You motherfuckers are grossing me the fuck out. God Damnit, I USED to like Arby's.

Big Montana does not approve. "Ingredients on the package said Water, Salt, Food-grade Phosphates, Beef(appx 5%)"

I think bcoop is a crazy person.

Maybe. But I've been called worse, and I have first hand knowledge on this particular subject.

I am curious about the Arbys meat though..What is it? Just a bunch of fillers and Mechanically separated Beef?

A few, and I mean few small chunks of beef, seasoned beef broth, with several powdered fillers to make a thicker slurry, frozen, then cooked in an oven. I know the broth, fillers, and small chunks part is true. I'm guessing on the frozen part.

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

More to it than that. It's more about what goes in it. And the fact that they call it "beef", when it arrives to the stores in chubbs as a liquid.

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.

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?"

Cargill?

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.

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.

[HarrisonTX]

Well. Fuck.
