I bought Butterfield Roast Beef as hurricane season emergency rations. I decided to "pre-test" it JUST in case. FIRST impressions on opening the can was "ALPO" smell put me off, but I went a head and prepared a meal with two cans. Drained one and kept the "broth" of the second in a skillet. I added some dehydrated onion, granulated garlic, and a table spoon of instant brown gravy mix (also emergency stores), and proceeded. The meat was medium-sized and stayed firm through the cooking process. It absorbed the seasoning well. In the gravy, it DOES take on an ALPO look, but taste and texture of the meat is more like pot roast over sliced roast beef. Is it TOP SHELF, no. But I WOULD buy it and recommend it for "heat and eat". As it tasted like pot roast, that is how I will use it next time. A few carrots, potatoes, pearl onions, peas, and Lea & Perrins. Or beef stew. It WILL be replaced for future emergency rations.

Several large solid chunks of beef with some smaller bits. More beef than liquid. No gamey flavor like some cheap canned beef. Not salty. I am very sensitive to salt and did not find this overly salty at all. Maybe it was just this batch, but it was very good. Not quite as high quality as Keystone canned beef but close. I found it to be an economical addition to my pantry. I will continue to purchase it and recommend it to others.

I mix this with my Dog's food for added protien

I have not used this yet. I will submit when I have a chance to make some yummy stew.

This has to be the WORST product I've ever tried. Taste is horrible!!! Fed it to my dogs.

Severely dented cans - no return available - DO NOT BUY

Tastes better than I expected.

All the cans were dented. As far as taste, I thought the main ingredient was salt, not beef.

never received shipment due to damage in transport

2 out of 4 can dented with holes in can. Packer had to have seen this and ignored it.
