Average reading time: 40s (excluding video)

No worries about what to have for dinner tonight.

Bon Appétit!

Buying oysters from a vending machine? Sure, why not: Simplemost:

In France’s Île de Ré, an island off the country’s west coast, oyster lovers can indulge in the shellfish 24/7 thanks to [a] vending machine[.]

For desert? That would be an edible [(?)] 100 year old fruitcake from Antarctica. Antarctic Heritage Trust:

...the fruit cake is still wrapped in paper and encased in the remains of a tin-plated iron alloy tin. [sic]

The cake probably dates to the Cape Adare-based Northern Party of [Robert Falcon] Scott’s Terra Nova expedition (1910 – 1913) as it has been documented that Scott took this particular brand of cake with him at that time.

[.] Although the tin was in poor condition, the cake itself looked and smelt (almost) [sic] edible.

Define, "(almost)"?
