Golden Salami

Text: CC Bakes


On one of my recent ventures east, I was shown something rather ingenius by a local, in the region just down the road from where I got my scallop pie.

Like the golden arches shining in the distance along the freeway on a long drive, the Golden Salami shone out to me. And like it’s fast food counterpart, it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But this brilliant idea is not manned by some pimply 15-year-olds with braces, oh no, this is not manned at all, for this little gem is simply a roadside vending machine selling all sorts of different kinds of salami.

Now, those of you who are avid meat eaters will know that when you’re on the road, driving towards the horizon through the mountains on a beautiful clear day in the middle of December with a couple of friends across the front seat of a van, the only other thing that could make your day perfect at that moment is a little bit of delicious locally grown and cured meat. So with that, we put our coins in the slot and out came some thin cigars of salami, and off we went drove. And then came the thought, how great would this be at a service station when driving through? All I need is a bunch of refrigerated vending machines, put them in service stations across the country, and fill them with good quality meat and cheese, for picnics and the like. Golden business idea waiting to happen.
