New Zealand Cuisine

The cuisine of New Zeland features a great variety of dishes and is mostly based on fresh ingredients.
New Zeland is an island, and there are many types of seafood. Also, the soil is proper for the crops of several vegetables.
The traditional dishes are simple,especially during the summer,when people enjoy eating outside. They prepare barbecues from many types of meat, such as beef and lamb. The most important Maori delicacy is named Hangi. This dish is prepared in a especial manner. Hot stones are placed on the bottom of the deep hole. Grass is put on the stones and then the food is positioned on this layer. Next, another layer of grass is laid on the food. The final step consists of sealing the hole, by introducing earth in it. Men take care of the preparation of the hole, while the women are responsible with the food.
