Mayonnaise in New Zealand

[BIGBOSSMAN]

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

Erm, have you tasted your own spoof ?

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.

Clearly, you haven't sampled Mac's Gold, nectar of the gods....

Cold pork pies? Puhlease!!

Clearly, you haven't sampled a proper* pork pie. Delish.


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 (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.

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.

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