Common Kiwi things | what you'll ALWAYS find in New Zealand 

lol OMG the sandflies are SO bad. They'll literally drive you mad.

That makes sense, your meat is so tasty!

@@MorganMarieWolff ...ummm

Thanks, Sharlea!

Of you want to pronounce it like a kiwi its pronounced What-Tees but i hope you don't, i like how you say it :)

What petrol stations are the best?

You should try the Caltex and gulf garage they have the mean as pies

I agree, Bruce!

Pounamu 💚

@@MorganMarieWolff New Zealand green stone is only naturally found in the south Island rivers .Jade is the name used for 'green stone' from over sea's .many of the tourist green stone sold is not New Zealand green stone at all .New Zealand Ponamu is usually lighter colour and very valuable .

@@NZKiwi87 the google translation reads "bottle"😳🙄

Yes the owner purchased Watties so that they got the Bake Beans recipe. And Yes I loooove watties aka Heinz bake beans, cold on hot toast slathered with butter.

I was just talking to my mom and she asked if Kiwi's like devilled eggs?

Love devilled eggs, but the home cook has to make them for party platters n stuff lol. Sadly things come and go. It's the modern life and that generation where they were commonplace have died out? Home cooking changes, new cook books and many I think, don't really cook like they used to? They were a cheap and easy thing that tasted great.

The English mustard is more of a tradition in NZ and used to be made at home with the powder back in the day. It is stronger and has much more of a "bite" to it than the American style. American mustard is very bland almost tasteless by comparison - not a fan of it.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeap cows = flies

I know, so bad!!

@@MorganMarieWolff no, not at all! It’s absolutely commendable that you’re trying and I appreciate it :)

@@NZKiwi87 what a great reply I'm part Maori I get corrected all the time buy Maori , really bro show me your tereo degree didn't think so, not that important huh

Yes, the hole in the ozone layer as a major factor re sunburn in NZ is way over stated if not plainly mythical. The clear air and lack of pollutants such as dust and smog lets more sun through so is stronger.

Damn texting while flying is straight up stupid lol

I did not know that! Thanks, Stevie=)

I have to say that watties products, as a more aware person than before , has far tooooo much sugar in ALL of it's products! (Except frozen vege.) The baked beans, sauces and so on and this is why I've gone off these NZ products Oak too. We used to get Whitlocks and their tomato cause was not the bright red dyed sauce, but probably much closer to the ketchup product? Alas, not made in wanganui for decades; a family company ,but now owned by a company based in Singapore and made in Australia-in puny bottles- no bulk tubs.. and sweet. Used to get piccadilly and soooo much more. Apple products used to taste of apple! Like this german apple pie flan I used to get from aldi in oz- taste! Now there and here, they're just congealed packets of snot. It really comes to blame the neoliberal economics and the political people that forced that upon us. Reagan, Thatcher, Douglas- whether he was told to do it, but it was his philosophy and alllll those others that still have that as the economic model- even the labour government - they're all neo liberal economists -the big corporate that destroys small business, allows for mergers/ takeovers global enterprises- shipping parts to make and products all over back and forth over the globe, gobbling up the world's finite resources in everything- more co2 release- going down the wormhole to oblivion. Really, this is what's happening! -The slash, down the rivers in the Hawkes Bay- that's what broke the bridges. Overseas companies with dubious reputations running the show. The slash took out those crops for a lot of it.

Sounds yum Andrew!

@@MorganMarieWolff The Thai sweet chilli, Sriracha, oyster sauce, soy sauce. Kewpie (Japanese) mayonnaise and Kewpie Roasted Sesame work as dipping sauces. However, most Lee Kum Kee sauces are for Cantonese cooking, not for dipping. Many English speakers get confused with dark soy sauce, which is thicker than the usual thinner soy sauce, which uses colouring and marination only. Lee Kum Kee is the largest Cantonese sauce maker in Hong Kong and Kewpie is the largest mayonnaise maker in Japan. You can find all of them at Asian supermarkets or in the international food section at mainstream New Zealand supermarkets. Lee Kum Kee has its own English website with Asian recipes in English.

Entering pie chat..Ms macs too much crust

I used to work in dairy, in what way is it bad? The only downside I see is the environmental cost but NZ does better than many countries in that regard and its certainly one of the most efficient and competitive markets in the world. Compare to the UK where taxpayers have to massively subsidise the entire ag sector just to stop it collapsing, the NZ dairy looks very good.

@@DomingoDeSantaClara I think we have different understandings of „good“. I have no idea about england, I‘m in europe. 1) NZ dairy destroys the environment. it‘s not just a bit bad, it‘s final destruction that can never be rebuilt. poisoned groundwater, eroded land. in europe, dairy has been done since millenia, the nature can cope. 2) european farmers are subsidised, the result of that is affordable healthy food for the poor masses. In NZ, produce is expensive so the poor eat shit and become obese and mentally ill 3) europe makes good cheese. NZ does expost the lowest value product (milk) instead of making something of higher value our of it. pure idiocy. and NZ cheese is just not good. european famers often dont own the land, therefore dont need loans and dont get rich and agriculture is not about money but feeding its own citizens. kiwi farmers are only about money, slaves to bank loans and only money on their minds. some get rich. that‘s not good!

@@TheMntnG although I can agree on some things, some of the things you point out are economic problems rather than farming issues. The government has plenty of opportunities to legislate to make food cheaper for NZ citizens, it not a fault of the industry. Re subsidies, it may ensure some products land on the shelf at a cheaper price, but people have paid towards those products regardless of buying them or not. I'm not sure how a cow in NZ is more polluting than a cow in the EU? NZ cows are on pasture all year round, EU cows spend half the year inside, using electricity, requiring diesel tractors to be constantly feeding out or cleaning up after them, along with the huge costs of growing, harvesting and storing all that food, and extra vet costs associated with being crowded together, and on concrete.

​@@TheMntnG subsidising farmers doesn't save the public money, it just makes them wasteful with fertilisers. The issue is that our produce doesn't have competition in New Zealand, we're a captive market with no choice but to pay whatever supermarkets set prices at.

​@@TheMntnG I've heard good things from Europeans about our blocks of cheese in comparison to the same shit they get, the only issue is that we don't produce good brie, camembert, mozzarella or many higher end cheeses.
