Food and drink dispenser
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Summary
The Food and drink dispenser unit is designed and constructed for easy transactions rather than the usage of onboard cooks on-ship. This is also used to lower, as opposed to the extent of the cost of building and such. It is first found on the Pillar of Autumn, and probably most other UNSC ships. Earth has several throughout its cities built for civilian use, similar to vending machines. These are equipped with holographic clerks to help communicate to customers, but the automations are very simplistic and can't respond to every question it is asked. Because of this, and the fact that the systems were becoming too expensive to run, they were soon replaced by more domestic vending machines like those of the earlier 21st century[1], though this is not confirmed.
Food
- Turkey Dinner
Turkeys are commonly consumed as food by humans, farmed for its meat and eggs. Though humans have been consuming turkeys for centuries, they are still common and popular in human eateries and in UNSC Food & Drink Dispensers. Turkeys are also eatan on Thanksgiving which is an American holiday in November. Avery Johnson compared his first encounter with the Flood, in which the rest of his unit was slaughtered, to a turkey dinner.[2]
- Hamburger and Cheeseburger Dinner
The name is derived from the town it is originally believed to have been created in, Hamburg, located in Germany. When cheese is added to a hamburger, it is called a "cheeseburger". The food has been consumed for centuries, but is apparently still very common and popular among humans. Hamburger and Cheeseburger dinners are common choices on Food & Drink Dispensers which are standard throughout the UNSC Navy.
- Hot Dog Dinner
It is created from meat of various animals which are indigenous to Earth, such as pigs and cows. The food is centuries old but still very common and popular among humans. It is a standard choice on Food & Drink Dispensers which are standard throughout the Naval ships. It was originally made of pork parts, but now made with beef and eaten with Ketchup and/or Mustard.
