Oh God that’s so beautiful….

@Q-delta, I agree with Jet, post some of your countries favorite food.

Rueben’s are extremely popular because they’re delicious, they use up leftovers, and they’re actually quite healthy (if you’re like me and do-it-yourself and not buy them at a fast food joint). The meat is cornedbeef cut traditionally–thickly chipped, not sliced, which gives it the somewhat unnattractive look. Other ingredients include saurkraut (no carbs, no sugar, no fat), swiss cheese, toasted rye bread or pumpernickle (rich in fiber and such), and thousand island dressing (low fat is just as good).

Some variations of the sandwich use coleslaw in place of the saurkraut and thousand island dressing–not nearly as good.

I’m from the Pittsburgh area, and sandwiches like this are extremely popular for people on the run or have very little time to eat.

It’s just like a falafel or a random wrap where a bunch random stuff is thrown in it.

The meat’s cooked. It’s cornedbeef, its allowed to settle in a brine before cooking. The brine gives the meat the uncooked appearance. At the grocery store and deli I worked at, we used to sell whole beef roasts in brine for people to cook, as well as the already cooked deli corned beef.

Fan of hard salami? It’s technically not cooked, but rather preserved in salts.
