It is - last time I was in Queen Street Auckland I was the only white Caucasian there.
It was full of only Chinese restaurants.

Yummy Mussels. Look like you've got a hydrothermal vent on your table Sophia.
Welcome back too!

You've hit a sore point in Restaurants in countries.
When I was in Rotorua with my then wife. We were standing (I kid you not!!) on a street block and I was saying to her "I'm sick of bloody the same stuff (restaurants, diners, etc) we can get anywhere and even home. Bloody Italian, Chinese, Indian, Maccas, (etc, etc) - just like back home. I want to eat some real New Zealand styled food!!!!"
My then wife said "Look! A New Zealand Restaurant just here."
I'm like a delayed retard unable to comprehend time and space of being right in front of a 'New Zealand' styled restaurant... well, no I wasn't - my reaction was like "Cool!" and we walked straight in immediately before it disappeared from our consciousness like some illusion.
It was a very wonderful feeling and vibe being in a New Zealand Restaurant 'in' New Zealand. The food was amazing and in some ways - original in taste, style and type.

Reckon you've turned into a bit of a 'pud' with all that good eating in Europe Sophia. Why not? It's there to be enjoyed on such occasions.

The best is minced Paua fritters.

This is terrible news for me today folks.
I think I need to log off and take this in.

I’m devo too Jasin!
I wish I never knew how good NZ food was to now know it’s just more bland like everywhere else!

What can we do to bring back the flavour of NZ ?
Something needs to be addressed here. I want to know why it’s changed!

In fact, imagine how embarrassed I felt when I was rabbiting on about how good their potato chips tasted, to my daughter and her friend, going to NZ for first time, accompanying on a cruise with us…in 2019….

Only to be stunned to find it wasn’t like hubby and I remembered!

I’m saying … wait, something isn’t right here!

Had I known I may not have bothered to cruise to NZ mainly for the taste!
Dang!
Last time I went before that was 2011 and by golly it had the flavour then!

What the heck happened after 2011???

Last night I didn't know what I wanted to cook for dinner.
I just opened the fridge and grabbed whatever, and cooked it up.

Frankfurters with high quality tomato sauce, eggs, bacon and asparagus -
it was very tasty.

I'm going to have a small piece of steak, an egg and some salad tonight. I keep wasting eggs so I need to use some up.

Sounds good to me.

Schlurrrpin down 'raw' eggs is very good for the brain.

Cooked eggs turns the clear into white (processed into protein) - good for the body.

I'm both - I schlurrrp em down raw and zap em for 30 secs in the microwave for cooked.


Did you both know that I used to be a Chicken Sexer?
