VERNON, CT — Yes, the famed Rein's Deli case certainly has the meats.

The corned beef.

The pastrami.

Even the chopped liver for those considering that a meat.

But, in a light-hearted social media post this week, Vernon's landmark restaurant had this to say:

"So ... you thought Rein's Deli was just a deli meat and cheese sandwich kind of place?"

That was followed by a picture of that very idea on a sandwich and several responses to the tune of "yummy."

In addition to the veggie sandwich, there's a hummus vegetarian on the menu. The vegetarian chili and side dishes also count.

So does what is arguably the signature side — the half-sour pickles.

Said Rein's: "We've had these sandwiches for 54 years now. See what you've been missing ..."

Said one repeat customer from another state, " I absolutely love your veggie reuben. Anytime I'm in the area, I make it a point to visit and indulge."
