Hard News: Where do you get yours? (Food…, in reply to Emma Hart,
Now, if I get into farmed/ then harvested/ then smoked or otherwise processed salmon – we’re in for a looong ride – about which I know a considerable lot.
Summary: good, basically, against wild harvest-Hebe – after yet another tooth in my my head has fallen out ,all I can add is -
even edentious people can suck smoked salmon with satisfaction (but cry at the same time-) -

There is NO gazumphing for food references!
Manuka-smoked? YES! -

O, O I was saving some of this stuff for next time – but Hebe, you are absolutely right – Evansdale is somewhere I always call into and as for the Dunedin Farmers’ Market? Hear a tremendouys *major YESSS! Gourmet IceCream? Well, really, is there no other of the rest of the sweet-loving hoard?
*The only celebratory correct spelling insofar as I am concerned- -

I’ll do Deep South later (includes: Dunedin! Bluff!)
Our southern correspondent!
Happy to be!
Foodie from way way back, and southern by whakapapa - & since I was conceived! And been trolling around southern areas as a hungry appreciative *aware*mouth & brain for over 55 years-there's also the inland areas, where I dont go much BUT! I have a foodie s-i-l
who may be willing to take up the slack... -

O but the huge vacuous skull-

South…far south…but not quite Deeep South-
Waimate – free-range capons (pretty difficult to source normally.)
-Havoc free-range pork
-home of the farms that make the potatoes for Heartlands potato chips
Oamaru- Whitestone cheeses (who also have a good range of Havoc’s processed
products &(I am told) including very good chorizo.) Whitestone cheeses have an enourmous range of their own products, but you can also pick up Mt. Peel products. Clearwater yoghurt everywhere in Oamaru & further south – we know a bloody good thing when we taste it. (By Whitestone cheese, I mean the factory store in Orwell Street.)
-some of the best potatoes in the world are grown in Oamaru.Pays to
visit the Chinese vege markets for them (and a lot of other things – only place I ever been able to buy Chinese artichokes!) just south of town, and other roadside stalls (and just-off road sellers) for cherries, hazelnuts & walnuts. DO NOT BUY FROM RANDOM SELLERS ON Oamaru town footpaths (the produce generally comes from Auckland/other areas, are seconds and waay is over-priced (and frequently being flogged off by people on a temporary visa who have no licence to sell.))Do however, go the the Sunday Farmers’ market in Oamaru – you can get really good fresh Moeraki blue cod/sole & other fish there, plus many many other goodies.
You havent got your own coffee machine while travelling? Try “Short Black” and “Bean on Thames.”
My family south provide excellent fruit, vege, & eggs (not to mention really good bush venison…) -for us. Cheers!
I’ll do Deep South later (includes: Dunedin! Bluff!)
