Meat-dispensing vending machine — très bien!

Written by 

This old mutt has learned that in Paris the first meat-dispensing vending machine has been installed in the city.

It offers a range of products including faux-filet of beef and Bayonne ham. The machine, which is located outside the L'Ami Txulette butchery, sells products at market prices and accepts credit and debit cards. L'Ami Txulette owner, Florence Pouzol says the butchery prepares and vacuum-packs the products, allowing customers to buy when the shop is closed. The Hound wonders what is going on in the world when he finds new respect for the Frogs and despair for his own country when it comes to public treatment of red meat!
