To all those people who think its unhygienic... would you rather eat from a tuckshop, fast food, restaurant or any other establishment that handles food not even knowing where they store or how they handle their foods!? Have you not seen the videos on TV showing some bad food handling practices, which they only show the one caught out, but what about the millions of other places that have not! At least these machines have all individual packaged parcels for each pizza and everything is contained in containers where nothing can get in. I know which id rather choose!! No sweaty dirty cooks making my pizza!

the way people detoxify fiddleheads in Japan:

boil water. add 1tsp of baking soda per 1l (about a quart) of water.
add fiddleheads, cook for 1-2 min.
drain and transfer fiddleheads into cold water (and you can keep them in the water, in the fridge- change water once a day)
after this, you can use it for whatever.

I've already commented this, but tempura is my most favorite way to eat spring vegetables. It just brings out the subtle flavors..

@lambowner: I didn't peel the skin off of these. They didn't get to point of being totally blackened on the outside, just slightly charred. I think the skin added a nice grilled flavor and texture, so I would recommend leaving skins on, unless they're completely burnt.

I would try it for novelty's sake, but I wouldn't expect much from it.

No yeast in the dough, and definitely no time for it to rise properly. What's the point? I'd rather have a good quality frozen pizza (does that exist?) with a properly proofed crust.

a pizza/bloody mary machine is..... GENIOUS!

I'd like to see an automatic bloody-mary machine be successful first. Then maybe I'd trust an auto-bake vending machine. Maybe they could then be installed side-by-side...

that is just.....where's the soul?

At least you don't have to worry whether the pizza guy washed his hands before making your pie.

@doctrine - they even have a little stick in them that's supposed to mimic the bone in a wing I think. we just eat them b/c they are good sources of protein, absorb sauces well and have good texture not b/c we're looking for something to be meat substitute per se. anyways, i just thought you might get a kick out of the part about the stick "bone."

I've lived in western Canada for forty years and have never seen a beavertail. Besides, I'm from Racine, Wisconsin where the kringle reigns. It's the most scrumpdelicious of all pastries. I wouldn't mind some real strudel though.

A beavertail sounds boring, like a commercial donut. Yuck! And I saw a TV show recently where the host was served one with cold shredded cheese. A donut with a pile of mozza was an horrific looking mess. Worse than poutine.

Great to see that President Obama took the advice of those who recommended he grab a Beavertail in these videos shot in anticipation of his arrival and welcoming him to Ottawa.

Welcome to Ottawa, President Obama!
