I hate sugar and sweet things and this tasted like a fishy dessert. I mean your tomato sauce is bad enough (I have sourced HP sauce and REAL Ketchup finally) Now where in Invercargill can I buy Helmans?

I concur.......the only sort i buy

[gatch]

I make my own mayo, don't eat it though, its a little bitter for my liking :shifty:

[NDORFN]

Fussy cunt aye? Try Best Foods, Heinz and even Pams all make mayo with real egg. ETA mayo isn't even real mayo. As far as tomato sauce goes... well if you don't like your Watties sauce then you're oviously not a sucker for marketing... good job.

Man up and mustard everything.

Ahem. Needs to learn to swallow then doesn't he? Mayonnaise should be savoury - not sweet. 'sall.

Nothing to do with Kiwi food appreciation - wouldn't touch that shit until you paid me. I have the Best Foods .. and most i know have their own homemade salad dressing.

[Kiwi Graham]

weetbix is probably the biggest disappointment here. The weetbix here is like the cheap and nasty home brand stuff we used to get. Proper weetabix on the other hand is mmmm

When they taylor a food product for the NZ market,the first thing they do is triple the sugar content :sick:

[Pussy]

Next there will be a thread complaining about NZ beer being too cold, and our pies too warm.....

[MisterD]

I shall merely note that cheese is no substitute for kidney...

You may have cause for a real complaint.
I used to work for ETA. I spent weeks upgrading their mayonnaise production line. Back then, my understanding was that in NZ, as in the USA, anything marketed as mayonnaise could contain only oil, egg and a limited number and proportion of flavourings. In the case of the ETA mayonnaise, the flavouring was mustard oil - lethal stuff, gives off phosgene - has been used as a chemical weapon.
Certainly, sugar was not on the ingredient list, nor was sweetening in any form. If this was not the legal requirement, it was most certainly the recipe.

However Heinz-Watties (now a pommie owned company) bought both the ETA mayonnaise name and also the production plant. If they now add sugar and other shit to mayonnaise, well they come from your side of the world and so you only have yourself to blame:bash:

Best Foods is the same thing, made in the same country & the same factory. Same jar different label! If it's not available in Invercargill, move.

Same here - an egg, two tablespoons of vinegar (I use spiced vinegar), 1/2 a teaspoon each of salt, sugar and dry mustard, 1/2 to 1 cup of oil (I use a lemon infused olive oil).

Put all except oil in small bowl of a food processor (I have one of those stick blenders with a bowl attachment) and blend, adding oil slowly until it thickens.

I also add fresh parsley to mine and it's delicious - I use this for potato salad too as the bought dressings aren't that great - too acidic.

You can get proper Haggis in Devonport, never had it with mayonnaise though.:gob:

Add a skerick of washed, chopped capers & horseradish for you tattie salad, put a big lump of smoked fish on the side. It's definitely lunch time.

No - but enough of that silliness

Yup! Kiwis visiting anywhere that appreciates fine dining are in for an education all right. Take France for example... I dare anyone tosend a steak back to have it cooked a bit more... go for Medium Well done and see what happens...!

[MikeL]

Traditional kiwi mayonnaise: can of sweetened condensed milk, some malt vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. The taste of summers long past... ... and now I wouldn't touch it. Absobloodylutely disgusting.
A real mayonnaise, made with good quality oil, is the only way to go. Once you've made it, then add fresh garlic (not that awful pulped stuff in jars) to make aioli. Divine!

Has to be cold to substitute for the $hit taste.

Apart from the Bacon and Egg ones, Kiwi pies are greasy $hite.

[CookMySock]

Just mixed some Eta Mayonnaise with tuna to put in a baked potato. Took a mouthfull and thought WTF?It's a mistake thinking anything out of a tin/jar/packet will ever do justice to a perfect baked potato. Try making some Béarnaise sauce to go over your beloved bakie, and everything will be one with the world again. Google and Youtube it.

Also use Béarnaise over veg poached in stock, or with blanched peas/beans/asparagus. I never "boil" any veg now - always poached in homemade stock.

Any of the homemade french sauces make a massive difference to any meal. I'm looking forward to the asparagus season, mmmm.

Fuck...right now I'd kill for a bottle of ginger and a bridie smothered in broon sauce. I'd even settle for a lorne sausage in plain bread (http://www.premierfoods.co.uk/our-brands/hovis/mothers-pride/)(not the southern softcock pan bread like wot we have here). McJim, your'e a cunt for making me think about "old" home again.



*as in one not full of added jelly, sugar and other shite.

Love the stuff - you can buy Daddie's brown sauce in NZ (the connotations are shocking but the sauce is great!) - the local New World normally stocks it as the owner is English, but I think that Cool Britannia shop in Wellington sells it too.

+1 When I first arrived in NZ, the Best Foods jar also had Helmans on the label.
