Reuben sandwiches....
« on: April 03, 2013, 04:48:55 PM »
Love 'em!

But the big mystery is what salad dressing is the right one? I've used 1000 Island and Blue Cheese. The Blue Cheese seems to work out better.

Any other suggestions? So what salad dressing do you use..........

Blue cheese?  I thought it was always Thousand Island.

I love a good reuben.  It's the first thing I order if I'm in a new restaurant for lunch.

Toasted rye bread, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, corned beef.  I've never had them any other way.  Why mess with perfection?  :-)

Other than not toasting the bread, how is it?

I was thinking Ranch, but maybe the 1000 Island is needed to balance the sauerkraut.  :-)

You have the option of adding extra pastrami.  I went with the regular sandwich.

They didn't toast the bread either time. :mad:

That's strange since some of their other sandwiches are served toasted.

The 1000 Island was okay, and I did try Ranch once and it was okay, but neither came up to Blue Cheese.

Mustard? I'm gonna puke.....where did you ever get that gross idea, undies?

I grill Russian or German black rye along with the corned beef brisket slices and sauerkraut. When the sauerkraut is hot, I put the sandwich together with the swiss cheese and dressing, and heat just a tad until the cheese starts to melt.

I use a two sided Lodge grill over two stove top burners:

Many years ago, I made the mistake of buying an off-brand one of those.  It warped and was never level again.  I couldn't use it.

I shan't apologize.  I like corned beef and mustard.  I like pastrami and mustard.  I like Swiss (and all kinds of) cheese and mustard.  I like just about all deli meats with mustard.

I don't like tuna and mustard.

Can't go wrong with one of these. Read some of the reviews.

Lodge is always dependable.  I think I got an off-brand that was made of aluminum.  That thing bent like a Castro Street queer once I put some heat on it.

I won't eat deli meat without the mustard.  Cheese in a sandwich must also have mustard.  Mustard is gooooood stuff.  I love it. 

However, mustard on corned beef is a bridge too far for me.  :tongue:

We have the same taste, in deli foods anyway.  I prefer mustard too.

I like mustard, but it's 1000 island on a Reuben.  Not blue cheese, and that's my favorite salad dressing.

Mustard is my preference too.  I'll even put it on leftover roast beef or turkey for sandwiches with cheese, of course.

I'll go along with mustard. I love it, too. And it goes well with cold, deli style sandwiches, especially with paper thin sliced beef or ham, and cheese...even bologna!

But a Reuben is a hot, half meal prepared as a grilled sandwich. No pickles or lettuce or tomato.

In high school, I had a girlfriend that put mustard on her french fries because nobody would swipe a few when we would get together at Max's drive-in after school.

She didn't like it either, but nobody snatched her fries!

I'm not picky.  I like yellow, brown and dijon.
