    Using what you got for this Reuben Coleslaw Recipe

    This recipe is all about using what you’ve got, if you already have Russian or Thousand island dressing go ahead and use it. If you have pastrami but no corned beef, no big deal.

    I’ve actually made a Turkey Rachel version of this that’s fantastic buy subbing the corned beef for turkey breast and skipping the sauerkraut.

    I think I actually spent more time cleaning up the kitchen and photographing this recipe than it actually took to make it.

    Is a Reuben Sandwich Irish??

    Simply put, No, not at all. Though the true origins of this sandwich are heavily contested I can confidently say that the combination of rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss and thousand island dressing was not born from Irish soil.

    One claim is that a hotel in Omaha Nebraska first created the sandwich while others claim that the sandwich made its debut in a New York deli.

    Corned beef & cabbage itself is not traditional Irish fare. Irish immigrants are said to have first discovered corned beef as a substitute for bacon in the late 19th century.

    As it turns out at the time Beef was a more affordable alternative to Pork so many Irish/Americans  would substitute it instead of the salted pork they were used to.

    The Corned Beef was served with cabbage and thus became a traditional Irish American dish served on holidays.

    Today it has become the Quintessential St. Patrick’s Day Dish often served along with boiled potatoes and carrots.
