Rueben Sandwich – Restaurant Style

These gifts were not the possession of the primitive Christians as such; nor for that matter of the Apostolic Church or the Apostolic age for themselves; they were distinctively the authentication of the Apostles. They were part of the credentials of the Apostles as the authoritative agents of God in founding the church. Their function thus confined them to distinctively the Apostolic Church, and they necessarily passed away with it. Of this we may make sure on the ground both of principle and fact; that is to say both under the guidance of the New Testament teaching as to their origin and nature, and on the credit of the testimony of later ages as to their cessation.

INSTRUCTIONS

Here's how we made them in my last few restaurants. This is the
classic version I learned in the 60's in New York. It's been adapted  a
lot since.  Brush one side of the bread with butter and put butter side
down on a  medium hot griddle (or skillet). Lay the cheese slices on
both pieces  of bread and cook for about 4 minutes until starting to
brown. Drain  and put the kraut on the griddle to heat. Put the meat on
the griddle  to heat, turning after about 10 seconds; let heat for
another 30  seconds and put evenly on the bread. Trickle Russian
dressing on the  meat. Put the kraut on one slice of bread and cover
with the other.  Remove from griddle, cut in half and enjoy.  It's the
rare restaurant that uses Russian dressing nowadays but the  difference
is real. Most people use Thousand Island and it's good, but  lacks the
tangy richness of the Russian dressing. Your call.  Posted to EAT-L
