- That American in New Zealand is trying some good ol' Kiwi snacks- and I have to tell you, I've never tried these New Zealand foods before. We're trying candy, cookies, drinks...the lot!
We made the big decision a few years ago to move to New Zealand for a bit of adventure and to get away from the city, so if you are thinking about visiting or moving here, this is the channel for you! It's chock full of tips, trick, information and stories of my experiences to help you in your process.
Orrrrr maybe you're a Kiwi already living here and want to hear my cheeky opinions? I can help you with that too=)
I'm really so glad you're here WELCOME and thank you so much for watching.

Dear people ( who’ve never heard of nz and wanna try the snacks) you can NOT put THAT much marmite on the toast. The proper way is to put a tiny bit of butter on the toast let it melt and only THEN do you put a TINY bit of marmite on the toast
The Lemon and Paeroa name comes from mixing lemon with a natural sparkling spring ( i.e. fizzy ) near the town of Paeroa in the North Island. At least that's what I've always been told
I've never heard of a natural sparkling spring- that's so neat! I'd love to check it out=)
@@MorganMarieWolff paeroa has a massive l&p bottle, alot of people take a photo in front of (a must :) ).
Also when they fix the damage after the cyclone (i hope you and yours did ok) there is an amazing hike near by call "Karangahake Windows Walk" that's absolutely beautiful, even has glowworms in the tunnels.
That us correct can confirm as someone who lived closed to Paeroa and went past it whenever we went out to the beach or other places
Was originally now bottled in Auckland.
as a kiwi we would put butter on the the toast and only a thinlaer of marmite because it is strong but it is full of vitamins you can also put a bit in a casserole or stew, it has a similar salty effect to soy sauce in cooking
There was once printed on the Marmite jar label; may still be. "Too much spoils the flavour" - its true.
Paerora is the township near the East coast of the upper North Island and up the road a bit from Tauranga. At one time the naturally accruing sprng water aka Branch water in the American South was used to produce L&P. Now owned by Coca-Cola and made in or around the great South Pacific city of Auckland. I was born here in NZ, yet seldom needed to venture too far away from the State highway system. Outside, there be Dragons🙂
Not really that adventurous I guess, eh.
Thanks Kaylene! That is quite helpful. I always seem to eat Kiwi snacks wrong lol😬
Hi Bruce! Aww....I agree with the too much note! Oh boo! Had no idea Coca-Cola got involved🙄
You havent had Kiwi Dip with Chips yet Reduced Cream with Maggi Onion Soup packet and a tea spoon of lemon juice mix and chill in fridge for 30 minutes then ready to use
Forgot the sweet chilli sauce (and teaspoon of sugar) + another good one is adding finely chopped sliced gherkins (pickles)
Oh god, no! Marmite/Vegemite should be used sparingly. like, heaps of butter on the toast first, then a tiny amount of spread so the colour of the butter changes... we need to start adding instructions on the label. Too many foreigners spread it like peanut butter. It ain't peanut butter.
And definitely pop the Cookie Time cookie in the microwave for a few seconds.
Gosh, I really should do a "how to eat these Kiwi foods" video lol. Would never have known!
Kiwi Pro tip, try freezing the pineapple lumps in the freezer before eating.
Its not common but so good :)
Oh, I'll have to try that- thanks ADAM!
@@MorganMarieWolff any time i hope you enjoy it and are ok after the storms and shakes
American here and I have to say this is definitely my favorite channel on this subject
Marmite is the only thing I like on toast (apart from peanut butter and marmite, lol!) - Marmite has to be thinly spread though - just a scraping! 🙂
I really overdid it😁
Butter your toast first, and then add a very thin layer of Marmite! Anything else is awful 😏
I prefer to let my toast go cold then put the butter on that way a get a perfect thin scrape of marmite
@@Mazzamataz1 This. There should be more butter than there is marmite. Best to think of the marmite as a flavoring for the butter.
Queen Anne Peppermint chocolate fish is the best with a cup of coffee its so good together for some reason and L&P is really good to drink when it's a hot summer day i also mix L&P with a good spiced Rum. Always microwave your cookie time for 30 seconds it goes soft and the chocolate chunks are melted. Marmite is best on hot toast with lots of butter and a little bit of marmite on top
Ps we are in La Nina ,Not el Nino ,El Nino is the drought maker ,and La Nina is the rain maker .
I was wondering the difference! Thanks Logan=)
The bluebird salt and Vinger chips you tried In New Zealand we call them potato chips ,french fries are thin deep fried Pototoe you get at places like McDonald's .People from England called them crisps .
