Why not.

Are regional varieties in food a problem to you then?

[NazNomad]

Yeah, no problem ... it's local 'cuisine'.

Would they eat black pudding if they came here? I would like to think so.

[askyourgran]

Sorry no I couldn't buy anything from a vending maching. You don't know how long they have been there, without food or water. They could be going off as we speak.

[NazNomad]

... in which case they'd be dead, and hey, you'd get three free ones. ... Result.

Hairy crabs are really good......they steam them with a little tart vingear and sublime when in season - which is now

[DTCwordfan]

though best from a Shanghai/Nanjing restaurant or fish stall

[MickyMacgraw]

The title was merely an attention grabber so no need to have a coronary chuckfickens. I think It's a great idea and it would certainly help me out sometimes when wondering what's for dinner.
I love the Japanese and Chinese for their vending machines and you can get almost anything from them.

[MickyMacgraw]

[MickyMacgraw]

I've just seen that in my link dtcrosswordfan, what a strange thing to buy.

[DTCwordfan]

one could say at least hairy crabs are one up from hairy pusses - or maybe not...

[MickyMacgraw]

Hairy crabs may be a big problem at the std clinic there.

A funny anecdote about vending machines. When I was a student at Durham in 1972, one of my drinking buddies (now a respected priest) had a car, which was unusual in those days. One evening, after chucking-out time at 10.30 p.m., he announced that he was was starving and did I fancy anything to eat. All the chippies and takeaways were shut by this time, so he suggested we drive up the A1(M) halfway between Durham and Newcastle to a motorway service station, where we duly wolfed down some of the most disgusting sausage, chips and peas I have ever tasted. After consuming this my mate announced that he was out of ciggies and would go to the corridor where all the vending machines were. At the time 20 cigs cost around 30p, so he inserted a 50p piece (which could buy you 5 pints if you shopped around), expecting 20p change. He came back almost in tears; no change and instead of 20 cigs a packet of multi-coloured condoms. I have not made this up.

[DTCwordfan]

lol - shades of Portehouse Blues combined with the recent events of Andy Powell crusing down the M4 in a golf cart to the service station for a midnight snack after a Welsh rugby international - and a thou later after the court fine etc...

[MickyMacgraw]

That really made me laugh mike11111.
