The answer is pastrami and swiss on rye.
What's the question?
π
NOT - corned beef on a Kaiser roll.

What is a Reuben sandwich without sauerkraut and thousand island dressing?
share
Actually a Reuben is corned beef, not pastrami.
π
Not in the delis I go to but I'll concede as none of mine have Reuben on their menus and I just tell them what I want (Which is pastrami!).

Interesting difference. A wise choice on the pastrami!
π
I knew I'd had it properly somewhere before (Probably a few other places too)!
Here's Katz Deli in NYC which displays Reubens as either pastrami or corned beef: https://www.katzsdelicatessen.com/menu_and_local-delivery
I grew up on corned beef and so it's never an option when the alternative is pastrami.
Delis outside of the US and Canada usually have their own specialist items but I make up a standard pastrami Reuben with fatty meat as that's what I like the best.
It also answers your question π
Thanks. I love pastrami for the same reason.
π
PS Some places even offer (gag!) turkey Reubens!
π
I don't mind a bit of turkey with some nice thick ham on a sambo but a turkey Reuben sounds AWFUL!
π€’
Amen!
A sambo?
π
Sambo.
It's the way the cool kids say sandwich.
Now a sambo after a jambo and you are really talking! π
Oh! Like we Old Skol guys might say samich!
π
Exactly!
Now if you can eat a sambo in your Lambo having smoked a jambo while watching Rambo then you are at the top of anyone's game.
Whoa, dude! Fantastic poetry there! But I think I'd rather do all that in my Rolls Royce, or my Porsche.

Btw, did you know that jambo is both hello and goodbye in Swahili? I learned that in Tanzania when I was there in July 2017.
I do know that Jambo is both hello and goodbye in Swahili.
I learned that when I first visited Kenya back in the mid-90's.
I can even sing a little ditty with it being the prominent player in the context.
Here's someone else singing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbMY1aq16rw
You might notice another little phrase in there from a popular movie too π
You've been to Kenya also? Cool. When did you go? You've been more than once? What did you think of the two countries? I visited Kenya right before Tanzania.
Tanzania is obviously the more prosperous country, but I loved them both, especially the grade school children we met in Arusha, Tanzania. They were amazing! They loved having their pictures taken, and seeing them at the back of the camera. They had no electricity or running water in their school, so some of us gave them some money to help. As we arrived, and when we left, they waved and laughed, and shouted "Jambo! Jambo!"
I bought some tanzanite jewelry for a friend of mine, and she loved it. Did you know that's the only place where they mine it?
I like the music in the link, and yes I did notice the phrase from The Lion King.
Jambo!
