Helen, Charlie H and Andy went to visit Andy's mum and dad in France recently and spotted the latest in hot food on-the-go technology: a pizza vending machine.
Simply select your topping (bolognaise)
Get Andy to pay
Wait three minutes
Remove pizza
Try not to burn your fingers
Carefully inspect for artisanal baking quality
Split fairly
And then bask in a dough filled, melty cheese haze.
Instant pizza satisfaction for €10 euros.
This is completely crazy. It's the first time I ever see this.
I hope they let the pizzaiolo out once in a while.

Good heavens, it's my local pizza vending machine in Ruffec (if I'm not mistaken). I was flabbergasted too when I first saw it last year!

Brilliant! :-)

Thought I recognised it! I still prefer the worm machine in Mallorca, but then I'm a strange girl.

Being France, I'll take a bet that there wasn't a veggie pizza option.
Mais formidable mes braves!

Dude where can I buy one of these machines for my Dorm room?
Posted by: Cal | June 11, 2009 at 02:15 PM
Considering it came out of a machine it didn't taste too bad. A little burnt around the edges maybe.
Posted by: Helen at innocent | June 11, 2009 at 03:53 PM
Mmm... Pizza... Wish there was a veggie option though.... Was there a little man standing inside ready to cook it to order??! Cooooool!
Posted by: Beth xxx | June 11, 2009 at 09:59 PM

Posted by: k | June 22, 2009 at 06:24 PM
I saw one of these is Aiguebelette too! It must be a French thing.
