Heh- This is brilliant! My hubbie is a vegetarian, but I’m not. I make these all the time with the seitan for him and the real stuff for me. Guess whose cholesterol numbers are better.;)

Just consider it a success that you got Lisa to eat it! Her words to me were, “I don’t like sauerkraut, I don’t like rye, I don’t like pickled things, and I HATE seitan. This is my *dream* sandwich!” She was grousing about it all day before you made it.

Not a big fan of reuben sammies – and I’m an omnivore, so I figure that the vegetarian one would actually be more to my liking.

I never ate Reubens as a meat-eater, but a restaurant here in Houston makes a vegetarian version and I love them. What’s weird is that I dislike so many of the ingredients – pickles, sauerkraut, mayo – but they all work together. I need to try these!

Dana — the “meat” by itself had that usual seitan slight-aftertaste, but as part of the sandwich itself was pretty benign. I liked it!

I’m with you, just too weird not to try. I never liked reubens when I ate meat but I would give this a try. My meat-eating husband loves them, so I wonder if he would like this one.
