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.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I don't mind the turkey reuben. It is not, in fact, a reuben, but it is an enjoyable sandwich.
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?"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The cheese, meat, cabbage and russian dressing make it unique enough to me. I don't know of anything else that mixes cabbage and russian dressing. So if it's sour or sweet cabbage, still a rueben.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wikipedia mentions the Rachel (as well as the ::ptui:: coleslaw "variation"): [link]
And in my part of the world you get this: [link] but the cheese isn't melted

Eh... I get what you're saying, but I think the difference between sauerkraut and cole slaw is vast enough that their common ancestor doesn't provide enough of a link.
