Another variant more common in the United States has sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on rye bread grilled and served hot is known as a Reuben sandwich.[1]
A contraband corned beef sandwich on rye bread brought aboard the Gemini 3 spacecraft by John Young resulted in a minor controversy, for the risk posed to the craft and crew by floating crumbs and lingering odors.[2]
