One of some of my favorite food is the Islander foods such as raw fish and chop suey. That stuff is super good and pani popo, so good. Also surprisingly you'll eat a lot of curry because there's a lot of Indians so I really love all types of Indian curry that I got to eat there. Yeah you get to eat a great range of food but those are some of my favorites is Indian curries and all the Polynesian foods.

Favorite food in New Zealand would be the pies and the ice cream. It is so good and if you ever get to try boil up, which is basically meat and it's kind of like lettuce, not really lettuce, but it's called watercress and potatoes and doughy boys. You'll know what it is once you get there, but that was also my favorite food in New Zealand.

If you visit New Zealand, you need to get some fish and chips. I love fish and chips, and the best I've ever had were in Auckland, New Zealand. There is a little shop in a place called Mangere Bridge, and I don't remember the name of the shop, but the outside was blue, and that should be enough for you to find it if you're looking. But they have amazing deals. They literally load the bag all the way to the top with fries, and it's so cheap, but it's so good.

First thing you need to know is the dairy products are amazing and rich and if you're not careful, you will gain 60 pounds in a week. Feejolas are my favorite fruit and some people don't like them, but they're amazing and you can't, there's nothing like it I've ever tasted in my life. It is so good. Another one of my favorites is raw fish. It's cubed boneless fish, usually white fleshed fish mixed with vegetables and coconut cream and it's delicious. And I love saposui. It's a Samoan dish with rice noodles and beef and it's delicious. My favorite dish is honestly roasted pumpkin and I've never had that before and it is so good with butter and salt and pepper as well as kumara and coconut cream sauce. That stuff is delicious. Try it out.

Boil up is a really, really big one. It's like pork bones boiled up in kind of a stew with watercrout or silver beet or it's kind of like a spinach and then they have dough boys in it which makes it taste really good. Taro, kumara, it's kind of like a sweet potato. The ice cream is amazing. Butter chicken, it's like a curry that's more New Zealand based. Pork crackle is awesome. They'll roast a pig on a spit and the pork crackle is the skin and it's so good. They do a hungi which is like food cooked in the ground, mussels, lots of seafood, roasts, all the food is great. You can't beat the food in New Zealand. Pavlova goes on.
