Mor hng is a traditional earth oven cooking style. Foods cooked in a hng are now mostly reserved for special occasions and include chicken, pork, and mutton, as well as pumpkin, potato, and kumara (sweet potato). Rotorua, in the central North Island, is one of the best places to enjoy this cultural feast, where you can also sample food that has been steam-cooked in naturally heated geothermal pools. For dessert, you might get to try a delicious hng-steamed pudding.
Fish and chips

Kiwi summer BBQ
Whether you call it a 'barbie,' a barbeque, a barbecue, or a BBQ, the act of cooking outside is an important part of Kiwi culture. During the summer, lamb, beef, sausages, and poultry are commonly barbecued at home in the backyard. There is also potato salad, garlic bread, and fresh vegetable salads. Then, family and friends gather outside on the deck to enjoy the meal together. Take the Earnslaw cruise to Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ in Queenstown to experience a Kiwi BBQ in style.
