw has no place on a Reuben and neither does turkey or pumpernickel bread. There’s plenty of ways to make sandwiches so need to Fugk up a Reuben with your abominations.

+ 2 on the coleslaw instead of kraut.But,my new sandwich is: thin breaded chicken cutlet on seeded Italian hero ,with Swiss,coleslaw,and Russian dressing,damm good.

Coleslaw on a Reuben?

WTF?

The sandwich would no longer be a Reuben then.....................by definition.

Might as well have a pulled pork Monte Cristo.

Sheesh

Or put Cheese Whiz on your manicotti.

If anyone here ever goes to Grice's Gun Shop in Clearfield Pa stop at Denny's Beer Barrel and try their Reuben burger. It's kind of ruined me from trying anything else on the menu because every time I go that's what I have to have.

I've never had the opportunity to have a Reuben pizza but I'd like to try one.

Drain well and fry the kraut in bacon grease. 👍

Not for me!

I don't like sauerkraut.

Local pizza and sub place has a "Reuben" sub. Now the rolls are not Rye, so not technically a Reuben. Thanks Deflave.

Here is where your flattop grill shines. I have them add banana peppers to the mix as they mash it all together. The heated pepper juices make it killer....
.... and the wife loves the nuclear farts.

I do love a real Reuben on rye.

Going to give that a try next time I am through there which should be later this month.

Know whats for lunch Thursday or Friday.

You won't be disappointed, it's great.

Barf me out. Gag me with a spoon

Sorry man - forgot you were a purist.

Don't go up there much anymore, and never tried Denny's even though we come in right past it. By the ethanol plant.

Thank for the tip, might take a drive.
80 miles one way, gas is as expensive as the lunch!

I’d highly recommend making one and trying it.

Well, somewhat.

I'll eat a cheesecake made with cream cheese, but a truly good cheesecake is made with baker's cheese.

I mean, regarding the cole slaw on a sammich and calling it a Reuben. Really now. If I bring my 6.5 Swede to Creedmoor, Long Island, can I now call it a 6.5 Creedmoor

A Reuben is a Reuben. Wanna put something else on it, call it a Charlie, or a Farley, or a Roberto or something.............it's not a Reuben.

And cheese wiz in a manicott?

Yikes.

Note to self, never open a food related thread after 2:00 AM.... peanut butter and crackers just isn't helping.

As far as I know I'm not currently acquainted with any Liberal/progressive American Jews. On the off chance I ever find myself eating a meal with one I wanted to be better prepared to make a well informed horrified (snarky) comment about "You don't eat Kosher???!" so I looked it up.

This looks um, challenging.



What Is Kosher Food?

Kosher food is any food or beverage that Jewish dietary laws allow a person to eat. It isn’t a style of cooking. Keeping kosher is much more complex than that. Rules are the foundation of kosher food.

Rooted in history and religion, each law is specific about what types of food you can and can't eat. The laws are also strict about the way you prepare, process, and inspect food if you're going to call it kosher.

Keeping kosher is a commitment. It governs what you eat and the way you prepare your meals and use your kitchen and dishes every day. But anyone can eat kosher food. You probably have kosher items in your pantry right now.

Are kosher foods only for Jewish people?

Not all Jewish people keep kosher, and kosher foods aren't just for Jewish people. For example, some soft drinks are kosher, and people of all backgrounds and religions drink them.

Is kosher food easy to find?

There's a kosher version of almost every food and drink in the world. Almost half of all foods you find in a package are kosher. Many supermarkets have kosher food sections.

Kosher Food History
Scholars believe that Jewish dietary laws may be the first food laws on record. The general principles of keeping kosher are in the Torah, part of the Jewish bible. It has commandments -- called mitzvahs -- to follow as ways to obey God. Keeping kosher is one of them.

The dietary laws haven't changed from what the Torah commanded, but they've grown over the years to keep up with technology.

Kosher Food Categories
It starts out simple. Kosher foods fall into three categories: meat, dairy, and "pareve," sometimes spelled "parve."

