I've had a hankering for a reuben lately and corned beef brisket is still on sale. I whipped up some marble rye while the brisket cooked. So much better than store bought, at least around me.
$3.47 per sandwich
$3.47
There isn't any place locally that sells rye flour.
Yeah I had to get my rye flour from Walmart. It's fairly pricey too. $.174/oz vs the $.049/oz for bread flour. It's a small package too, only enough for two loaves.
After this I looked around. Sprouts abc Whole Foods are both about 25-30 miles away. Limited selection of only the highest quality rye flour at unreasonable prices for 20 ounces. Amazon was only slightly better per unit cost if I got two.
The last time I made rye there were these things called health food stores that had it cheap. But all of those closed down. There isn't a single place where over priced small pharma that isn't meant to diagnose or treat anything takes up half the square footage within 60 miles of me. I have mixed feelings about that.
Reubens are one of a small number of what I call perfect sandwiches. Which is a lot to unpack, but it comes dish to being fulfilling in its most basic form without the need for extras, even if those extras make the overall experience better.
Not that that's relevant to much, but I think it points to why your simple homemade Reuben is so good compared to your local stores. Everything simple, prepared well, and fresher than typical outside of a proper deli.
The Reuben is also, by a wide margin, my favorite sandwich. It's also one of my favorite meals, period, though picking a single favorite is not realistic for me.
What's great about them is that the basic form allows for personalization within a decent range while still being a proper Reuben. I tend to like to add little spicy mustard on mine alongside the dressing while using seeded kraut, seeded rye, and a young cheese.
I don't really have the ability to corn my own beef, or make my own cheese. And, tbh, my attempts at kraut were less than stellar. But I would enjoy very much trying it, if I had the wherewithal just to see how finely I could tweak the ingredients to my preferences.
I want the pickle.
That looks tasty!
Nom nom nom.
