The bird has all the taste and texture of prefab, and is oddly sliced instead of chunked. If I hadn't paid 30 cents extra to add Swiss cheese, this sandwich would have been a toss-away. Add-ons aside, sandwiches are a bargain. You won't be leaving hungry. You're also nursing a secret hope that it'll be your favorite, maybe corned beef and cabbage or beef stew.
Anytime meatloaf is available, dig in.
The texture is so smooth and firm that the hefty slab doesn't even look like beef. No, it's pretty plain, apart from some flecks of scallion, corn and green pepper. Oh yeah, when lightly drizzled with tomato sauce, soaked in beef gravy and paired with chunky mashed potatoes plus a few slices of buttered rye bread. I'd pass on that pickle spear, though, oddly plunked on the side. Macaroni and cheese is scarcely an elegant concoction, either, particularly when it's ladled out of a chafing dish and glopped on a plate, like a flashback to your high school cafeteria.