Meat. Kosher meat comes from animals that have split hooves -- like cows, sheep, and goats -- and chew their cud. When these types of animals eat, partially digested food (cud) returns from the stomach for them to chew again. Pigs, for example, have split hooves, but they don’t chew their cud. So pork isn’t kosher.

Jewish dietary law governs the method of slaughter and processing and the slaughterhouse equipment. Meat isn’t kosher if the animal died naturally. Certain parts of an animal, including types of fat, nerves, and all of the blood, are never kosher.

Dairy. All dairy products, like milk, butter, yogurt, and cheese, must come from a kosher animal. All ingredients and equipment used to produce it have to be kosher, too.

Pareve. This is the category for kosher foods that aren't meat or dairy. It covers everything from eggs and fish to fruits, vegetables, pasta, coffee, and packaged foods.

There are multiple layers of laws beneath these three. Here are just a few:

You can't eat milk and meat products at the same time, put them on the same dishes, or prepare or eat them with the same utensils. You also have to wait a certain amount of time to eat milk after meat and vice versa.
Fish is kosher if it has both fins and scales, like salmon, bass, or trout.
Sea creatures that don't have fins and scales aren't kosher. This includes shellfish, crabs, shrimp, and lobster.
Only a few cheeses are kosher. That's because they include an enzyme called rennet that comes from the stomachs of cows. Kosher cheese can't have animal-based rennet.
Plant-based foods
Plant-based foods are pareve, but they have their own set of kosher guidelines:

Bread and grains. Grains used to bake bread are kosher, but bread is only kosher if it’s certified kosher. This is to make sure the baking process didn’t add non-kosher ingredients and the equipment used for baking wasn’t greased with fats or oils from animals.

Fruits and vegetables. Fresh produce is pareve, but you have to check it for insects before eating because they aren’t kosher. If you find any, you can wash them off. Canned or frozen produce isn’t kosher if it was processed using non-kosher equipment or ingredients.

Nuts seeds, and oils. Nuts and seeds are kosher in their natural form. But if they’ve been processed, they have to be certified kosher. Oils have to come from ingredients that were kosher in the first place, then be certified kosher to ensure they didn’t come in contact with non-kosher ingredients when they were processed.

Wine. In order to be kosher, wine must be prepared under strict rules and certified by an Orthodox rabbi.

Kosher food restrictions

Extra restrictions apply during the Jewish holiday of Passover. In addition to all the other kosher guidelines, Jewish people don’t eat anything with grain that has risen or fermented. These forbidden foods are called “chametz.”

Foods that aren’t kosher for Passover include breads, pastas, beers, liquors, and more.
The only grain product that may be kosher for Passover is matzah, and it must be certified.
Processed foods, including matzah, must have a label saying they are kosher for Passover. Look for a “P” next to the seal that certifies it’s kosher.
Kosher meat, fish, and chicken and fresh produce are kosher for Passover as long as they didn’t come into contact with chametz.
Observant Jewish people scour their kitchens, dishes, pots, pans, and utensils to make sure they have no trace of chametz.
Kosher Food Certification
Kosher certifications are on the packaging of any product considered kosher:

A "K" means kosher certified. If the "K" is in a circle, it means the company OK Kosher Certification approved the product as kosher.
When there's a "D" after the "K," it means the product has dairy or that processing equipment that handles this food also handles dairy. The rules for dairy products apply when you eat that item. For example, you can't eat it with meat.
The word "pareve" or "parve" after the kosher symbol means it's neutral -- not dairy or meat, but still kosher. A "U" in a circle means the same thing.
A "P" means the product is kosher for the Jewish holiday Passover, which has its own dietary laws.
Are There Any Health Benefits to Keeping Kosher?
Most Jewish people who keep kosher do so because the Torah says to, not for health reasons. But kosher symbols on products mean that each ingredient, even food additives, meets strict regulations. It's especially helpful if you have allergies to certain foods like dairy products.

You might also appreciate kosher food labels if you are vegetarian or vegan. Kosher food packaging must note when the food shared equipment with meat or dairy.
