Eva! A German foregoing the sauerkraut? I'm aghast!

That being said, the most common place I see a Reuben sandwich on the menu is at an Irish restaurant.

Can't get those Irish away from their corned beef and cabbage - even when the cabbage is pickled!

I started to do some googling on the background of this sandwich, but never finished. It appears to have been created here in America, however. I'm sure there has to be some German, Russian, or even Eastern European roots in its creation, however. Some recipes call for Russian dressing instead of the Thousand Island, but I don't think I would like that as well.
