What are the specialties of New Zealand?

New Zealand, the home of the white cloud, is a small but enviable country. Due to the fact that it was a British colony and a country of immigrants in the past, it does not have a specific cuisine, but rather has its own specialties. You can find Chinese, Korean, Indian, Middle Eastern and even Turkish and Moroccan restaurants in the streets. Today, we are talking about some of the more unique dishes in New Zealand. Although the author is not a gourmand, but also the streets and lanes have run a lot of museums, coupled with a gourmet and a columnist with the same room, so from her there is also a lot of benefit, spend a dozen or twenty yuan will be able to eat very satisfied. \x0d\\\\x0d\\\\ Nutritious Breakfast: Fried Fish Nuggets + Chips + "Marmite" Sauce + Fun Cereal \x0d\\\x0d\ First up, fried fish nuggets and chips, which is actually an authentic British snack. Since New Zealand is situated in the Pacific Ocean between Australia and Antarctica, and has a rich fishing industry, the fish and chips here are made from cod. Cod is an elastic and flavorful fish, and when fried, it has a nice crunchy texture. All the fish and chips are wrapped in newspaper after frying, giving them a unique flavor. \x0d\\\\x0d\\\\ breakfast bread is spread with a sauce called "Marmite". The first time I ate it, I thought it tasted a bit strange, like licking a rusty iron door. However, it is said that this "Marmite" sauce is a nutritious food rich in iron and many other vitamins, and compared to peanut butter and jam, it is fat-free and very healthy. Many of the children here have their breakfast on toast with cold milk and marmite spread. \x0d\\\x0d\\ mentioning other breakfasts, naturally, cereal is the order of the day. Cereal has to be soaked in cold milk to be tasty, and once it's warmed up, that crunchy feeling all over your mouth is gone, and the fun of eating cereal disappears immediately. Cereal is naturally divided into many kinds, there is a kind of called "muesli", is a kind of is wrapped in a layer of yogurt in the dried fruit composed of Swiss-style breakfast food, there is also corn flakes, this Shanghai many supermarkets are sold, suitable for people on a diet, you can add fruits to personal taste. There are also a variety of fruit-flavored cereals, mainly designed to appeal to children. There are also higher-end organic cereals, which are naturally more expensive, but many people are still attracted to them. There is a special kind of cereal, the petal-like bits of cereal compressed into the shape of a waffle, whether eaten dry or soaked in milk, or with honey are particularly crispy. \x0d\ Lunch and dinner: simplicity on one side and hustle and bustle on the other \x0d\\x0d\ Lunch in New Zealand is pretty much dealt with by everyone, either sandwiches or sushi, or a serious sit down for a nice rich meal of nothing more than rigatoni or Chinese food or something like that. This is also skipped here. There are also a lot of people who like to eat pie for lunch, which is a kind of pastry with a trap inside a flaky shell, and the trap is mainly meat, kind of like a Chinese fresh meat mooncake. \x0d\\\x0d\ And people here often have grilled lamb and beef steaks for dinner. The total number of sheep and cattle in New Zealand is greater than the population, and the quality of beef and lamb is among the highest in the world. New Zealand was the largest exporter of dairy products and beef and lamb before the UK signed a cooperation agreement with the EU. Beef and lamb here are firm but not chewy, juicy and delicate. The texture is particularly good, and the lamb is free from stink and particularly easy to cook, so you can get iron, fill up your stomach and enjoy your meal all in one go. Usually eat in the restaurant, the menu must be lamb shanks, once and a friend in a restaurant on the beach ordered a lamb shanks, two people to share. The sea view plus the delicacy was heaven on earth. New Zealand produces a lot of good wine, but from a personal point of view, I prefer wine. The quality of New Zealand's white wines can definitely be compared to some French wines, and the price is not expensive. The Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is worth mentioning here, as the white wines from New Zealand are slightly different in that they are more fruity on the palate. When it comes to drinking white wine, it is necessary to pair it with white meat. In addition, I would like to mention mussels and oysters. New Zealand's mussels are very large, but not rough, and they don't have a strong sea odor. Oysters are always far away from me, but New Zealand oysters are fresh, juicy and very refreshing. Especially the oysters around Island Sound at the north end of Auckland, with their large grains and strong seawater flavor, are one of the most famous dishes that must be tasted, and with a glass of white wine, they are an excellent choice for dinner. \x0d\\\x0d\\ Food Culture: Eclectic \x0d\\x0d\ In recent years, New Zealanders' palate has changed significantly and become more sophisticated. Because New Zealanders love to travel, they try many new foods when they travel overseas and introduce them back home. New Zealanders like to entertain their friends and family, and will be invited to dine with them at their friends' homes***. Most guests are expected to bring a dish of their own, such as salad, steak and sausages, and to bring their own beer. \x0d\\\x0d\\ As a dependency of the British Commonwealth, New Zealand's diet has long been dominated by steak, chips, coleslaw, fish and bacon. The thousand and one roasts and boiled vegetables, along with after-dinner puddings, have remained a staple of pub and countryside fare even now. But the characteristics of a country of immigrants have also given the New Zealand diet a new twist, with immigrants from Asia and around the world bringing with them spices and cooking techniques that now allow New Zealand cooking to incorporate those of other countries, creating dishes that utilize locally available foods.
