I suspect this dude was living predominently in Auckland. South Island is a bit different. We mainly say 'dinner', though it used to mean lunchtime and 'tea' was the evening meal. Supper is a cup of milo or tea a couple of hours after dinner/tea while watching the telly (tv). The kai moana (seafood) is wonderful. If you drive Highway 1 past Kaikoura, you'll fresh-as crayfish (lobster) and mussels from a caravan (trailer) on the side of the main road. And Kaikoura township has the best fish&chip shop in the entire country, IMHO of course. So Cheers bruh. Thanks for representing.
@bazookacantgame 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah true, even going down to Hamilton where I live, there is Is more of a business lifestyle because there aren't a lot of family things to do like go to the beach or go to an attraction (with it also being a less touristy city). With the more business lifestyle and centric location you will find a lot of expensive private schools in a small area. All that said Raglan has the best fish and chips hands down
@my12spoonswithrose43 3 жыл бұрын
Well as a person who has lived in Auckland most of their life I can actually tell you, you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to supper etc. No kiwi uses those expressions unless they are originally from another country. Oh & age doesn't come into it either. As for the best fish & chips you should try travelling around the country with a open mind. There are lots of fish & chip shops better than that one. Plus we also have the caravan selling stuff on the side of the road up this way as well, it's been a family tradition since the pools & I'm sure there are others, as I'm sure I remember one when I lived in Napier.
@jacksorrell5560 3 жыл бұрын
Cool to know what it’s like on the South Island, but a couple of things I wanted to add. Crayfish isn’t lobster they’re different animals. And Telly is a British word just like fish and chips are British. So many kiwis think all these British words and foods are kiwi.

Haha, being a New Zealander I just had to watch this... it was funny!! Based on all the foods and mannerisms I can tell very easily this American guy stayed with a Samoan Island family with maybe Maori mix, or a family which had close ties to Maori culture... "Sweet as" is common to all New Zealanders yet the use of the word "heaps" is probably more common to the specific community and family that this guy stated with. Anyway cool video, had a good laugh

Don’t think I’ve ever had fish from the Chip shop and it still had bones in it

I think this is only when you order flounder. That's often cooked whole, with a little bit of batter and the eyes still looking at you
@slimdusty6328 3 жыл бұрын
Generally its either shark & elephant fish fillets, so you wont come across bones. But then if its blue cod or snapper and so on, whats been used, then they'd possibly manage to miss a few bones sometime when filleting the fish

Wait, do you not have free range cows in America? Is this just a NZ thing

New Zealands main export is Dairy. This isn't the case for USA.

Cows in the US and some parts of Europe are kept in barns or stalls especially in the winter. The animals can not move around and they eat grain or feed rather than grass.

@marcusjohns5166 3 жыл бұрын
Cows that are kept inside and fed on grain@@minnowx7099 are raised for beef. If a cow is being milked, it HAS to be raised outside (Unless you have 1 cow, or a MASSIVE barn and a HUGE amount of free time on your hands to clean up after the things).
@nigelclats6970 3 жыл бұрын
Cows are put in sheds in winter in europe/uk for health reasons,they are out on grass the rest of the year. NZ has cows out all year round,and manure and urine run off is uncontrolled and water quality in rivers and creeks has been degraded to the point where 90% of our rivers are unswimmable.

Yea I liked that bit. We do have amazing ice cream. As a kiwi having spent the last 2 years in England I can honestly say I missed the kiwi ice cream. Reasonably priced here in NZ too and in 2 litre tubs lol... Kapiti and Much Moore and Deep South are good brands too.
