I have two:

The Reuben is the One True Sandwich. The leanest corned beef possible,
heated and layered evenly; drain and rinse the sauerkraut, mix it with
mayonnaise and heat it up. Pumpernickel, although caraway rye is a
tolerable second choice. Toast the bread, and put the sandwich,
open-faced, under the broiler to melt the cheese. Accompany with a
half-sour or really crispy kosher dill pickle, Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda,
and potato chips. Russian and thousand island dressings do not belong on a
reuben sandwich. Ever ever ever ever ever.


Bologna on white bread with American cheese and yellow mustard, no white
goo.[I will eat white goo if it is intimately involved with tuna or
chicken, or if it is a turkey sandwich with lettuce on white bread.]
Sometimes with lettuce if I'm feeling flippant. Never tomato. Potato
chips or Fritos to accompany. Bakery white bread, or Brownberry. Milk or
lemonade to drink, since I can't drink grape Kool-Aid anymore.


Then there's what I refer to as "white trash cheese and crackers", which
is American slices on Saltines. ;-)
