NZ things

[hXc]

Alright, I have a friend in Norway at the moment on exchange, and she has asked me to make a video of things NZ. I have the song picked, and a few pics from holidays etc with some pretty cool scenery. But I don't have enough.

So if you guys have any nice pics of NZ or NZ things, could you post them here? It'll be going on youtube and I'll post it here too.

Things like fish 'n chips in the paper, L & P, Pineapple Lumps, Weetbix etc. Not just foods, but they are all I can think of now. Things that are uniquely NZ.

Cheers.

In fact, if people have any ideas for songs too, it would be appreciated. NZ songs of course. At this point, I'm going to use Evermore - Light Surrounding You, but any other ideas are welcome.

[MidnightMike]

This one will help out a hell of a lot.

Has anyone got the track Welcome Home by Dave Dobbyn?
I downloaded it before, but it's extremely quiet. And that's the only one I could get.

[No FX]

lake brunner on the west coast

[Maha]

Phar Lap

All he did was pull a milk cart around Timaru before heading of to Aussie, where only then, did he become famous for what he was really good for, so Phar Lap can be rightfully claimed as Australian, born here yes, but no clam to fame in NZ, until after the Aussie imput, and thats the KIWI way...:niceone:

[ynot slow]

Oh you mean like Weetabix and Fish and Chips in paper that you nicked from the Brits

Yep the ol weetebix,no wonder the AB's lost the world cup,as for fish and chips,that's a kiwi icon,ala maori roast.

[hXc]

Oh you mean like Weetabix and Fish and Chips in paper that you nicked from the BritsBut people look at NZ and think about Weetbix or Fish N Chips more than they would if it were England you were looking at.
And NZ FnC is so much better, from all accounts.

[Motu]

Weetabix

Weetabix is a horrible Pommy food - in New Zealand we eat Weetbix.

Wow. That's dedication!

I never knew that.

According to my daughter's homework sheet Sanitarium is separately registered in Oz & NZ and has been from around the late 1800s. The origin of the idea of brealfast cereals is linked to the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan. One director was Dr JH Kellog (Mr Corn Flake). The connection is the 7th Day Adventist Church which started at Battle Creek and Edward Halsey the american adventist baker who started both companies downunder.

I bet you grew up with the same breakfasts as I did. Honey Puffs, Skippy Corn Flakes and Weetbix.

Just got back from meeting up at the weekend with some NZ relatives who are currently on a world tour, first thing they were asked by many here was say 'Fish & Chips' - kinda came out like 'fyush n chups':innocent:

[Grahameeboy]

Do they?

Agree on taste though.

[Grahameeboy]

You are dillusional my friend.

It's the same thing, just no "a".

[jonbuoy]

The only truely unique things that they won't have seen before will be the Maoris culture items - carvings, marea's hangis etc... arguably the ONLY thing that sets NZ apart from Australia for outsiders. Everything else is Tamato/Tomato. Cue the outraged hillbillies and rednecks.........

[Stickchick]

I know alot of kiwis in England that like to have their Reduced Cream and Onion Soup Mix sent to them?

[Bren]

The hidden message here is the making a question of a statement....perhaps uniquely Kiwi?

[Motu]

It's the same thing, just no "a".

They may mean the same thing,but no Kiwi will say Weetabix....it's an easy way to pick a Pom.

[Grahameeboy]

They may mean the same thing,but no Kiwi will say Weetabix....it's an easy way to pick a Pom.

So accent is not a dead give away then...sometimes you Kiwi's are clueless:pinch:

Being a Londoner I would say Weet'bix too.....

[Grahameeboy]

What do you mean......eh?

[Bren]

Depends - You sleeping with any kin folk?

kinfolk.....mmmm just your sister!:bleh:

[MaxB]

It's the same thing, just no "a".

Weet-bix are rectangular and smaller than Weet-A-bix which have more rounded corners. For mine weetbix are more 'malty' in taste. YMMV.

[MaxB]

How about the Toyota 'bugger' ad?

[Grahameeboy]

Weet-bix are rectangular and smaller than Weet-A-bix which have more rounded corners. For mine weetbix are more 'malty' in taste. YMMV.

So still nicked from Brits then...probably taste different due to fact that cereals grown in UK will be different in taste to other countries.

[jonbuoy]

kinfolk.....mmmm just your sister!:bleh:

Meh I don't feel so bad about doin' your momma now :laugh:

[Coyote]

Thats the same over here too, but we have more - lots more:crybaby:
I think we have a higher proportion of dropkicks relative to our population. At least I hope so, I can't imagine living anywhere else that has it worse :blink:

90% of people here are brilliant, it's the other 10% that do their darnest to get noticed.

[Drunken Monkey]

That's right. In Neil's own words:

"Melbourne was the birthplace of Crowded House and was always the town we chose to return to. It's forever deeply ingrained in our collective psyche and was the backdrop for many of our best musical moments."
