BRITS TRY NEW ZEALAND SNACKS! | Our first time trying NZ food and we were surprised... 🇳🇿 🇬🇧

As an new Zealander I'd say that every time I see a you tuber that is trying out nz snacks from nz I get fascinated how they rate it.

L&P originated in the North Island town of Paeroa. A settler there started selling the local spring-water. Sales picked up when he introduced lemon to the mix: hence Lemon and Paeroa.

YEP...A proud Kiwi here. Ive tasted Meat pies from overseas and truthfully, OUR MEAT PIES ARE THEEEEE BEST ❤👌🇳🇿👌❤ Sowee, thats my SNACK 😂😂😂😂

I love seeing visitors trying pies and Lolly cake etc at the bakeries. Biggest stops of road trips are the best bakeries along the way. 😂

I can’t believe you don’t like Feijoas they are my favourite fruit!! I love sour though so the tang doesn’t bother me 😁 Hopefully you had a chance to try our famous kiwi onion dip? So good!

Fun video! My wife and I were down visiting NZ just under a month ago, so some of these are definitely familiar! - Pineapple Lumps are acceptable but meh. - ANYTHING Hokey Pokey is now in my favorite treats!! Love those flavors. - Totally forgot to get the L&P, and everytime I see people drink it, I get annoyed I forgot about it! - Wanted to try fejoa, but I thought it was in things like ice cream. Never realized it was its own fruit. Never did see it on any menus... now I probably know why! - You need to try Pic's Peanut Butter! It's so good! - As for places, we heard about Fergburger in Queenstown. It was really good! Busy (about 45 minutes), but good! Happy travels!

"The kiwi"(NZ dollar).A Kiwi(NZ person).A kiwi(A bird).A kiwi fruit(green,gold or red centered fruit)

Whitaker peanut slab is the best

Those Belgian biscuits used to be called German biscuits until WW1 when the name was changed. So it's not surprising they reminded you of Lebkuchen.

The Feijoa is classed as a Mango, it is sweet/sour (depending on how ripe the inside is), it is available in the top half of the North Island and Argentina, so not just relegated to New Zealand. They can be a fruit that you immediately don't like to a fruit that you can grow to love.

It might be worth trying a different flavour of Whittaker's -- it's very highly rated in NZ. Feijoas do have a bit of a weird flavour but they're a common fruit here

The Whittakers "Artisan Collection" chocolates are the flavours to try.

Was the kiwi fruit ripe? (It looked too firm.)

The next seasonal fruit to look out for is persimmon. Less ripe, they can be eaten like an apple, and more ripe they are closer to a peach (without the stone).

I'm a kiwi and never heard of red kiwi. Give it' a couple of weeks to get sweeter

Woohoo! I am now caught up with your videos! Pineapple Lumps (specifically by Pascalls) are a classic NZ snack. They have never contained real pineapple, and the company did refine the recipe a few years ago and many people feel they are not as good. Just a quick note: when talking about the fruit, NZers never call it a "Kiwi". A kiwi is either a person or the national animal, a flighless bird. "Kiwifruit" is what everyone calls it. Chocolate Fish are about the cheapest individually sold confectionary, and have earned a place in society as the traditional "Thank you" gift for small services, especially in the workplace. (When I was in an assassination club at university, Chocolate Fish were the accepted currency for bribing club officers for info on your targets) Supermarket bakeries in NZ are often great, but I'm afraid that was not a traditional NZ food. L&P is a fantastic summer drink. Try it with Bourbon and Malibu! Fejoas are from South America, but have been enthusiastically adopted by NZ. I personally can't stand them. I have done very few drugs in my life, but when my first flatmate got me high on the Devil's Lettuce for the first time, he surprised me with a Perky Nana. At the time I thought it was the most delicious thing I'd ever tasted. (It's pretty blah.) Just so you know, Hokey Pokey is a honeycomb toffee. Whittakers is the best chocolate in the world! I will fight anyone who disagrees. The most common is the Peanut Slab but their flavours are incredibly inventive. (They do an L&P flavour bar) Feel free to disagree. The next time you are in a supermarket look foor Jaffa Thins biscuits. They are a staple of my online shopping and many Brits have been converted by my pushing them. Thank you for posting this!

You guys found the good stuff😎

There's also the Tim Tam slam It's actually a Feejoa Pixie caramel is another chocolate bar it's also known as the longer lasting chew bar, picnic bars perkynana bars are better when they've been frozen or chilled and pinky Biscuits Mallowpuffs, any Tim Tam flavours, krispies, L&P dry is another good flavour Then there's Maori foods to try, but don't get it from the tourist traps tho if your in Christchurch there's place called Kai means food try everything and anything there

No way you managed to live in our house without eating a kiwi ever!!! How?!

There was a Cadbury factory in Dunedin, but the international company that owns Cadbury, closed it and it's made in Australia. New Zealand chocolate has a subtle difference and so, things aren't the same anymore. There was a fuss over the pineapple lumps as they changed for the worse, but I don't know what happened in the end. Everything has been bought out by the multinationals 🤬
