Nice blog thanks, Nik.

I call paninis "pretentious toastie pies"
I was impressed that the Victoria Park New World has many solid bacon, egg and cheese toasted sammies (presumably for their 3am crowd) rather than the panini I fully expected to see. Unconscious snobbery confounded, and tasty to boot.

I'd say there are degrees of bastardisation. I think we're talking pizza with tinned spaghetti and pineapple on it, that kind of thing. And don't get me started on butter chicken.

I know, and I have no rejoinder. National radio this afternoon had a doco on the history of kiwi cuisine. It involved a fair bit of bastardisation of other cultures, so I understand your wariness. I'm sure your grandmother made a better tiramisu. Mine, not so much.

But us simple kiwis struggle to say parmesan - imagine what we'd do with parmigiano.
The tiramisu is italian product and Kapiti are just the agent - wouldn't be surprised if their managers stumbled on it while visiting your homeland.
-
Are you sure it's not some sort of ersatz cream?
Oh I recall it being totally genuine - as you'd expect from any product Kapiti decided to be involved with. Can't remember the Italian brand name and Kapiti don't seem to have a website.

Another welcome development: the overdue installation of a platform for wheelchair users at the foot of the East stand. Among those enjoying it on the day was Erin, a 16 year-old with cerebral palsy who keeps a blog.
Yes, good on the organisers - and thanks for linking to Erin's blog.
-
Not about this conversation, I should add, just a general observation.
-
only think about people who use wheelchairs when they are forced to
And only think about wheelchairs when they hear the word "disabled".

Great idea Steven
I reckon a bit of DIY barrier removal is a great idea.
