Didn’t get $47 value from this hāngī meal & pie at Whakarewarewa: boiled dead vege, chicken & 3cm cut of lamb: flavour free! When B was a lad, hāngī food had distinct smoky earth taste. Anyone recommend an authentic outlet in Central Nth Is?
Such was our disappointment we skipped the Māori village tour.
Whittaker’s Choc Cross Bun captures taste well: perhaps a petition for a 🍫Choc Hāngī edition?
@Rjdlandscapes Agree re Whittaker’s. Used to get Almond Gold bars sent in food parcels to the UK! The Xbun flavour is good enough to trigger the olfactory memory of a bun from the toaster dripping with butter, I promise 😀
Maybe there are rules about mass catering from earth ovens that prohibit a proper hāngī? If so they should call it something else e.g. “steam box”.
