- There are certain things in New Zealand that you will always find here. Let's chat about the most common Kiwi things guaranteed to be seen when you head down under!
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.

The ozone holes grow over the polar regions , not over a specific country, NZ happens to get affected by the Antarctic ozone hole. Pollution from various chemicals released anywhere in the world cause the holes. Chlorofluorocarbons used as propellants in aerosol cans and in refridgeration were the major contributors
Other things you'll also always find in NZ - sandflies and mosquitos. The sandflies down south will carry away small children and livestock. The mosquitos are tiny, but all carry tasers and a bad attitude, and they will fvck you up. More interesting flavours of potato chips/crisps. The US might have a dozen brands, but you can usually oly find 3-4 flavours. Opposite here. Half a dozen brands, but dozens of flavours and lots of odd seasonal flavours come out each year. Whomever thought 'lamington cake' was a good idea for a potato chip should be awarded a prize for creativity and then shot for crimes against taste. Same for breakfast cereals.
lol OMG the sandflies are SO bad. They'll literally drive you mad.
The Windows screensaver is Wharariki Beach, not Cathedral Cove.
we use American mustard which I love for American foods and sausage sizzles. However the other mustard you are probably referring to is English mustard. I think many nz'ers traditionally don't use much sauce due to meat being so good and not wanting to hide the taste. With globalization and popular youtube channels like HotOnes sauces are becoming more and more popular.
That makes sense, your meat is so tasty!
@@MorganMarieWolff ...ummm
I like your take on New Zealand culture and traditions.
Thanks, Sharlea!
The paul guy stated why our UV is worse. The 'hole' has lessened, but it'll take probably 100 years to properly recover? Third world countries are still using the old CFC's and in high fire risk in valuable equipment/ plant- military plant, aircraft etc, I think it's used as an extinguishant as when in the product, it's very efficient and so less compound is required.
This year, the Tongan volcanic eruption has thinned the ozone and made quite a difference to our UV levels because you get sulphates and sulphides released and high up in the atmosphere, they chemically react and you lose free ozone (O3). They are not cfc's though and so the damage is not very long lasting.
The ozone hole is over the antarctic, because winds and 80's hairspray. We're just pretty close by
Thank you! Can't wait to spend several months there later this year.
Green Stone - Pounamu is, or can be, beautiful, and manufactured into unique jewellery. Tourists collectively buy tons/tonnes of greenstone. There is hopefully still plenty remaining yet not inexhaustible. As a people we need to look after our naturally occurring treasurer and not exhaust them by exploitation for Tourist money.
I agree, Bruce!
Pounamu 💚
@@MorganMarieWolff New Zealand green stone is only naturally found in the south Island rivers .Jade is the name used for 'green stone' from over sea's .many of the tourist green stone sold is not New Zealand green stone at all .New Zealand Ponamu is usually lighter colour and very valuable .
@@NZKiwi87 the google translation reads "bottle"😳🙄
Thin ozone here is mostly due to Mt Erebus in Antarctica spewing out ozone depleting volcanic gasses and the Polar Vortex which prevents new ozone from migrating to the area. So yes sunscreen is very necessary, it doesn't just burn fast it burns deep here.
We should definitely do a petrol station dairy comparison on meat pies
Can't wait for your pie video lol
What petrol stations are the best?
Yeah I am curious too just wanna know what rivalry we got here with pies.
You should try the Caltex and gulf garage they have the mean as pies
The Yellow/American/Tasteless Mustard is common, but equally common is English Mustard and Dijon Mustards. Lots of others, but those would be the 3 most common across most of the country. You'll also find older people liking Coleman's Mustard in various baked things (especially savouries) but that's dying out beyond use in Devilled Eggs.
I was just talking to my mom and she asked if Kiwi's like devilled eggs?
Love devilled eggs, but the home cook has to make them for party platters n stuff lol. Sadly things come and go. It's the modern life and that generation where they were commonplace have died out? Home cooking changes, new cook books and many I think, don't really cook like they used to?
They were a cheap and easy thing that tasted great.
The English mustard is more of a tradition in NZ and used to be made at home with the powder back in the day. It is stronger and has much more of a "bite" to it than the American style. American mustard is very bland almost tasteless by comparison - not a fan of it.
Greenstone is primary given as a gift, or for some achievement.
Watties was set up for food war effort during WW2.
Watties was the major producer of canned and frozen fruit and vegetables and based in Hastings.
They are now Heinz Watties Ltd
Yes the owner purchased Watties so that they got the Bake Beans recipe. And Yes I loooove watties aka Heinz bake beans, cold on hot toast slathered with butter.
Sunburn's not just from the slightly lower level of ozone; the lack of dust and pollution makes a big difference too.
