My Dad put mustard in a slice of white bread, then fried fat back after removing the rind, then a layer of white onions, another slice of bread.

I have long been a fan of Reuben sandwiches. I went out to lunch with a friend and she ordered a Rachel sandwich. I had never heard of it before. I do live a fairly boring life.

There was a small grocery store by my hardware store that had been there longer than I have lived in Colorado. It recently changed ownership. One of the new owners went to h.s. and played soccer with my daughter, so I went in to see what the store was like. They are actually a spin off from another small grocery store a few miles away that evidently has around 30 different sandwich choices. As a small grocery store that carries specialty items, it is not a cheap place to shop. You can get a deli made sandwich for around $15. I took a copy of the sandwich menu home. Will I make all of these sandwiches? Probably not, but knowing the recipe options is interesting to me, someone whose most frequent sandwich is grilled cheese, likely 9 out of 10 times that I have a sandwich. I will try some of these sandwiches.

Many things are higher priced now, but I realize that these deli sandwiches can be made at home, if you have the ingredients.

I worked with a man who was often making deli sandwiches for himself for his lunch. Now I wonder if he had worked in a place that made deli sandwiches?

What is involved in deli sandwiches? Particular kinds of bread seem to be involved, such as a Ciabatta roll, rye bread, specialty rolls and more. (I've seen a 6 pack of them at Costco for $6). Deli meats and specific cheeses are used. Dressings, and certain other things like sliced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, muffuletta (olive salad) and other potential items. There are a number of recipes for these deli sandwich variations.

With a Heineken dark...magnificent. A ll Juilliard students go on Reuben Quests...even the vegetarians...seeking out NY's very best.

Eisenberg's or Katz's.......they bake their own rye for it...and...it's still warm from the oven. $$$$$ but...whaddya 'spect!

There used to be Schlotzsky's around the Denver area. A girl who played on daughter's soccer team, parents had a Schlotzky's. I never went.

The only one I know of now, is out at the airport. Not inside the airport, but at that "car waiting area" where you can park while waiting for incoming passengers to arrive rather than driving continuously around the loop to passenger pickup and then back out again if they're not there yet. Strange location for a Schlotzsky's if you ask me.

Yes, it is a strange place for one. There was one around 8th and Colorado and one southeast. There may have been more.

Saw this in a canning group. Someone made it and loved it, and canned some of it. No instructions about canning it.

Sandwich Spread Recipe

This homemade sandwich spread recipe is tangy, creamy and crunchy, with all the retro delight of the original. Enjoy this traditional treat on a traditional or open sandwich, or use it as a dip.

This homemade sandwich spread is every bit as good and comes with all the usual benefits of making your own.

It’s fresher, you can adjust it to your own taste and there are no ingredients that make you ask ‘what’s that?’.

Ingredients
Sandwich Spread Sauce
3 tbs mayonnaise (full fat)
3 tbs salad cream
2 tsp pickle vinegar
1 tsp English mustard (or other smooth mustard to taste)
Vegetables (About one generous cup in total once chopped)
1 stick celery
6 small gherkins
1 small carrot
½bell pepper
1 tbs capers
2 spring onions
Other crunchy, non watery vegetables of choice
Instructions
Put the mayonnaise, salad cream and mustard into a medium mixing bowl, along with 2 teaspoons of vinegar from the jar of gherkins or pickles and mix well.
Prepare the vegetable by peeling, cutting into thin batons and then dicing finely.They need to be small, but not so fine they don’t have any texture.
Add the diced vegetables to the mayonnaise mixture, season with pepper and salt and mix well.
Store in a jar in the fridge and use within 3 days.
Notes
How long does sandwich spread keep?

Up to three days in a sealed jar in the fridge.

The spread will get a bit thinner after a day or so as the water comes out of the vegetables.

How can I change the flavour?

You can mix up the vegetables to suit what you have available and to take account of personal preferences. I think that the celery, gherkins and carrot are essential, but beyond that you can mix it up and even add some crunchy fruit! Just don’t use watery salad vegetables like cucumber or tomatoes.

For an upmarket variation, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat, and/or a generous amount of chopped fresh herbs. Parsley, dill or coriander (cilantro) would all be delicious.

Include other non-watery vegetables in season to taste:

radishes
kohlrabi
asparagus
crunchy apple
green beans

Salad cream is an English salad dressing like mayonnaise but thinner and more vinegary. It was made popular by Heinz in the UK in 1914 and it is quite delicious! Hope that helps

I miss Schlotzskys. There used be one up near our daughter's place but it's been long gone now. I'd like to get the recipe for their bread.

thin slice fresh tomato
leafy greens
spicy mustard
sprinkling of Spike, the awesome seasoning
thinly sliced avocado for variety
thinly sliced cucumber too

Or this one:
hummus on whole grain bread
And all the usual suspects ingredients as listed above

I used to love Reuben or Rachel sammiches. Club sammiches.
@Morgan101 I enjoy tuna sammiches too. thinly sliced onion. Spike. Avocado. minced cucumber. Slice of tomato.

My girls used to fix tuna melts. No thanks.

I tend to like most anything between slices of bread. That to help keep the sticky off my fingers and shirt front.. A few of my more unusual favorites depending on mood..

Peanut butter and sweet onion.
Peanut butter and dill pickle, maybe once a year.
Peanut butter and canned clams in oil. This one of my dads favorites.
Like said, Ruben maybe 2-3 times once a year.
Most anything you can put a fried egg on, or just a fried egg.
