I don't mind the turkey reuben. It is not, in fact, a reuben, but it is an enjoyable sandwich. Makes you feel slightly better about the fried bread, the gobs of cheese, and the river of dressing.

Damn, now I want a rueben, and may have to be talked out of going to Krupin's. Perhaps the asstastic traffic will dissuade me.

I'm all for turkey ruebens. Bu tnot all low-sodium, no-fat, low-fat bullshit.

Actually, I'm kind of hankering for a rueben now, too. I don't know where nearby I can go to get a good one, though.

Timelies all!

I don't like cole slaw(not a cabbage fan) or sauerkraut. I know, more for everyone else.(I only dislike a few foods, but those I =really= don't like)

I think once you start putting coleslaw with lunch meat you're getting into sloppy joe territory.

(Not the manwich kind, the jersey kind)

Saying you do or don't like coleslaw is kind of like saying you do or don't like food.

Or saying you do or don't like cabbage. Because...ewww...cabbage.

Reubens sound gross, but I doubt I've had one.

I usually see it called a Rachel.

The rueben is a very poly sandwich.

No, Zingerman's has a very loose definition. Honestly, I'm willing to allow a substitution of meat, or even of cheese, but the sauerkraut is what makes it a Reuben. Otherwise, what can't you change? "Can I have a turkey Reuben with cole slaw and provolone, no dressing, on sourdough?"

Actually, of course, I don't really care. Except when ordering -- if I ask for a Reuben, I like to know what I'm getting. There was one horrid occasion which involved mayonnaise... Zingerman's, alas, is not representative of the level of sandwich sophistication in Michigan as a whole.

Mostly I'm putting off proofreading and submitting my application essays.
