Is it possible the Reuben is the greatest sandwich ever invented?

For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s a sandwich consisting of:

Corned beef
Sauerkraut
Swiss cheese
Russian dressing
Rye bread

I make a killer homemade Reuben, and while I was just enjoying it, I thought to myself “this is the King Sammich!”

I give thanks to the Lord for Reubens, for his mercy endureth forever.
I give thanks to the God of gods for corned beef, for his mercy endureth forever.
I give thanks to the Lord of lords for Sauerkraut, for his mercy endureth forever.

Bless us LORD and all these gifts which we have received from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Doggone it. Now you made me hungry. That DOES look good. Probably doesn’t do much for the vegan crew, but the Reuben is one if my favorite Sandwiches as well. Of course, I like every one if its constituent ingredients individually as well as the composite.

Reuben sandwiches are a complete and utter mystery to me.

I abhor sauerkraut to the point that the smell makes me gag. Swiss cheese is my least favorite of all cheeses. And rye bread is my least favorite of all breads. I would never voluntarily eat any of them.

And yet, when you put them together on a Reuben sandwich, I actually like it.

It must be the corned beef. 😄 That I could always eat. 🙂
 
Corned beef and Sauerkraut are just so mouth watering.

I absolutely adore the Reuben Sammich.
 
@Joe_5858

Do you also dislike cabbage in general? Or just fermented cabbage (sauerkraut)?
 
I would say I also dislike cabbage in general.

My experience with the reuben is the same as cran-grapefruit juice. I don’t like cranberry juice. I don’t like grapefruit juice. But I really like cran-grapefruit juice. Tastebuds are a funny thing. 😝
 
That particular vegi seems to conjure up deep feelings. My sis hates cabbage. (And I do mean hates) but loves sauerkraut. Go figure.
 
Lol, kinda like someone who loves raisins but hates grapes or loves cucumbers and hates pickles…

Does she know sauerkraut is just a variously prepared cabbage?
 
The cafeteria at work has Reuben sandwiches on special this week. I was sorely tempted, but I’m on Weight Watchers, and a full sandwich is an entire day’s worth of points plus one. :cry: I had a salmon burger instead.
 
That’s awesome…

Keep it up and this coming Summer this will be you:

I insist on real Russian dressing (even though it’s not actually from Russia).

I won’t take Thousand Island as a substitute!

There is something magical about a Reuben.

It should taste terrible, but when you put it all together, there’s just nothing like it.
 
I agree @FrDavid96. Thousand Island is a common variation, but to me it’s unacceptable which is why I didn’t include it in my list of ingredients.

I just look forward to Reuben sandwiches so much more than any other sandwich. I love coldcut subs, steak subs, turkey clubs, etc. but there is just something so special about the Reuben.

It’s interesting to me to see so many fellow Catholics who think so highly of the Reuben…
 
And whatever you do, dear readers, do not, I SAY DO NOT, order a so-called Reuben from that national chain named after an underground rail system. They are absolutely horrible and an insult to the Czar of Sandwiches.
 
Reuben is my favorite sandwich. The more sauerkraut the better for me. Your picture
of your homemade Reuben is mouthwatering!
I miss the Jewish delis in the town where I used to live. Not a single Jewish deli in my
current town. Arby’s Reubens don’t cut it, but if I am desperate, I will buy one.
 
Absolutely, marble rye is another must.

Anyone who dares use any dressing besides Russian, let him be Anathema.

Anyone who dares use any bread besides marble Rye, let him be Anathema.

By the authority granted to me by my enormous gut, I hereby declare, decree, and proclaim these norms be kept by all foodies from now until the Return of Christ the King.

The best place for corned beef is ALWAYS a good quality Kosher deli. One can always count on getting real corned beef there, as opposed to just beef injected with corned-beef flavorings.

As far as national brands go, nobody can beat Boar’s Head!
