FOOD CULTUREA few years ago, the food in New Zealand was the most

restricted in the world, "Flat" or without flavor, without complicated elaborations. There were no options, and everything was based on English style Beef with 3 vegetables, or the fried fish with fries. Seasonings such as garlic, onions, and herbs, were suspected of things to use, and only the rosemary and mint, the dish came to be part of the traditional cuisine. Salt is zero or virtually unnoticeable, after all, always been like that Mom and Grandma cooked, and so it should remain. There was little afraid to try different cuisines, a feeling that if they experience the Kiwi identity itself would be at risk. It goes beyond liking or not, and has to do with the Kiwi unwavering certainty, where any change can pose a threat.
