Ahem - Arby's

[Leah]

Yack. Please tell me the Rancher's Reserve Ribeyes from Tom Thumb aren't fake and glued together...

[Mike]

It's good mood food.

That explains how they make so much money then. They don't seem to be spending very much on their products and then somehow turn it into something edible.

Very gross. But then again, I think most of the food we eat is like that somewhere along the line cuz business has to make money on it some way.

and fast food palces, like mcd's, wendys is very very rare

[suckerdin]

wah.

it's just like the old taco bell thread. If it's good, i'm gonna eat it.

[STANGGT40]

arbys doesnt taste good and recently enough it's become horribly overpriced.
liquid dick meat or not, it's not worth going to.

that's what surprises me...it's pretty expensive for fake meat!

Well. Fuck.

Don't feel bad he burst my bubble on the HEB filets a few months ago in the food forum, I've had 3 or 4 sitting in my freezer ever since. I was grilling them once a week too lol, now I pony up for some sirloin or NY Strip and just eat steak less often.

I'd like to see this stuff doesn't bother me, but clearly it does since I haven't eaten one of those filets since.

[GhostTX]

Well. Fuck.

dont let this thread ruin your taste for arbys,lunch meat,hot dogs, hot links, store bought filet's and most all fast food and cheap store bought meat.

this is what the world has come to..Its still very very tasty is it not???

This.

I'll "spoil" myself with meat-products about once a week and fast-food about every other week. A little never hurts.

I used to eat Arbys Beef and Cheddar about once or twice a year. It always gave me the shits and now I know why.

[dblack1]

Most of what makes it is a meat glue, or binder if you will.

Arbys takes a gelled fat, containing the glue, meat filler, and coloring, and makes a hunk of meat that tastes heavenly when heated and sliced thinly with some horsy sauce.


Most lunch meats are done this way, as a matter of fact, most lunch meats are absolutely terrible for your health.

So are wheat products.

Conversion of a gelatinous "protein substance" into slices via roasting?

Pretty much. With a few additional additives.
This was back in 2002 that I was in the plant. So it's a distant memory. I do remember the guy I was walking with saying "Wanna see some nasty shit?"

Fibramix/fibrimex. My buddy works for one of the largest beef processors in North America. It's scraps and trimmings, literally, glued together to resemble a filet/tenderloin. I don't even want to know what the "bacon" is.

Cargill?
