When you said “Reuben” you reminded me of my favorite deli in town only it’s now the ONLY deli in town. Important to`Support Your Local Deli’, so I’ll go there for lunch this week.
I remember their pastrami was to die for and last time I ate there I was tempted, just tempted, to smuggle some pastrami in my coat pocket, order a sandwich, add the extra pastrami so the sandwich stood half a foot high, and when the owner came by I would point to it & marvel, “What a wonderful sandwich! My compliments to the cooks.” But I demurred.
This actually happened at Lindy’s in New York. When Lindy saw the monster sandwich, he screamed, loped into the kitchen & began throwing plates.
Anyway, too much processed/frozen/microwaveable food, and not enough staples & home cooking. What’s not to understand?

True, dat.
A couple times a year, my husband goes off w/his buddies, so I don’t have to think about cooking for anyone except me and the dog. Several times, I just stocked up on microwave food from the grocery. YUCK! None of it was worth eating.
I think I am going to get a brisket and make corned beef and pastrami. It’s been years since I did it myself, but it was so worth it.
