I could've had a Reubin

If I’d had some Swiss chees, I could have had a Reubin sandwich – if I’d had some corned beef.

But I did have some Jewish Rye (what makes it Jewish, anyway?) and a couple of Hebrew National hot dogs and some saurkraut and some medium cheddar. It was almost a Reubin!

So… What do you use to make impromptu versions of “name” foods?

For a Denver omelet, I rarely have ham, so I use salami. If I’m out of regular onions, green onions work fine, although I’ve fallen back on a clove of garlic once or twice. Finally, I don’t buy green peppers at all, and not often red or yellow ones either, so I generally chop up a jalapeno or two. Sometimes I use English muffins as the base.

“Recipes are suggestions, not rules.” - me

Just to make sure (and I swear I’m not making fun; I really want to know)… Is a “Reubin” sandwich the same thing, or different from, a “Reuben” sandwich?

I stand corrected on the spelling.

It’s circumcised.

Thank you! I’ll be here all week! Please, tip your waitress and remember, the love you get is equal to the love you give.

circumcised”? “Tip your waitress?” :eek:

It’s probably because I just read a comic book related thread, but I honestly was thinking that the OP was talking about the comic strip award and not the sandwich when I opened this thread.

Well, the National Cartoonists Association award is the only national award you can eat…

What, like the crust is cut off or something?

Instead of Underwood Deviled Ham Spread, I just take some rotten meat and mix it with sweat,

I was thinkin’ the same thing.
MMMOooooommm! Krokodil’s been using Unholy Rites to read my mind againnnnn!!

Haven’t you ever noticed that one end is always cut off? I thought everyone called it circumsized bread.
I often make Rolled Chicken Washington. But, instead of a filling, I just bake a potato. And instead of chicken, I use rib eye steak. And instead of frying then baking it, I just grill it.

Same way with Eggs Benedict. I usually just fry the fuckers and douse them with Tobasco.
