Iconic Kiwi nibbles

[threemonkeys]

I just realised that I am probably only going to make one more shopping expedition before I head to cons. Following on from discussion on this post, I promised gillpolack that I would fetch a few iconic and unique New Zealand foods across the Tasman to Conflux. Before I head out shopping I thought I would get final feedback from y'all about what I should take. Conflux attendees may well want to share.

Obviously I am constrained by practicality (no L&P or Hokey Pokey ice cream) and Aussie customs regulations (no NZ apples etc*) so that means processed foods only. Chocolate fish obviously but also pineapple lumps or grain waves? Perhaps New Zealand's variation on Marmite?

Any thoughts?


*Obviously NZ apples are available everywhere in the world except Australia but that is a whole other discussion.

Sam Neill lives in Queenstown which is a tourist city in spectacular alpine country with lots of nice sharp rocks lying around.

If you come to Wellington (home of the local film industry), I can ensure you get a good sampling of the local beers :-)

Cool, it would be nice to meet up too!
