Missouri travel girl Posted August 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hi, I'm doing a pre cruise party before our New Zealand Austrailia cruise and would love some local foods to make. We are in the states, I think it would be such a fun idea to TRY to introduce my group to some local treats! Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted August 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2018 These all sound like imported foods with supervening local variations. For a truly local food, shouldn't we be recommending witchetty grubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missouri travel girl Posted August 26, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thank you everyone, planning on meat pies and pavlova. Will have to research what some of the others are. What is a local beer I might be able to find in the states? This will be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri travel girl Posted August 27, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Thanks everyone! I have researched meat pies, sausage rolls, lamingtons and pavlova. Going to make all of them, and need a couple of sides. Looking forward to enjoying these foods with my fellow travelers next week. Not really sure what short crust is for the meat pies, one recipe I saw it was made with lard melted in water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure what short crust is for the meat pies, one recipe I saw it was made with lard melted in water? I lived in NZ for a year and have been back several times. Next trip Feb 2019. Here's a link to some recipes https://edmondscooking.co.nz/recipes/ Short crust is like our Pillsbury pie crusts. If it were me I'd definitely use that as a shortcut!

sweetp12 Posted August 31, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If you are doing meat pies there are two traditional sides - pie, pea, pud (pie, green peas and mashed potato) which is quite english but the true down under side is french fries - pull the lid off the pie and dip the frys into the filling. The traditional side for sausage rolls is tomato sauce (ketchup) and they are more of a snack so no real traditional sides. However when I give them to the kids i tend to cut up some fresh tomatoes as it adds a nice balance to cut through the fattiness. I hope you enjoy your creating - the link to the edmonds cookbook is great, it is the best selling book in NZ and traditionally given as a gift to your children when they leave home. Pretty much every house has a copy of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a traditional salad (tomato, lettuce, cucumber, red onion) and a Greek salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure what short crust is for the meat pies, one recipe I saw it was made with lard melted in water? Apple pie crust will work fine. Sides.??? Pie, sauce. Mushy peas and mashed spud if you must. Sausage rolls, sauce. Lamington, Cream. Pavlova, fruit, cream ice cream. Now common sides at other parties will include potato salad, coleslaw, tossed salad, but that’s more for with a BBQ or cold meat (ham, chicken etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri travel girl Posted September 3, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Well, the party was great! They loved the food! Meat pies and sausage rolls were very good, I used a combo of puff and regular pastry. I made Lamingtons and they were a hit. Did some grilled sausages as well. They loved the Tim tams. Thanks to you all that gave me the suggestions, now I can't wait to try the real thing in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
