The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
This new french fries machine was created in Belgium, so it’s technically a “frites” machine. Nevertheless, it conveniently delivers a portion of deep-fried slices of potato in 90 seconds.
Another factor in the frite awesomeness, besides the convenience factor and lack of human interaction, is that the frites are cooked in beef fat. And, did we mention that Belgians typically put mayo on their fries?
Attention, sleep eaters… There’s a line of pastry beds and sleeping bags from a company in Japan. Brought to us by Felissimo, the series includes a sliced bread bed, dessert omelette sleeping bag, and a cream pocket bread cushion.
Perfect for some fluffy sleeping or if you just need a high-gluten power nap. Available here.

Brought to us by John Green over at Mental Floss, we’re treated to some serious education on the origin of 28 food’s names.

Get educated here…

The Double-Barrel Pistol-Grip Sawed-Off Shotgun BBQ Grill is not only a fully-functional grill, but the smoking gun is conclusive evidence that food is better when cooked outdoors.
Brought to us by California artist firesculptureart, all this manliness will set you back $9,550 USD. But at least you’ll always know who’s guilty of burning dinner. Also available in Colt .45 form, if that’s how you roll.
