I haven't had an Arby's roast beef in a loooong time, but IIRC, it's the same texture as Buddig meats:
I have hd it twice on one occasion..... the first time and the last time. I thought it was disgusting. There was an Arbys on the same block as our office. It was next to a strip mall with a German deli where I could get a real roast beef sandwich and a soft drink for less than the Arbys "beef" sandwich. If the deli sandwich was not enough you could buy a second one, and the two of them were still cheaper than one at Arbys.
That's VERY hard to believe. Arby's is pretty awful, but they are also pretty cheap. Fairly recently, they had regular sandwiches 5/$5, and most recently 5/$5.55.
Me too. If spouse gets the Arby's "beeph" sandwich, I might get the chicken or chicken cordon bleu sandwich.
Norm Peterson: [about his and Cliff's meal at The Hungry Heifer] Yeah, Cliffy had himself the tunnel T-bone. For less than four bucks, you get 24 ounces of USDA choice US bef.
Cliff Clavin: Bef? You mean beef.
Norm Peterson: Beef? Don't be ridiculous Cliffy, that stuff is bef. You see, it's a Hungry Heifer trademark for a processed, synthetic, what... , meat-like substance.
Cliff Clavin: Ohh, Norm.
Norm Peterson: What do expect for four bucks? Do you hear me complain about the loobster?

Heh heh heh 😉 I may have seen the 'beeph,' er 'bef,' but I've never come across 'loobster'!

At the time, the deli sandwiches were $1.35 and you got a soft drink with it.

From the Arby's website, under "printable ingredients list" Roast Beef: Trimmed Boneless Beef Chunks (Minimum 70%) Combined With Chopped Beef For a Maximum of 12% Fat. Contains up to 9.0% of a Self-Basting Solution of Water, Salt, Sodium Phosphate. -- Dave www.davebbq.com
So, it's sort of a synthesized beef product, somewhat like boneless ham, another synthesized meat product. I never would have thought of that.
Is there a product that is sold in the average supermarket that would be similar to the "beef" in an Arby's roast beef sandwich?
Chipped beef.
Not necessarily, some chipped beef is made from real beef and is simply frozen and thin sliced beef. Check out my post further up in this thread about how it is made.

I did.
I don't eat at Arby's. Have not in years. Last time I tried it, their beef tasted like pure salt. Overwhelmed any trace of meat flavor. Might as well take spoonfulls straight out of the salt shaker.
[censored] substitute for [censored]? What's the point? :-)
I'll roast a beef if I want it or make thin sliced rare steak sandwiches. -- Peace, Om

It could also be a piece of roasted beef.
Sure, but Arbys hasn't had real meat for years. I remember when I was in college there was a nearby Arbys where you could see them slicing real meat which kids who worked there said was real meat roasted in the store. Some time after that they began using space meat. Even their "horsey sauce" can't be called horseradish sauce because apparently there is some space product which is cheaper and can be stored for 20 years which doesn't contain horseradish.
There's a place in St. Paul that people older than me say has meat pretty much like the "old Arby's." In case anyone's in the area and interested (that's St. Paul in Minnesota USA, by the way):

This thread makes me wish I could find the curly fries seasoning recipe somewhere.
Heck, this thread's made me hungry for an Arby sandwich or two. Next time I'm in the neighborhood of the one I know I'll proably stop in.
I remember having some good Arby's sandwiches in other places we lived. Unfortunately, around here they're really horrible.
I hope the one on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is still one of the good ones. 🙂
And what a colorful place. Why, one time when I was there I'd just sat down to eat when I heard POP! and looked up to see some guy just outside the front door shooting at some other guy who was riding away - hurredly - on a bicycle. POP! Put his pistol a way and came in and ordered. Oh...and he didn't seem to hit the guy on the bike.
