8. FOOD CULTURE
 A few years ago, the food in New Zealand was the most
restricted in the world, "Flat" or without flavor, without
complicated elaborations. There were no options, and
everything was based on English style Beef with 3
vegetables, or the fried fish with fries. Seasonings such as
garlic, onions, and herbs, were suspected of things to
use, and only the rosemary and mint, the dish came to be
part of the traditional cuisine. Salt is zero or virtually
unnoticeable, after all, always been like that Mom and
Grandma cooked, and so it should remain. There was little
afraid to try different cuisines, a feeling that if they
experience the Kiwi identity itself would be at risk. It goes
beyond liking or not, and has to do with the Kiwi
unwavering certainty, where any change can pose a threat.
