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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can kind of understand using Reuben more like Club -- a real club sandwich is turkey and bacon and triple decker, but I'm OK with there being a chicken club on a roll or whatever. I guess.

I would be surprised if there weren't a coleslaw recipie that called for both mayonnaise and ketchup.
