Food & Cuisine

1.) In New Zealand the people that reside in that country have different ideas of a barbeque. In the United States when one says barbeque the average american man thinks of hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, watermelon and so fourth. In New Zealand when one says barbeque they think crayfish, lamb, cervana and shell fish. In order to get the true experience of trying new zealand food, one might try the maori hangi. Hangi is cooked underground in a a hole lined with red-hot stones and covered with vegetation. Other vegetables are placed on top like, potatoes ,and kumara. In United States in order to have a real american taste, one might try a hamberger with cheese and some salty chips. The way new zealand differs from the United States is they prepare their meals in a hole in the ground. This is part of their culture, but by me being american it deffinately seems strange.

2.) When traveling I am most worried/excited about trying all the different kinds of fish, I have only tried salmon before and I was not a fan of it, at first it seemed good, and then it began tasting a bit fishy. My Goal is to atleast try eating some fish while im there, especially since its going to be very fresh.
