Being a Kiwi seeing a different view of our foods and beverages here, it's so humbling to see that our culture is unique and shows the world that we can hold our own compared to what to is meant to be. We've taken what's been bought here through generations and then given it a Kiwiana taste. I love my country and I do appreciate the respect the world gives us.

I think one thing that makes the NZ made chocolate so good, is our Dairy product (milk). The milk, butter, cheese is so yummy, because our Cows are grass-fed. To me, chocolate made in NZ taste much better quality than elsewhere. ❤

As a 71 year old Kiwi, mashed potatoes were VERY common - every night we had mashed potatoes with other veggies and meat (until I had to go low carb 20 years ago!). Fish and chips were our big takeaway when I was young. Very yummy too. Fish used to be very cheap here, but I suppose that was a long time ago! The icecream NZ used to be famous for was for the CREAMY dairy milk icecream, whether plain or flavoured 😋. The kumara I love has purple skin with yellow inside - for me that is THE NZ kumara. Thank you so much for your video - I appreciate our NZ food more now 😍

Ok... as a follow midwesterner that vacationed in New Zealand for 3 weeks, I can honestly say that this lady is spot on with every single thing she said. It's actually a bit uncanny how our experiences and observations are so parallel.

It's not a Kiwi summer if you don't have real fruit icecream. It's definately the best. I always get the mixed berry icecream. And ooooh.... someone mentioned Bluff Oysters... divine.

Someone asked about pavlova, The earliest recipe for a pavlova appeared in New Zealand in 1927, The first in Australia was in 1940. So the pavlova originated in New Zealand.

Grew up in NZ, have not lived there for 40 years but I still miss the pineapple chunks and Jet planes.😢

I traveled to New Zealand on holiday for two weeks in the month of April. Beautiful time of year to visit. I traveled to both islands. As spectacular as New Zealand is, I fell in love with the South Island.
I landed in Christchurch, à very charming town, the flowers and gardens are everywhere. Seems the Kiwis are not only quite fond of gardening, buts it seemed to be a competitive sport. My favorite was near the city center along à very pretty River. I was told flowers bloom year round. Then we took à tour bus TO MT. COOK for a SKI PLANE FLIGHT only to land on the TASMIN GLACIER! Breathtakingly Beautiful! Then QUEENSTOWN. THIS IS A MUST SEE on any visit! I would comparé it to Lake Tahoe next to the Swiss Alps. No matter what direction you look, it's filled with two things, spectacular mountain views and SHEEP!(LOTS OF THEM!) Everywhere you look are sheep.!) I sheared à sheep while I was there. I guess it's what you do. There is so much to see and do. A short tram to the top of a mountain with MAGNIFICENT VIEWs! and multiples of Luge rides; So much fun. Then we traveled to Wanaka, a Sleepy little place. Nice dinner a chilly evening walk and stargazin MY GOD! WOW!
Next, I traveled to MILLFORD SOUND; INCREDIBL!! This is a place where you see the FIORDS by land, water or by AIR! Alittle expensive, BUT WORTH EVERY CENT!
As we borded our planefrom Queenstown we flew to ROTORUA for my time with the Maori people à REAL CULTURAL EXPERIENCE. very friendly and willing to talk, and share their history. Then to Hamilton for a "Farm stay" where the group was Split up and we shared à night with a local Farm family and à Lamb dinner. I have had Lamb many times, I'm not a fan; This was the best I've ever had. Off to AUKLAND for a few days of sightseeing with a local friend. OUTSTANDING TRIP, Possibly the trip of a lifetime!
Things I liked. MEAT PIES, PASTRIES, FISH AND CHIPS in a cute place I smelled from our bus on the way to our hôtel. The coffee and wines were very good and even though it wasn't cooked to my liking, BACON, BACON, BACON! It's cooked kinda rare but incredible! The staff everywhere we stayed was more than happy "TO BURN" it for the "YANK". That's funny, their "BURNED" is what I call perfect! TRY IT ON YOUR VISIT.
From the American prospect, it is very different from the US. The people are very friendly. I hope to go back someday. Enjoyed your vidéo. Thanks!

so my wife and I have begun binge watching your videos due to us deciding to make a move to New Zealand! Love your videos and we can't wait to get everything finalized and begin the move! Thank you so much for your insight, your videos have become invaluable to us so thank you so much! Oh and were also from the midwest (Ohio) so it's nice to have your specific experience for us to see!

