Mayhem and mirth with the man about the house
Browsing online, I spotted a list of the world’s best cuisines, country by country. I searched in vain for New Zealand. Australia was placed at number 50 and the list didn’t go any lower. I imagine we might have been 51 and it could have been worse. There are 196 countries in the world and some of them love to eat awful things.
In Iceland, for instance, they fancy fermented shark and in Cambodia, they snack on fried tarantulas. Scotland’s haggis, with its challenging blend of offal, keeps that country out of the running and Australia is apparently dragged down in the data by its love of Vegemite. But New Zealand, where we’re now so multi-cultural that we’ll eat almost anything, apparently just hasn’t made an impression on the culinary world.
