June homework

Just like in America, New Zealands main meal is diner but what is different is that the men dig a hole to cook some food like hangi. Another difference is that the main food that people eat is Fish and Chips while here it is probally McDonalds. Although this maybe true, Restaurants and fast food places are becoming increasingly popular.
When it comes to ingredients, NZ food is based on things that come from NZ. Both in NZ and AU the influence on food comes from British-based food with Mediterranean and Pasific Rim influences as the country becomes more contemporary.
Food habits are changing in AU and NZ but their pattern of eatingg remains as follows; dinner is the main meal of the day and barbecues are very common in the summer time, Cakes are not normally made from boxes of mix, families usually eat take-out once a week and at barbecues the men cook the meat and the women do all the rest much like in America. NZ has started to become more and more like America, when it comes to food, because it is more convenient and contemporary.

I am excited to try all of the new foods they have there and also to experience the culture that goes along with the food. For example how it is prepared and how people normally eat it like what is the respectful way and so on. I plan on trying many new foods and activiteis i have never done on this trip.
