/noun/ ˈstər-dē ɡal
A towering, no-nonsense Midwestern sandwich built to fuel the kind of woman who can split firewood before breakfast, cheer through a -20°F Packers game in short sleeves, and still have room for seconds.
Construction (built in this exact order, no substitutions, no mercy):
• Thick-cut deli swirl rye, griddled in butter until the marble pattern looks like a blizzard sky
• Heap of house-smoked corned beef, still warm, piled so high it threatens structural failure
• Double cheese layer: nutty Swiss melted first for glue, followed by creamy Havarti that oozes like fresh snow sliding off a tin roof
• Stack of crunchy dill pickles thick enough to make you pucker in three states
• Aggressive schmear of coarse deli mustard that clears sinuses from Minneapolis to Milwaukee
• Served with a cup of rich beef au jus for shameless dipping until the bottom slice surrenders completely

Origin myth: The Sturdy-Gal Sandwich was created in the iron-range kitchens and church basements of Minnesota and Wisconsin by women who consider “hotdish” a food group and “uff-ta” a complete nutritional philosophy. The prototype was slapped together the night a group of sturdily built women decided a regular Reuben was “cute” but not enough to get them through a double shift at the plant followed by snow-blowing the neighbor’s driveway.
One bite explains why these women don’t just endure winter—they bully it into submission, then send it home with Tupperware.
Warning: May cause uncontrollable urges to buy a pickup truck, adopt a rescue lab, and say “ope” when bumping into strangers. Consume at your own risk; fragility not covered under warranty.
