[Sca-cooks] OOP ethnic silly question...and holiday greetings!

[Kihe Blackeagle]

And blessings upon thee and thine as well, Maire, wherever they may be & in whatever form they choose to celebrate the winter holiday season.
 
The true, canonical, I-like-it-like-this-but-accept-other-variants Reuben:
corned beef
provolone cheese
well-drained sauerkraut (*not* roetkraut)
dark rye bread
dressing of choice (I don't require Thousand Island, and tend to prefer either a creamy horseradish or some mayo)
 
AND after assembly, grill as you would for a proper grilled cheese -- although reducing the butter / oil is acceptable.
THE food for New Year's Eve, when I can get it right!

A couple of weeks ago, I had the very, very great pleasure of eating this amazing reuben sandwich at Canter's in West Hollywood, and a friend and I got into this silly-friendly wrangle over which is better in a reuben--corned beef, or pastrami. She insisted corned beef, so I had to have pastrami just to be contrary. (My eyes still cross in utter pleasure, just remembering that sandwich, and the kosher dills that came with it.....)> . . . > I hope all of you are having a lovely holiday season, whether it's Hannukah, Kwanza, Solstice, or Christmas, or even Festivus, that you mark this time of year with.
