OOOPS <G> I wondered why google didn't give me a response when I used "buttig meat" (or meats) as keywords 😉 Figures I spelled it incorrectly. I'd already responded about "Buttig"[sp] before I read your post, Steve.

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?
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.

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 seems like the wrong texture. On second thought I'll bet it would work if it was soaked in the "enhancement solution" .

That makes it sound crappy. You forgot to mention the up to 30% "enhancemnt solution" which is added...
Ohhhh! That makes me feel sooo much better 😉 Actually, when I was in my early 20's I'd buy the Carl Buddig stuff because I was broke and it was cheap. I think it was 4 for a dollar back then. But then, I also bought 5/$1 Kroger brand chicken pot pies.
Would those frozen Steak-Um things substitute for Arby's beef? Do they even still sell Steak-Um's?

Isn't it amazing how they get the colour just right. From a distance it looks like beef. Up close it looks like dyed balogna. Is the average consumer so foolish that they would rather save a few pennies and get faux roast beef than to pay a little extra and get real beef?
Because it is a manufactured product and not beef. Roast beef would be a roasted piece of beef.
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.
I was referring to "Roast beef would be a roasted piece of beef. " Roast beef could also be a slice of roasted beef. Aw, never mind. "-) I think it's maybe Arby's sweet sour sauce that has no recognizable food item listed in the ingredients. Like fruit juice (thickened for 'sauce' consistency).

Sure, Walmart has taught everyone that the only thing that can ever matter is price but fortunately they might be loosing their grip:

Depends, if they are a quality version they are simply thinly sliced meat and wouldn't qualify.
My buddy has a commercial refrigeration business and I get to see various process lines including meat packing.
There is a local plant that makes a "Steak-um" type product. They run one version under their own name which is made from real meat that they trim on site, freeze, slice and package.
They make another version for the big box mart and famous industrial restaurants that is sliced from blocks of pink looking material. A few days before processing they pull the blocks out of the low temp freezer and put them into a cooler that is just below freezing to warm up. I asked about the pink color and they said they buy the blocks from some other processor and it has hearts and other byproducts mixed in.

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.
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...
ROTFLOL!!! That made me think of the Jack-In-The-Box commercial where the executives are sniggering at colleagues saying "angus burgers". -- Dave www.davebbq.com

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 explains their poor selection. They can get things cheaper if buy one thing, one style in bulk than if they offer a selection. I am happy to hear that more and more people are refusing to shop there. My brother used to shop there once in a while, but now he just goes in there to check their prices and then goes to places that promise to match the lowest price so he gets things in other stores at Walmart prices.

I thought that too, but I was trying to be considerate of the OP's feelings. I'm weird that way.

One thing I do like at Arby's (unless they've changed in the past year) is their chicken breast sandwich. It's actually a chicken breast. Probably full of brining solution, but I like them anyway...

Me too. If spouse gets the Arby's "beeph" sandwich, I might get the chicken or chicken cordon bleu sandwich. They're actually not too bad!
