The problem with cucumber on pizza is the texture -- cucumber simply does
not hold up well to even a tiny amount of heat. Cucumber is perfect sliced
thickly on stout white bread laced generously with cream cheese, then sprinkled
liberally with salt and pepper.
Pizzas require such things as fresh spinach and feta, good ham (canadian
bacon? how does it get that term here?) and pineapple, or artichokes (yes,
yet
again), zuccini, anchovies, shrimp, onions, garlic, and capers.

Not to worry. A Reuben sandwich, by definition, has no dressing on it. That
is
about as solidly apriori, as can be. If you put dressing on it, it no longer
counts as a Reuben sandwich. (It would be like putting cucumbers on a pizza -
another performative self-contradiction.) A tad of mustard is, however,
permissible. No self-respecting deli in Montreal would allow you to put any
salad dressing on your Reuben on restaurant premises. (Montreal being to
Reuben
sandwiches (amnongst others) what Paris is to standard lengths and
measures.) I
thought we clarified all these conceptual points in our previous discussions
on
the necessary and sufficient conditions of chess.
