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.

Why the scare quotes? That's not beef?

That's the problem with this newsgroup; if a question doesn't come from
one of your cronies, it isn't taken seriously.

I like Arby's, and I don't have one nearby. I don't want to have to
sample every brand of pseudo-meat at the market to find something that
tastes similar. I had hoped to rely on the experience here so that
wouldn't be necessary; I guess that was too much to ask for.

It has a bunch of other stuff in it. I guess you could call it beef in
the same manner you would call an all-beef hotdog beef.

Even the OP relates it to "pseudo-meat."

From a website:

Arby's seems to be a re-occurring subject of ridicule on the animated
series The Simpsons.

* In the episode Das Bus, Bart Simpson's classmate Terri, (who has
a twin sister, Sherri), once stated, "I'm so hungry I could eat at
Arby's!" after being stranded on an island. After this was said, other
children stranded on the island responded, "Wow, she must be really
hungry." and "Ewww!"
* In A Milhouse Divided, Kirk Van Houten replied "Just throw it
over the fence, let Arby's worry about it!" when asked what to do with
a dead possum.
* In Old Yeller Belly, Marge Simpson said to Lisa Simpson, in
reference to Lisa complaining about something outrageous they both saw
on television, "People do crazy things in commercials. Like eat at
Arby's."
* In Treehouse of Horror XVII, after eating a green-alien-blob
that tries to escape his mouth, Homer says, "If I can keep down
Arby's, I can keep down you."

On Sept 6, you wrote:
"Interesting; I think that's the same stuff they put into turkeys to
make
them "self-basting". I don't like it in turkeys, so seeing a good
steak
ruined would bug me even more."
Yet, according to what Dave Bugg just posted, Arby's "beef" "Contains
up to 9.0% of a Self-Basting Solution of Water, Salt, Sodium
Phosphate."
Wow, "I think that's the same stuff they put into turkeys to make them
'self-basting.'"

Probably pre-packaged roast beef if your local supermarkets carry it.
Next time you go shopping ask at the customer service or deli counter.

Try posting your question in the fastfood groups. The people who read
rec.food.cooking tend to prefer the real thing, not some fake version of
roast beef.

Carl Buddig sandwich meats. Those $.50 packets hung on the wall
above the cheese.

Because it is a manufactured product and not beef. Roast beef would be a
roasted piece of beef.

It is the same with Walmart "fresh meat". Embalmed meat isn't fresh meat.

It could also be a piece of roasted beef.

We have a couple of the roast beef joints like Arbys. We have Arbys and
then we also have Lion's Choice. First of all, I want said that I really
don't like fast food very much. I can't stand McDonald's. Sometimes
fast food is the easiest and I do get a hankering for White Castle a
couple of times a year. If I had to make a choice between fast food
restaurants I would have to pick either Arbys, Lion's Choice or Burger
King. I'm guessing but I would think Arbys uses some type of injection
brine or something similar into it's beef to get the flavorings it
imparts.

I didn't bother going to the site to check it out. The self basting
solution is what I thought. UGH... beef chunks... wonder which cut of beef
it is...

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.

Bleh... those things are so salty. I have used them for SOS in the past.

Would a package of Buttig 'meat' work as a substitute? After reading
Dave Bugg's post, I imagine it might even be "better"(?) than the Arby's
ingredients for its "beeph", but I don't know. Spouse would buy that
brand from time to time, but I don't. Spouse isn't picky, but I am <G>.

Hmmm . . . I tried to google for "buttig meat", but I didn't get the
information I'd hoped for. I probably spelled it incorrectly. The
"Buttig Meats" I know about come in a plastic bag in the prepackaged
coldcuts section at the grocery store.

P.S. Disclaimer: I've never eaten a Arby's "roast beeph" sandwich

Actually, you don't have to buy them because they'll usually give them
to you free. Ask your grocer for "cardboard boxes" and take them home
and cut pieces to the size you want.

That's because it's Buddig! LOL Lovely (snork) processed pressed meat
