The '''food and drink dispenser unit''' is a [[human]] machine designed and constructed for easy and quick food consuming. It can be found in several Human buildings and ships, first seen on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. [[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<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref>.

Turkeys are commonly consumed as food by [[human]]s, and 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 Food & Drink Dispensers. Turkeys are also eaten on Thanksgiving which is an American holiday in November. [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] compared his first encounter with the [[The Flood|Flood]], in which the rest of his unit was slaughtered, to a turkey dinner.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 47'' (''"They 'passed me up' like I was undercooked spinach at a turkey dinner."'')</ref>
