The History of Vending - Researching the Tradition of the Mechanical Vending Machine

Vending has been around for an extensive time and that is one certainty. The first occurrence as such came from a Greek mathematician named Hero of Alexandria who lived in a Roman region. He was an engineer for Alexandria, which now has a population of around 4.1 million people and is the second-largest city in Egypt. It is also one of Egypt's largest seaports accounting for over 75% of the nation's imports and exports. The Hero of Alexandria is considered one of the most important figures of experiment and development of technology in the age of antiquity. His work represents the time of the Hellenistic civilization, which represented the epitome of Greek influence in the ancient world from 323 B.C. to 146 B.C. Thus, the Hellenistic civilization represented a mixture of Ancient Greek combined with the elements of surrounding styles of Asia and the Middle East. Importantly, his work also dealt with developing the first vending machine (in terms of recorded history). The machine worked by utilizing a coin mechanism, much similar to what we have today with mechanical vending machines (inserting a coin and getting a product). The product offered in his machine was Holy Water. He included this invention in his book "Mechanics and Optics." When the coin was inserted, it fell by gravity to another mechanism, which then activated a lever. The lever opened a valve that let some Holy Water flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the coin, until the coin fell off. A counter-weight would put the lever back in place and the valve would close. Thus, the Hero of Alexandria created the first coin-operated vending machine.

Later on in history during the late 19th century, the first commercially available coin operated machines came into existence. They offered post cards to the customer. Around the same time, in 1888, Thomas Adams Gum Company introduced the very first vending machines to the United States. They sold gum and were placed in locations at New York. During the same time, gumball vending machines were introduced. After these initial machines were introduced, there was an explosion of offerings over time. Since the early 1900's, we have experienced all kinds of offerings. From, cigars, postcards, stamps, magazines, candy and lip balm. You name the product and it has probably been included in a vending machine.

The first time sodas and cigarettes became available in vending machines was around the 1920's. The soda machines gave soda into a cup for the customer-no cans for you. In 1926, William Rowe invented the cigarette vending machine. However, the quintessential vending icon was the Vendorlator. During the 1940 and 50s, the Vendorlators dispensed Coke and Pepsi and were know for their eye-catching appeal of the time. These things have typified the history of the vending machine and placed the machine into the tradition of what is commercialism.

Today, our vending machines have been operating for some time (as previously stated). The market has grown into one of great popularity. After the Vendorlator's caught the attention of everyone, the idea took on in America. Nowadays, we can expect our machines to vend a variety of products, while still being reliable. For example, we have ramen and instant noodle machines in Tokyo. Tokyo also has ice cream machines and DVD vending machines (much like the ones we have here now). The United Kingdom has book vending machines. Spain has a fishing-bait one. Japan, of course, has beer, sake and rice ones. Whatever the case, the vending machine has been around for a long time and does not show any signs of becoming a worn out idea.

So what are some aspects of a mechanical vending machine? Most of the ones built today have a coin mechanism, which obviously accepts the coins in return for the product. This mechanism can be plastic or metal, depending on which manufacturer you choose. Many mechanical machines separate their coin mechanisms, so in case of any jams it only happens with that mechanism and not the others. The shelves on the machines usually are slide out, to allow you to load whatever snack or product you want into them. Some machines operate based on a helix coil design where the coils deliver the product to the customer. Most of the machines are made from steel and are rust resistance. The coin mechanism however, may be up to the manufacturer. Many factories might set the mechanism to either 50 cents or 75 cents for a product, although the different amounts vary and the way you set them does as well. The locks (which ensure that you keep your money) are usually made of steel and are hopefully made well enough to keep the bad parties out. Some machines offer different units that fit together. For example, you might be able to fit pop and snack units onto each other. It really depends. The coin mechanism also might be adjustable, since there are a number of different mechanisms one can have in a mechanical vending machine. The ability to set the mechanism to your desired price is also offered in varying numeric quantities.

Finding the Best Western Food in Kathmandu

So you find yourself in Kathmandu after a hard trek and you are fed up of rice and lentils, had enough of noodles or just perhaps a bit home sick. You may be craving some simple steamed vegetables or a crisp salad but you have no idea where to start looking, well I'm here to shed some light on the hidden treasures of Kathmandu's culinary delights.

