1000 Island for corned beef, mustard for turkey.

 

[AAABatteries]

Dijon?  Aren't you just eating a corned beef sandwich with mustard at that point?  Or do you plan to make it like a Reuben and substitute Dijon for Russian dressing?

 

[Angry Beavers]

Russian is the only answer here.  Thousand Island is acceptable. Dijon = ?

If it's Turkey it isn't a Reuben though...

You should have stopped after your first sentence.

I go through buckets of dijon each month, love the stuff on most everything. But a reuben?  No way.

If it's not corned beef, it's not a reuben ... at least not a traditional one

A standard 1,000 Island dressing is weak.  I personally make a better 1,004 Island dressing.

Atlantis, Monster Island, Lesbos, and Meepos.

Atlantis, Monster Island, Lesbos, and Meepos.

Dang, I figured Alcatraz could give it some much needed flair.

I've become a fan of sauerkraut recently, but up until not long ago, I didn't like kraut, Russian dressing, or Swiss cheese in any other context on their own...but love them all together on a Reuben.

Save the dijon for a Cuban.

 

[gianmarco]

Which for my apple pie?

Apples or peaches?

 

[gianmarco]

I'm going to go make some chocolate chip cookies.  Should I use chocolate chips or raisins?

 

[RC94]

Neither.  I put Gulden Spicy Brown Mustard on it or ask the deli to put mustard on it.  Never Dijon, though.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Russian dressing and home made sauerkraut.

 

[Epic Problem]

I’ll stab the son of a ##### that puts Dijon on a Reuben

While I do agree with the thought that it has to have thousand island to be a reuben, I'm a big fan of the mustard on an otherwise similar sandwich.  Actually had one yesterday and the cafeteria had them pre-made with thousand island, so I strayed...I didn't mind it, but it didn't add to the sammy the way I think mustard does.

 

[xulf]

Thousand Island or Brown Mustard.  What's with this Dijon garbage?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Hate the 1,000 Island dressing.  All the recipes I see for Russian dressing look like 1,000 Island (or close).  

What the hell?  I grew with the reddish-purple stuff as Russian dressing.  

I like that stuff.  

 

[Doug B]

Hmmm ... Googling around at homebrew Russian dressing recipes, it looks like Russian dressing is really close to Lousiana's remoulade sauce. And neither are all that far from what's often called "come-back dressing" in parts of the rural South (esp. Mississippi).

@tipsy mcstagger @Henry Ford @SaintsInDome2006 ... what say you guys? Russian dressing and remoulade sauce close enough for substitution?

 

[Henry Ford]

I'll take remoulade over Russian dressing every single time on any food at all.

Never tried it on a Reuben, but remoulade rocks on a wide variety of other sandwiches (fried oyster poboy with remoulade  mmmmm).

 

[Epic Problem]

I decided to try an Arby's Reuben because of this thread.  I will not make that mistake again.

Between that monstrosity and what they're trying to pawn off as a gyros, the place should be carpet bombed.

@tipsy mcstagger

Hm to echo Henry remoulade always and every way above Russian in every instance and on everything.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

And if Tipsy is listening someone could probably make a killing locally off a “remoulade Reuben” if anyone ever tries it.

I feel like I'm about to ask a stupid question but isn't Russian Salad Dressing and Russian Dressing on a Reuben two different things? 

If they are the same thing then I may have just had my mind blown.*

*I'm also a moron

A Rachel (pastrami reuben) is a far superior sandwich to a Reuben 

I thought a Rachel is with coleslaw and a Reuben is with sauerkraut, meat is interchangeable

No.  Thousand island on mine or GTFO
