Now here is something a little strange. This news item says that California Pizza Kitchen will be setting up 1000 pizza vending machines around the country. I wonder what a pizza bought from a vending machine would look and taste like? https://patch.com/california/across-ca/c...-across-country

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #1 these have been a thing in France for several years. Often on a former petrol forecourt with other self service machines like a laundromat and lavage (car wash) the French seem to have embraced the filthier end of the fast food market. Even the famed boulangeries (bakeries) are often franchises with the baked goods being ultra processed food made in a centralised factory rather than a genuinely artisanal product. I've never tried a robot pizza but I use the boulangeries.

actually, tombstone frozen pizzas have always been surprisingly good, if fresh. But it is likely that what ever they put in those machines prolly won't be five star .....

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #1 Yes, I availed myself of one of those a couple of years ago, somewhere in the Ardennes. Was well overdue for some lunch and came across it so thought 'oh well, how bad can it be'? Answer - it was surprisingly good, actually. It was a big machine, lots of clicks and whirrs inside during the preparation: I decided there must be a small person in there doing his thing. Seemed to me the pizza was pretty much made from basics on the spot; clever mechanics involved.

with good pizza, in the states for ref, the tomato sauce is the real secret for outstanding pizza. plenty of it and tasting out of this world. sounds like these machine pizza's might turn out to halfway decent .....

It may vary on the company, but the video I saw a while back showed that it's a self-contained pizza making robot. All fresh ingredients, cooked on the spot. So, it's pretty good. I don't know if it could be any worse than pizza available at a gas station/convenience store.

This reminds me of when I was a kid in the 1950's. My father worked at a bank in NYC and took me to his office one day. For lunch, we went to an "Automat", where you got sandwiches and other meals from some kind of machine. It was all very "high tech" and exciting, given the time we were in then. I doubt any survive to this day... |

Automats were just dispensing holes with a kitchen on the other side. A nice idea compared to cafeteria setups.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #8 You could say the same about certain parts of human anatomy, which places the Automat in a somewhat different perceptual paradigm...lol. |
