Arby's has flipped the vegan 'meat' trend on its head (tr)

From venison, elk, and duck to sandwiches with layers upon layers of meat and curly fries stacked on top, Arby's has offered some particularly unique products in the past.

Now the sandwich chain is flipping the vegan "meat" trend on its head, leaning into its "We have the meats" slogan and creating its most bizarre concoction yet: the "megetable," a vegetable made out of meat.

And Arby's new megetable, the "Marrot," is exactly what it sounds like: a meat-based carrot that not only tastes like the orange vegetable but has much of its nutritional value.

I used to love their fried chicken.RR chicken was sold at Hardee’s but they eventually quit selling it. Did find one that still had the RR chicken but they only had it a few years after Hardee’s stopped.

I swear that Arby’s doesn’t care whether new sandwiches sell or not. They just use them as an excuse to raise prices across the menu.

Good thing Michelle Obama wasn’t still first president. Arby’s would be under investigation for something.

I’m with you - maybe the “marrot” has a future for folks who go to health spas - only way to smuggle meat in is to disguise it...
Arby’s seems to be flailing for a way to turn over 45+ years of shaved crap masquerading as meat - which is ironic now that they have “meat” masquerading as a veggie...

The Reuben is GREAT.

At least for me. And I have had many, many Reubens.

Yum.
