New Zealand Recipes

• Colonial goose - A leg of lamb, specially prepared to resemble goose (which was much desired but unavailable in early colonial New Zealand). The bone is carefully removed and replaced with dried apricots and honey. The meat is then marinated in red wine, and finally roasted.
  
  
• Fish and chips - Deep-fried fish in batter or breadcrumbs, and fried potatoes.
  
  
• Meat pies
  
  
• Roast lamb

• ANZAC biscuits - Both New Zealand and Australia claim to have invented this dish for ANZAC troops sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign in World War I. ANZAC biscuits are biscuits made from rolled oats, coconut and syrup, a recipe specifically chosen because it would preserve well during the long sea voyage to Europe
  
  
• Hokey pokey ice cream - Vanilla ice cream containing small lumps of toffee.
  
  
• Lamingtons - Cubes of sponge cake, covered with chocolate icing and dessicated coconut. The cubes are cut in half, and a layer of strawberry jelly (jam) or cream is spread between the two halves.
  
  
  
• Pavlova - As with ANZAC biscuits, original authorship of this dessert is a point of friendly dispute with Australia. Pavlova is a maringue with a crispy exterior, but a fluffy, light, interior.

Acknowledgement of their potential contribution to our understanding of culinary history has been slow. This book is a first in its field.
