Fake liquid non beef... yeah enjoy that shit guys :( Gross

I thought this thread was going to be about meaty vaginas :(

if that's the case that's ridiculous - if you can't make a profit when you're charging 5 bucks for a real roast beef sandwich then you should be out of business.

i get roast beef subs occassionally from Subway and Mr Sub and it's real roast beef, obviously pre sliced, flavored and frozen - both taste pretty bad actually and if not for mustard and cheese i would never eat them. Arby's tastes better than them.

I tried to explain how it is cooked and formed. They trim away all fat like I said. They would not use prime cuts so there would not be that much marbling. It IS NOT ROASTED, it is steam cooked in the plastic vacuum bag I am almost 100% positive. I hope you do not find veins in your roasts ever though man. Veins are surface things. They would add flavorings, and proteins.

Go look in a store deli soon. Check the sliced roasts. Not only will you often see a shiny look to it, often you will see almost a rainbow like you would on an oil slick. I do think they "roast" it in store but could be wrong. It just is almost 100% or 100% pre cooked by steam before it arrives.

Gyro meat is lamb, unless you're not eating a real gyro.

The 'ingredients' of the Arby's corned beef let's us know it is 100% processed; "Corn Beef, Water, Salt, Sodium Lactate, Sugar, Sodium Phosphate, Flavorings, Sodium Erythorbate and Sodium Nitrite." Corned beef is normally just beef and seasoning.

foodies fight!

twistys tim and aftershock are the best cooks on GFY - every time you guys describe how u make food and post pics i drool for days.

Any meat with that shiny look is processed. It is created by liquefying the meat, adding all types of flavor enhancers and stabilizers and then reforming it into a shape that can be cost effectively sliced and sold. Normally, this is done with all the bits of meat that are too small or odd shaped to package and sell as regular cuts.

all meats are processed in most fast food. its cheaper to have us eat bone and not know it.

Its amazing that people care more about a car than what they put into their body.

Lamb is delicious, but I only meant in the way it's prepped really, a big mass of meat they take slices from.. not really a cut from the animal itself, but more how ASM was describing I thought.

Been forever since I had one, but those Arby's were addicting when I'd get one from time to time. Usually I was there for the mocha shake and curly fries though.

Wait, is arby's the one that had a mocha shake or is that taco bell? Anyway, those were good.

I am going to say now I am about 80% positive that it is done just like turkey deli breasts but if I am wrong I will feel silly as shit

if i wanted to do a mainstream blog i'd pay money for fast food workers to take behind the scenes photos of the raw materials as they arrive at these restaurants and then how they're prepared.

Even fresh tuna gets the oil slick look.
I am just going to do a copy/paste

Rainbow Colors on Meat

I notice sometimes that meat in the display counter at my local butcher shop has a green and magenta sheen to it. What causes this? Is the meat still okay to eat?

What you are noticing is likely a phenomenon referred to as iridescence, or more technically birefringence. Essentially, this is the same effect as light passing through a crystal and splitting into a rainbow of colors, only the rainbow is from light reflecting off of a surface rather than passing through something. This can happen with either fresh cut or cured meats, and depends mostly on the angle at which the muscle fiber happens to have been cut.

Birefringence is more noticeable on darker colored meats like beef that lighter ones like chicken because the dark background gives greater contrast.

Provided that it is caused by the reflection of light from the surface and not a permanent green color to the meat, it is still safe to eat. You can tell by moving the light source, the meat or yourself to a different position and seeing if the rainbow colors shift or disappea

From what I just read the workers now have to sign a confidentiality agreement saying they won't talk about the meat or they'll be sued. I don't remember signing anything like this but that was a long time ago.

What the meat actually looked like before being placed in the convection oven was like blender liquefied beef with lots of tiny beef roast strings of meat pressed together in a gelatinous goo. It definitely was not a solid cut of meat floating in liquid like they make it sound.

After it was cooked it looked like a big piece of solid meat and we used to drop them on the table cause they bounced like rubber. Thinly sliced it tastes great, just looked like a cow patty before being cooked that's all.
