On the Making of Beef for an Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich

By my 6-year-old daughter--over dinner, of course:

"You peel off the skin and squeeze out the blood and cut off the butt and the little thingies that squirt out the milk and, of course, cut off the hooves."

Actually, you need to set her straight. Those thingys that shoot milk, the butt and the hoofs make valuable filler. You wouldn't want to go throwing those things away. I think each butt can be stretched out to make another 4 sandwiches. They pretty much toss the whole thing into the grinder, and then press it back into something that vaguely resembles a roast, and sell it 4 for 5.

4 for 5 is so 2 years ago. It's 5 for 5.95 now. What a shame--5 for 5 was just so much catchier.
