Reubens vegetarian (was: Re:Cabbage Soup~ Sherry)

[Guest guest]

Nope, never had one. Traditional reubens are made

with corned beef and saurkraut, and my family was

never fond of any of those ingredients, so i never had

one. Then as i became a vegetarian i just went with

what i knew as familiar taste-wise and adjusted

recipes as i needed to. Lately though i have been finding

myself curious about trying those dishes i was never

served while growing up... saurkraut is high on my

list of new flavors to try soon. i have only hesitated

due to having asked my dh if he likes it, but he doesn't,

and i don't think i can eat a whole package or can of it,

and what if i hate it, too? *lol* He said he would eat

a little, but it wasn't something he liked a lot of.

He has had traditional reuben sandwiches in NYC

and liked those very well, but he is a meat-eating omnivore

still.

Your veg reuben sandwich sounds good. i will have to try it.

What is your favorite brand of saurkraut?
