Then I have to apologize for my ignorance. I assume you've heard of food common in New Zealand but I don't know what that is. I don't know of any restaurants in my area with 'New Zealand Cuisine'.
So we know what would be unusual for you can you give us a hint about what would be usual?
Yeah sorry to be vague
There's a Maori meal called the Hangi which is like a roast that's cooked in the ground with heated rocks. I tried it when I was a kid. Its kinda like steamed food if I remember right
Fish and chips is a popular food but that's really a English thing
We eat pies with beef or steak and maybe cheese sauce in it
When I think about it our homemade meals are like english meals and American fast food chains when eating out.
I think of Indian, Asian and Mediterranean as exotic food. Ive had a bit of it but want to try more. You can find pretty much any type of food in auckland. Away from the larger cities… not so much
