Hangi - Hangi is a traditional Māori feast that involves slowly cooking meat, fish, and vegetables underground using heated rocks. It's typically prepared in large earthen ovens called "hāngī" or "ūnghī." The meal often includes chicken, lamb, potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables marinated in aromatic herbs and spices. This dish symbolizes unity among family and friends.
Fish and Chips - Fish and chips are a popular fast food in New Zealand, consisting of battered and deep-fried fish fillets served with thick cuts of fries. This dish is mainly made with locally caught fish, such as snapper or hoki, coated in a light, crispy batter. It's typically accompanied by tartar sauce, malt vinegar, and a side of mushy peas or a garden salad.
Pavlova - Pavlova is a dessert inspired by the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova and is popular throughout New Zealand and Australia. It features a light, creamy filling made from whipped egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar, topped with fruity goodness like passionfruit, strawberries, kiwifruit, and pineapple. The meringue base is crisp on the outside, and marshmallow-like on the inside, providing a delightful contrast of textures.
