Urban Legends Reference Pages: Arby's Liquid Meat |
 | | I heard from a friend, who I consider a reliable source, that Arby's Roast Beef arrives at the restaurant in liquid form, then is heated to a solid, sliced, and sold as roast beef. |
 | | According to scuttlebutt, the meat used by that chain in its sandwiches isn't actually beef but is instead an imitation foodstuff arrived at by reconstituting a powder, gel, paste, or liquid, then shaping the resultant mass into something approaching the appearance of a cut of meat before roasting, cooling, and slicing it. |
 | | Arby's derived its name, by the way, from the phonetic sound of the initials R.B. However, the "R.B." does not, as many folks conclude, represent "roast beef" but rather "Raffel Brothers," the restaurant equipment business owned and operated by Forrest and Leroy Raffel that was the forerunner to the successful sandwich chain. |
