World’s First Vending Machine To Make Hot Pommes Frites

Pommes Frites are a Belgian snack food delicacy. They are not your standard run-of-the mill french fry. If you've had them you know the difference. Premium fresh fried potatoes, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and topped with a variety of sauces from mayo and ketchup to exotic peanut satay. And although you can find them in New York City (123 2nd Ave), they are mostly found in Europe and of course, Belgium.

That might change. The Belgium company Breaktime Solutions has come up with a machine that produces perfect pommes frites in 95 seconds and dispenses them in a paperboard cup with a dollop of mayo or ketchup. If you want a more exotic sauce, you'll have to bring it yourself.

The first machine is in front of a supermarket in Brussels, but I imagine some industrious individual will see that this comes to America. Let's hope.

Here's a link to some video for the curious.