Lamb! Lamb! with roast spuds mint sauce and peas.Lamb roast, leg of lamb, rack of lamb, lamb chops, lamb shanks. Great video apart from the lamb omission.

Yorkshire pudding isn't actually a Kiwi thing, it's British. A lot of our cooking habit's I feel have come from Britain. And traditionally a Yorkshire pudding is suppose to be served with Roast beef.

I traveled to LA on the way to Europe at the end of high school and found the food inedible for the most part (the clam chowder in Disneyland was the only thing I ate and liked) and for one reason - Corn Syrup. It was in everything... even the ice cream and bread I tried. And it was all too sweet. Even the savory stuff was too sweet.
NZ does not use corn syrup and the reason why the chocolate is amazing... high-quality dairy, pure natural water, and NO corn syrup.

You forgot to mention lamb. I'm not a fan of lamb in the US, but when I had lamb in New Zealand I was pleasantly surprised. I heard how good the lamb was in NZ, from several people, and it was true.

The thing I miss the most after leaving New Zealand is the meat pie.
I cant find any other better ones.

Kumara./sweet potato
I used to work for a kumara pack-house and learned some of the history.
The common red-skinned, white kumara was brought to NZ from the USA by American whalers. The Maoris being very good agriculturists recognised that this American sweet potato was a better variety then their local varieties.
The yellow ones were developed in Dargaville.
The orange ones are the Louisiana Beauregard, brought into NZ by NZKD about 1999.
Possibly the difference in taste is due to the difference in soil and growing conditions.

Excellent video. I also so agree with you about the quality of pies in New Zealand. The steak and cheese, mince, chicken pies are superb. And one of my favourites are the good old custard pies.

Great video! Chomping away on a thick slice of Halal New Zealand lamb here in Singapore with 5 veggies, so really surprised there was no mention of that. As a Brit, I grew up with tasty NZ lamb and butter, but visiting NZ in 2017 was also amazed at the eggs. They are the best ever! My hostess left a Whittaker chocolate mini bar on my pillow for the 1st night and I have been hooked ever since...
How about the fabulous craft beer? There are so many micro-breweries and distilleries on N & S islands. Cassels & Sons in the Tannery, Christchurch makes prize-winning craft beers brewed in one of only two operational wood-fired breweries in the world. Wood-fired ovens are also used for delicious pizzas there when you get the 'munchies' after the beer!
With New Zealand being on the ring of fire, I would guess that rich volcanic soils play a part in the quality of the local produce. Interesting that, as @josviersel also mentioned the kumara flavour is most likely influenced by soil and climate.

My favorite cooked vege here in New Zealand is a well roasted flavour full pumpkin. Not something I ever ate growing up in Canada except for pumpkin pie the filling having come from a tin can. Here you can buy a variety of pumpkins/squashes.

The vegan "Pepper 'Sroom" (peppered mushroom) pie from the Z service stations: love those. When I lived overseas, I missed the chips, the Vogels bread, the cheese and the feijoas. I know that feijoas are a South American fruit, but we have taken them to our heart. Almost feijoa season now: I have five trees planted and two old enough to be producing, so looking forward to those in the autumn. Royal gala apples. And recently, the peachcot /peacherine (hybrid fruit) from the Hawkes Bay.

Don't buy Cadburys anymore since they close their factory in Dunedin always buy Whittakers only. And if you like fruit there's one I can recommend and I think you can get it in your neck of the woods is Lemonades they are like a lemon but you eat them like an orange and they are so nice unfortunately down South where we are we can't get them but I'm pretty sure you can get them up your way.
