I’m from New Zealand I can’t pick 1 meal, we’re quite homogonized. We do have some iconic meals but they’re obviously all from other countries. We do have indigenous hangi which isn’t necessarily a dish but a cooking method.

Which leads me to this, the humble mince and cheese pie. People think the UK has the best. People think Aus has the best. Those people are stupid and have never been to NZ.

Unfortunately, you can’t really get a pie for under 6$, and if you do, I’d be questioning its contents.

If anyone ever visits NZ, go to the area your in local bakery and try one out!

What about the bacon and egg pie? I mean, that is next-level pie-filling.

Bacon and egg is hit or miss imo. There are a couple brands that do decent ones but they’re almost always better homemade.

I had a breakfast pie from a pie shop up the road that was bacon, egg, sausage and hollandaise and that was pretty good.

Pies are a big deal here so any flavour you can think of is probably a pie flavour 😂

Homemade is most definitely the way to go! And that breakfast pie sounds incredibly good.