You are serious funny,you need to have a comedy sitcom,way funny keep up the best blogs
Thank you so much Bryden! That makes me feel really good=)
With marmite best in small amounts with butter :)
Definitely going to try it with butter and much less marmite!! The jar has to last people a long time!
@@MorganMarieWolff When the Chch earthquake hit the marmite factory was damaged. We declared Marmagedon. My medium sized jar was new at the tim and just lasted me the year or so until the factory was fixed up and production started again. I don't eat it too often so I was ok. But there were also people listing half used jars for huge prices on Trademe. And they were selling.
Aaaaaargh, that”s way too much Marmite, plus it’s best to have butter/margarine go on first. I feel ill looking at it and I love Marmite. 😂
I totally added too much marmite...ugh. I really slathered it on there.
@that american in new zealand I was yelling at you!!! Too freaking much!!!
Out side the township of Paeroa (near the Coromandel region ),is a giant L&P bottle people can stand in front of and get their photo with .It was so poplar it had to be moved further away from the road ,as too many people getting photo's and was causing a danger .Most small towns in New Zealand have some sort of giant sculpture to see and get a photo with .The L&P bottle is a must .
Lemon & Paeroa was brought out by Coca Cola in the mid 90's and they changed the recipe and added a shit ton of sugar so it tastes completely to the Original
Wow someone that actually knows that they changed the recipe when it was bought out by Coke
My taste buds have been telling me L&P is already less sugary compares to other soft drinks.
The steepest street in the world ,which is in New Zealand ,has an annual Jaffa run ,thousands of Jaffa's are rolled down it each year .Also ,growing up in the eighties ,when at a movie theater you had to roll some Jaffa's down the aisle 'tradition'. They are more than a coated lolly .also Aucklanders are called Jaffa's .Please don't call a Aucklander a Jaffa in person ,it's a insult.
To elaborate, the aisles in cinemas back then were usually wooden, and stepped down in line with the seat rows. So rolling a jaffa from the back row made a fair bit of noise in a quiet cinema.
L and P is lemon and spring water from the town Paeroa. Its best chilled straight from the fridge on a hot day. And yeah not after sweet stuff
lol AH! I really thought it was a kind of Kiwi fruit I hadn't heard of yet=)
I've always thought Pineapple lumps didn't taste like Pineapple ,I do like them ,so nice to see i'm not the only one who thought they tasted tropical ,but not straight pineapple .
They changed the recipe it use to be softer than what it is today
They are pineapple lumps...they are awesome they are home ...no matter what
ha ha your first Jet Plane was one of the better ones lemonade is the best in my opinion
With marmite on toast you do a good amount of butter and maybe a tip of the knife of marmite. Cookie time you need to heat them for 15 ish seconds and they are amazing.
I love your videos, with them I laugh and learn english at the same time!
I do find the Marmite/Vegemite taste like the Chinese black bean sauce for steamed pork and steamed seafood.
When it comes to people from overseas trying snacks like NZ biscuits, everyone will take a bite ,screw their face up and
think ..."oh that didn't taste great" which for them is fine ,but utterly boring because that's the way you yourself eat them.
But for kiwis, well we have more brain cells than most people from overseas when it comes to the mere biscuit.
We as kiwis think outside the box, which for those overseas people who try NZ snacks that are inside the box...that can't think past their nose....their life is totally fucken boring...
What I'm saying is because we think kiwis think outside the box we kiwis are willing to try it in another way or experiment with, ....if this biscuit tastes ok on its own, whats it gonna taste like if we dunk it in a cuppa, glass of milk or anything else that you think of to try the biscuit with.
As for the marmite everyone that tries it doesn't like the taste of it but then again they are inside the box again...boring!!!
You had the toast part right but you have to butter it with real butter while the toast is still hot and sparingly spread some marmite on ....then try it....
A lot of cakes and stuff that are bought in a plastic wrapping/container most times do not them cakes any justice to how they would really taste if someone baked one at home.....
Supermarkets and some other places use commercialised ingredients and a lot of the ingredients used are alternatives or substitutes for the real ingredients that should be used....some ingredients are ok but some are not...and the stabilizers they use in their ingredients are to make the product look good and keep for a few days but taste like crap.
Dont assume that things should be eaten the way you know it ask people, do better research ....not everyone is the same , but you will find some people that will tell their best ways to try things.
Something you should try is a bit of fresh cream in a saucer with a little plum jam ( or your favourite jam ) lightly swirled in the cream and dab a bit of bread in it and try it....younger generation or a lot of kiwis may not know or remember about that....but it use to be quite common (especially maori families ) and was more of a treat.
