Meat Vending Machine [General]
2010 Jun 9
Not sure I would want to buy my meat from a vending machine.
The vending machine world is huge. We just got back from Japan and my 24yr old son who is a bit of a picky eater was happy that in the hotel in Nagahama, there was a vending machine that sold Chicken fingers and french fries. All in about 2 minutes!! Great for late night snacking for sure.

RE: lady who brunches--we have to keep in mind that part of what drives the vending machine market in parts of Europe is limited store hours for supermarkets and other essential services. It is certainly not as restrictive as it once was, but it is still a constraint. I think the vending machine is run by the butcher shop as a service to its customers for after-hours purchases.

Made me think. Most countries I've traveled to in Europe, South America or Asia, have had beer dispensing vending machine almost everywhere. To me, served that exact purpose; want a beer after most stores at closed? Don't feel like grabbing a drink in an establishment, grab one in a vending machine and drink it in the comfort of your home/hotel... I wonder if we'll ever see those in Canada.
