Arrrrgah!
I have been brought up on the Maori/Scots fruit salad.*
Which is only for Christmas/New Year and Very Especial Occaisions.
Codamn, we have century-old dishes (serving) for these things!Excellent figs grow as far south as Dunedin. Bird-netting is essential-
*Always includes alcohol (of varying kinds) and real cream. -

All welcome (long as you esteem old-fashioned fruit salad!)

Hey, as long as you dont put fejoas in the fruit salad - nau mai!

Nau mai! Free fruit salad* without* - but all my mother's trimmings (lady fingers. sherry, home-made custard, creme fraiche...) anytime a club member turns up south! Haere mai na!

Please join my “I hate fejoas but am still a real ANZer” club: so far, I am the only member.
Free Moeraki banana passionfruit upon joining!(Actually, they are only good in a bowl of fruit salad, WITH LOTS OF CUSTARD – and alcohol and creme fraiche.)

Sounds & is seen as absolutely delicious!
While I dont eat red meat (unless the animal has been shot & butchered by someone I know & trust), I think can make this for my Southern family from your evocative description, next month - when I'm south again. Thank you! -

eing the season here, I wonder if anyone has any Feijoa recipes and photos? ;
Y'know, the one fruit I cant stand to eat is feijoas? Loathe the smell...*
I think it's a genetic reaction - I have the 2 genes for both smelling asparagus in urine & reacting thus to consuming it...
*Yup, I've eaten durian-

t is not English; and now much of the transplanted Englishness in the form of neo-Gothic buildings has upped sticks and stones
Totally agree - except at the time of the murder, a large part of the CHCH population both believed and perceived the city to be "the most English city outside of England." (And that continued for another couple of decades.)
I was at primary school when the murder & trial took place but I still remember the headlines in both the Press & The Star, and the adults' horrified reactions (not least because we had the same odd* surname as one of the murderers...)
It was, and is, quite uncommon in ANZ