PIZZA
One doubts that there are many people in this world that travel and don't crave pizza from time to time. At one stage you could not get a decent pizza in Nepal, nowadays there are a host of restaurants that make pretty dam good wood fired pizza's, in fact, dare I say better than we can get at home!! But like all good things in life, there is a price. Pizza's range from 300 to 550 rupees depending on the toppings! The best place to get pizza is Fire and Ice which somewhat of an institution in Thamel. A great place to relive the highlights of your trek with friends, while enjoying a delicious pizza and beverage of choice.

PASTA
A hearty dish of fresh handmade pasta will always satisfy any appetite. On those cold winter days, head to La Dolca Vita. Three floors of well decorated dining rooms and an alfresco style roof top terrace invites the diner in for a pasta feast. Serving sizes are generous and delicious. My personal favourite is the handmade Gnocchi del la Rossa (Gnocchi in a red wine and tomato sauce). Here the salads and pizza are also really good. Finish your meal off with a Lavatzza Italian Style Imported coffee.

STEAK
For the carnivores out there, we all crave that big juicy hunk of red meat. For those familiar with Hindu Culture, it's against custom to eat beef, so most red meat product in Nepal is in fact Buffalo meat, slightly more textural and chewy than a good lean beef steak. Everest Steak house, found both in Thamel and Lake side Pokhara, serves up the best steak this side of New Orleans. You can order real imported beef steak, rib eye, eye fillet or sirloin, cooked to your liking and served with a side of French fries and steamed vegetables. A meal at The Everest Steak House will set you back around 600NPR including drinks and tax.

JAPANESE
Get your taste buds singing with some amazing sushi at a little restaurant called Momo Taru. Tucked away at the top end of Thamel, this gem of a restaurant is managed by professional Nepalese staff in partnership with an elderly Japanese couple. Many of the ingredients are flown in from Japan, including the seafood. The food is AMAZING and a great tasting healthy meal here is not going to break the bank either. Around 400NPR will see you with a nice plate of Maki Sushi, a Ramen noodle dish, unlimited tea, miso soup, a selection of pickles and perhaps a chilled Ashi Beer. The atmosphere is cosy with a choice of table or cushion seating and the staff are super friendly and speak English and Japanese.

A CHOCOLATE HIT
So we have all been there, after a nice meal we still feel a tad unsatisfied and out taste buds are craving that sugar hit. Kathmandu may offer some great international cuisine but it not really known for desserts. Alas, allow me to let you in on a little secret - Try the absolutely amazingly delicious sizzling chocolate brownie at Road House....did I mention it's amazing. Add a scoop of homemade vanilla bean ice cream and you will surely be in chocoholic's heaven!

HOME COMFORTS
Ever seen the movie Ratatouille, the scene when the critic cries as the meal gives him a memory of his mothers cooking! We all get that home sick feeling sometimes, and food can give us real comfort when we need it. Head on to Northfield Cafe, the beef stroganoff served with mashed potatoes is the dish that almost brings me to my knees crying for my mum......right down to the lashing of cream and hint of rosemary. It is the perfect dish to help me over the homesick blues. Other home comfort delights on their menu include Sheppard's pie and everyone's favourite bangers and mash!

So there you go, though the local food in Nepal is GREAT, we all need our home comforts from time to time. I hope this helps you to fill that hole in your stomach with something other than Dhal Bhart Tarkuri. Happy eating...

Hot Japanese Pork Buns and More - Pizza, Curry, and Salty Caramel

Chinese restaurants in California and around the globe serve pork buns. Barbecue-flavored pork and other ingredients are cooked, stuffed inside a bun, and steamed. Little stands on the street offer pork buns as do exquisite dim sum restaurants like City View in San Francisco.

When I am in San Francisco, walking down Market Street or people-watching on Union Square, I will buy a soft pretzel to eat. In Japan, I will stop my car at a convenience store, probably one of Japan's approximately 12,000 Seven-Elevens, and buy a bun. Like at a drive-in, most people eat in the car. Convenience stores rarely very provide benches.

Japan has adopted and adapted this style of bun. When you are hungry, biting into a hot bun on a cold winter day is one of the small pleasures in life. While such buns are available at street stands and in restaurants, and frozen in supermarkets, many people get their buns at convenience stores such as Seven-Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart, Save On, Circle K Sunkus and Ministop. Some ingredients look familiar and some do not. The most unfamiliar ingredient to Americans may be an, which is a sweet bean paste known by a variety of names. We searched the web, looking at convenience store websites to see their bun menus.

While Lawson and Save On do sell many buns, their websites fail to clearly present the kinds of buns they sell. So, I would just like to comment on a Save On pork bun that we did find. Shaped like a pig with a snout sticking out, two floppy ears, and two dark eyes, the fast food art embraced the Japanese concepts of cute and food presentation.