(My uncle called it "Poor mans dessert with Kai)
I know your a Nutritionist , but trying things that you really shouldn't be eating....is not a sin.....its just an experiment.
Those giant cookies? Two of them in the microwave for 30 seconds. One in a bowl, a good helping of your favourite ice-cream on that, then the second cookie on top.
Only way I can eat them.
I'm very much looking forward to their giant giant cookies (125g, I think - up from the current 85g).
Ummmm...ice cream sandwich? YAS!!
Don't do what my son did when he was a kid - nuked them so long he set fire to the microwave.
Rookie mistake. You only put a very very thin spread of Marmite. This is my recipe and yeah everybody has their own. I toast the bread lightly. Then I spread some kind of buttery spread like margarine or better yet butter. Then a thin coating of Marmite. I then put a slice of tomato. Followed by some nice cheese of choice, Wack that under the broiler till the cheese gets bubbly and Vie Oh La snack is ready.
I eat my toast, as others have pointed out here - butter and then an even smear - here and there. Cuppa Tea with milk, then dunk the toast in the tea. Little bit at a time. That right there is the bomb. My ex-wife ( New Yorker ) tried it one day….and that was that. She ate more of it than I did - same way. Cracked me up no end!
Kiwi kids are raised on it, just like American kids are on Peanut Butter, here in the US. Every kid is shipped off to school with a sammie of bread,butter and Marmite in their Lunch Box. It’s actually very good for you - but an acquired taste. I was cracking up, when I saw you take the toast without butter. “Ruh row,first mistake..bet she bangs a ton of marmie on it now….oooohh….here we go…yep…mistake number two..hahahaha”.
Try this one day - it’s another school kids “staple” diet. Two pieces of bread, one buttered and smeared Marmite. Then put some Chicken Chips on top, place the other piece of bread on top - and push it down. That right there is true Kiwiana!
“Chips”…When I first moved to the US, I was in SoCal. Went to a B/King and ordered a Burger and two large “Chips”…..dead silence on the speaker…and then the guy told me they didn’t sell “Chips” - Ex yells out “Large Fries!!”. Chips ( Crisps ) Hot Chippies ( Fries ) so easy eh?
Great vlog. Keep it up! Making me Homesick. Cheers!
U are so spicy
Ur awesome
Thank you
Ur a gem...from a kiwi that's lived in America since '96
I like marmite but it has to be on super crunchy toast with lots of butter and only a very small smear of marmite (like half a NZ 10cent coin size amount)
add loads of butter, melted into the toast, then a little marmite 🙂 PS my Marmite arrived in maine this morning - I was hanging out for it!!!
Aw...are you "that kiwi in america"??
@@MorganMarieWolff LOL, yep, thats me - desperate to get my kiwi Marmite!
Maine eh? Yeah mate, I get mine shipped to North Conway - White Mountains NH. Ahhhhh….cuppa tea with milk and my toast with the black gold on it. Dunked of course!
@@twohouses2259 haha. brilliant. really? NH? sweet. Not far away - I ski a bit around there. enjoy.
Oh you forgot the classic kiwi dip to go with your chips! Reduced Cream and Maggi onion soup mix
Confectionary ,we called them lollies in New Zealand .People from England call them sweeties (which is a pet hate I have ,when I hear the word sweeties used )American's call them candy .
As a snack connoisseur, idk why people recommended this mid af snacks 😂 best chips are heartland Tokyo tang (Wasabi mayo flavour) maple bacon or their salt and vinegar, with dip, classic onion is all good but the tararua gerkhin dip is amazing, and rashuns, not twisties or burger rings RASHUNS, lollies, natural confection company is the best, chocky breakaways are my current jam but Whittakers are where it's at, hazelnut and almond gold are my personal favorites, also l&p good, deep spring better, the white and green one
I think you'd prefer Rainbow Confectionary over Pascall's. Rainbow is GF and has real fruit juice in it. It's also NZ made (Pascall's pulled out of NZ and make their 'Kiwi classic sweets' in Australia... not as good as they were).
Also look into Maycey's confectionery. Smoker lollies... what Americans call "musk" flavour.
To improve the texture of Jet Planes, let them go stale! This is how they were eaten in the 1970s and that staleness makes all the difference.
Pineapple lumps are usually hard.
Ah, weird, mine were definitely gooey?
@@MorganMarieWolff Some people like to freeze them to make them brittle.
Marmite on Vogels with a nob of butter .....oh so good
Marmite was placed on 4X too much (Typical) does not ask a kiwi first :). Try with cottage cheese topping over the marmite makes a big difference.
