>What's food in NZ like?
Pretty great, the only intensively raised meats we do are chicken and pork, even then they're not corn fed. Corn fed is just not really a thing here. you can get corn fed chicken but its at a premium (its an organic free range brand im pretty sure.) We don't import a hell of a lot and its very easy to eat locally grown stuff, and everything we have in the supermarket is in season at that time. We do have a relatively high cost of living which is an issue when it comes to buying groceries. Our meat is first class, especially our lamb. I should know kek

however the food scene can be relatively lacking, theres not a huge amount of diversity. Mexican isnt a widely spread thing like it is in the us. (Our version of mexican would be indian, its fucking everywhere. I miss taco bell from the one time I had it when I went to sf/lv/la)

USA has so many pop ups, mom and pop places and for the 'gram places that theres a huge variety. nz isnt like that, new places rarely open.

we have cheese rolls tho, those are great. (Also like one of the only regional delicacy nz has, its a southy thing)

Americans have the sausage and egg mc griddles and I will also envy them for that. I remember when we got them for those two short weeks as a promo and by god they were fucking amazing.

Its actually pretty hard to find things that are NZ only, because if we do it chances are Aussie does to. I do know of ONE delicious regional dish that is fought over who actually started doing it, Otago or Southland, and it's the mighty cheese roll. These fuckers are delicious if done right, there's lots of variation to them (Some use bits of onions, some use onion powder. I find the onion too raw and over powering so only eat them made with onion powder) and that can be fought over too. Had a friend from Auckland come down and he'd never heard of them.

This isnt a British only thing, we do it in the colonies too. Gdad has one with every fish and chips meal (nz) and I know aussies that do it.

it's just a shitty made cheese roll, fucks down south in NZ have been doing it for eons. They use 'em for charity drives/fundraising. You use shredded cheese, hot milk to melt it a bit, butter, onion soup powder (mustard powder is you're feeling fancy) and spread the melted mix onto a slice of bread and roll it up. Never seen them pan friend, you either cook them in the oven or on a sandwich/panini press. put butter on top.