After seeing the piggy pork bun, I no longer went to Seven-Eleven. I started stopping at Save On. Some Save Ons sold the piggy pork bun to silent purchasers. Shiori, age eight or nine, and her grandmother, who was over 60, were two of the more vocal purchasers. Shiori, spoke first, "That pig is just so cute!" They talked at length about the cute floppy ears, the cute snout, and the cute pig shape.

Returning to bun offerings, the smallest menu on the web, at Ministop, shows seven different buns: Two varieties of pork buns; two varieties of an buns; a spicy seafood bun made from shark fin, shrimp, and an flavored with oyster sauce and other ingredients; a shrimp and pork bun flavored with salt; and for dessert, a Belgian chocolate bun.

Family Mart shows 11 different options including pizza, curry, and a variety of pork and an buns. One of the pork buns is a spicy bun, including kimchi while another uses the same kind of pork slices as you can find in bowls of steaming hot ramen. The completely new variety Family Mart offers is a yakisoba bun. Yakisoba is a fried noodle dish in Japan that is somewhat like chow mein. The bun is simply stuffed with fried noodles. Lastly, for desert, you can buy a pudding bun.

I have never tried the desert versions of the buns, nor have I heard people speak of them. I remember the ice cream trucks of the suburban phase of my childhood, hearing them from far away, worrying that getting money from my mother and getting back would take too long, but inevitably making it back on time for a piece of cold childhood delight. Americans talk of the ice cream trucks and they live on in our memories. Japanese speak of the sweet potato trucks that sell baked sweet potatoes. While sweet desert buns are sold almost everywhere in Japan, they are not yet fond childhood memories or the stuff of popular culture. Maybe they will be some day.

The Seven Eleven menu presents 13 different buns including many varieties of pork and an buns as well as two pizza buns, one featuring melted cheese. Normally, a pizza bun refers to just the red pizza sauce without any cheese. Seven Eleven also offers two pink desert buns called Sakura Buns which include an and other ingredients. The buns are named after cherry blossoms; sakura is Japanese for cherry. For a different desert, Seven Eleven offers three small buns together, one white, one yellow, and one brown for about the price of a regular bun. Each bun is a different flavor: salty caramel, maple syrup, and chocolate.

The Circle K Sunkus menu lists 14 different buns including a variety of pork buns and curry buns. The curry buns include a chicken and cheese curry bun and a cheese curry bun. Like Seven Eleven, Circle K Sunkus has mini buns too.

In most of Japan, you are never far from a convenience store. Steaming hot buns await in winter, but very few convenience stores offer the full menus. The cases used to heat the buns may just not be big enough.

Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

Sweet potatoes are a staple dish in numerous countries, including the United States, China and Indonesia, and are praised by many for the health benefits they provide. Sweet potatoes from Japan are the sweetest. Sweet potatoes have been popular in the South for generations, but in recent decades cooks in other regions have been succumbing to the charms of this healthy and flavorful distant cousin of garden-variety spuds

Sweet Potato Fries are slices of pure sweet potato. Sweet Potato Fries are a wonderful, colorful and healthy change to regular fries. Sweet potatoes not only have more fiber, but, more nutrients than a standard white potato. Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamin A, or beta carotene, and contain fiber, plus vitamin C, B6 and potassium. Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients, and one of the best foods you can eat.

Sweet potatoes can be boiled, steamed, mashed, baked, grilled, deep fried, served in a savory soup/broth or coconut milk, hot or cold. Baked sweet potato fries are a great treat, and mashed or baked sweet potatoes make delicious comfort food. Sweet potato fries, baked in the oven, are a wonderful alternative to the traditional French fry. The sweet potato fries were a nice twist to regular French fries. The sweet potato fries are definitely interesting and different, especially paired with the different sauces (thai chili, ginger-wasabi aioli) Sweet potato fries are easy to make, and what I have written below barely qualifies as a recipe.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

2 large sweet potatoes

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick
vegetable cooking spray. Peel raw sweet potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch
julienne strips. Place in plastic food bag and drizzle with olive oil.
Seal bag and shake gently to cover potatoes evenly. Spread in a single
layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, stir gently, turning
strips over. Bake 15 minutes, stir gently. Bake 5 to 10 minutes or
until nicely browned. Season hot potatoes with salt, pepper and
cayenne. (I spice them before baking...)