I moved to Chicago in '96. .....I'm just now coming home to whangarei.....I was raised in Mairangi Bay
Pineapple lumbs ....ooooo so good
That's too much marmite. You should put the thinnest layer of it and put some butter also
I am hearing a lot about putting butter on as well...oops!
You should also try another old skool kiwi favorite "Lime flavor milk drink" Primo make it. Yummy 🤗
Oooohhhhh swiggels
So good!!!!
They are rich...im impressed u like them...
pescal is no longer made in New Zealand It is owned by Cadbury so it is now based in Australia and most New Zealanders now hate Cadburys and for the marmite try it with lettuce in a sandwich it is yum and healthy. And L&P was good when I was young as it was made in Paeroa from the mineral water there but then moved to Auckland and the it went to crap as they don't use mineral water anymore.
Try the Giant Jaffas lol
Cookie Time used to be better when they first came out - they used to be chewy 😓 The only way they're nice now is when they're zapped in the microwave - sad 😔
Oh no! I want to try the chewy kind! Even better- gluten free and chewy=)
Jet planes, like milk bottle lollies used to be yum. The original recipe for both was more chewy with a lot of flavour. I also recommend you learn what the acronym jaffa stands for; Aucklanders love it. Back in my frugal childhood days our local cinema had a sloping wooden floor. When opening their packets of Jaffas, by hand in the dim light people would often drop a number of them on the floor. If the rolling sound of jaffas came from behind me I would form a v with my feet to trap the rolling morsels then eat them 😂.
Jaffas are a kiwi staple
My favorite
Paeroa is the name of the town which is famous in New Zealand
many many moons ago ,a Asian comedian in New Zealand who had a show called -' an Asian at my table ' really funny comedian ,i've forgot his name. Your video's remind me his comedy make . You could have a show called ,- ' An American at my table ' You would be awesome to have over as a dinner guest some kiwi culture and way of life .😅😅.
What !!!!umm
PG TIPS
is the kiwi tea ☕
Jet plans are awesome
Yes they are a staple
try making onion dip with reduced cream.
Pineapple lumps are like Charleston Chews in America. You gotta put them in the freezer for a bit.
Ok the casual way she just dismisses some of our fav treats....god it hurts lol
Chocolate fish are sooooo goood
please use Marmite sparingly lol
WAY TOO MUCH lol
righto Toast with natural butter and a small amount of Marmite with poached eggs try that usually for breakfast but can have anytime
Hi from New Zealand
Love the video. The Marmite face gahahahahaha yup defs fishy taste.
and Queen Anne chocolate fish are like the luxury brand that you would put into somebody's birthday present. I have seen these going for 7 NZD (4 USD) just get a dirty old Cadbury one! they are better for the money you pay you only pay about 2 NZD for these ones (1 USD)
Microwave the cookie, it'll be softer
Good idea Shreya!! Thanks=)
Yes 20seconds in the microwave. Triple choc or apricot choc are the best
Omg
U have a cookie time cookie
Ooo they are so good ....zap it in the microwave for like 16 seconds....it will blow ur mind!!!...trust me I'm a kiwi I lived on those things
My partner eats her toast and marmite with dadadahhhh jam hahhaha 😂😂🎉
you tought me something im kiwi born and breed never heard of pushing the chip bag up from the bottom.
You need to butter your toast with a decent margarine spread of your choice and be generous with it and then layer the marmite thin and its heaps better and more enjoyable NEVER put a lot of marmite🤣🤣🤣 thats crazy🤣🤣🤣
Jet planes are soooo good
It is a raspberry marshmallow
Dilmah lol thats Indian tea lol
...oh lol
@@MorganMarieWolff most Standard Kiwi Teas are old British Brands like Bell or Bushels im a Tea nutter myself
@@MorganMarieWolff But if I'm honest to myself even the British Brands are Indian or Srilankan ha ha
Dilmah is Sri Lanka.
@@zaynevanbommel5983 Newbie Chanui Tea is not bad. A company based in Christchurch.
I was Born in the next town over from Paeroa a town called Te Aroha (The Love)

To get the full Marmite experience, get a nice piece of WHITE bread put on some butter and a very thin layer of marmite. It is very strong. You put way to much on.....

You forgot the butter and put like 4x too much marmite
If u've never had marmite on toast b4...u gota let someone else who knows prepare it for u...u have to have butter and u put way too much on.
What!!!!....it's yeast extract!!!!
Crisps
L&P tastes like sprite and a ginger ale to me

Seriously?
Nude Donyabusiness - if that's the case what're you doing watching? This is a great distraction and Morgan is sooo much fun!
