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.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

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.

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.

All this sandwich talk is kind of making me want a tuna noodle casserole.
It doesn't make sense to me either, but there it is.