Its cute how you say watties, sounded more like waddies. Cute :)
Also mustard goes with watties on a sausage (a sausage in bread often with cooked onion mustard and tomato sause aka watties) :D
Of you want to pronounce it like a kiwi its pronounced What-Tees but i hope you don't, i like how you say it :)
Mayonnaise is better than mustard IMO. Strong mustard is awful. But I do like the more edible ones. If we are talking about Watties specifically I'm not sure, as I haven't tried it. I don't really buy Watties sauces as they tend to be pretty bland.
That's the one. Be you. I find you're vids extreamly amusing
I like how she is trying to pronounce the maori words.
I know, so bad!!
@@MorganMarieWolff no, not at all! It’s absolutely commendable that you’re trying and I appreciate it :)
@@NZKiwi87 what a great reply I'm part Maori I get corrected all the time buy Maori , really bro show me your tereo degree didn't think so, not that important huh
New Zealand might only be the the 8th biggest _producer_ of milk, but it's the highest _exporter_ of milk worldwide, with exports in 2021 worth more than twice the combined second and third highest exporters, Germany and the US respectively. As with many other areas, New Zealand punches well above its weight. New Zealand also boasts the most golf courses per capita and has more Scottish piping bands per capita than Scotland.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
was the Operations Manager of ADT Armourguard in Tauranga for 5 years (ADT is an American Company American District Telegraph)
Well you've just answered your fly problem, " Ccws "
Yeap cows = flies
U learn this song in primary School
FYI
And I'm a kiwi 🥝
Living in Colorado
Damn, you leave the best Bay for BoP and as a final insult you say that Watties is in Napier when it’s in Hastings. 😏
I have to say that watties products, as a more aware person than before , has far tooooo much sugar in ALL of it's products! (Except frozen vege.) The baked beans, sauces and so on and this is why I've gone off these NZ products Oak too.
We used to get Whitlocks and their tomato cause was not the bright red dyed sauce, but probably much closer to the ketchup product? Alas, not made in wanganui for decades; a family company ,but now owned by a company based in Singapore and made in Australia-in puny bottles- no bulk tubs.. and sweet. Used to get piccadilly and soooo much more.
Apple products used to taste of apple! Like this german apple pie flan I used to get from aldi in oz- taste! Now there and here, they're just congealed packets of snot.
It really comes to blame the neoliberal economics and the political people that forced that upon us. Reagan, Thatcher, Douglas- whether he was told to do it, but it was his philosophy and alllll those others that still have that as the economic model- even the labour government - they're all neo liberal economists -the big corporate that destroys small business, allows for mergers/ takeovers global enterprises- shipping parts to make and products all over back and forth over the globe, gobbling up the world's finite resources in everything- more co2 release- going down the wormhole to oblivion.
Really, this is what's happening! -The slash, down the rivers in the Hawkes Bay- that's what broke the bridges. Overseas companies with dubious reputations running the show. The slash took out those crops for a lot of it.
Hi Australia has more sheep in total an NZ.
I did not know that! Thanks, Stevie=)
Yank mustard has absolutely no guts to it. Got to get a hot English mustard.
Merino wool is were the money is at, also very tasty
About time you made a bad video Morgan! So far they've only been funny, on point, interesting and relevant. Surely you can make something boring, offensive and dull... others manage so it can't be too hard! ❤️
You really need to get down to the South Island as we are even more Kiwi down here. 😉But seriously, you're a delight Love your vids. 🙂
Makatu Pies are in the BOP and are the Bomb
Whitlocks is better than Wattie's if you want a good sauce.
Cleaner air and not having as much pollution is a great thing, but unfortunately, the sun penetration seeps through us in NZ harsher for us all in NZ
Yes, the hole in the ozone layer as a major factor re sunburn in NZ is way over stated if not plainly mythical. The clear air and lack of pollutants such as dust and smog lets more sun through so is stronger.
Maybe Thai Sweet Chilli and Sriracha sauces are more popular in New Zealand. Apart from that go to any Asian supermarket and look for sauces made by Lee Kum Kee especially their Hoisin sauce and Oyster sauce. Don't forget the soya sauce made by Kikkoman (Japan) and Pearl River Bridge (Chinese).
Sounds yum Andrew!
@@MorganMarieWolff The Thai sweet chilli, Sriracha, oyster sauce, soy sauce. Kewpie (Japanese) mayonnaise and Kewpie Roasted Sesame work as dipping sauces. However, most Lee Kum Kee sauces are for Cantonese cooking, not for dipping. Many English speakers get confused with dark soy sauce, which is thicker than the usual thinner soy sauce, which uses colouring and marination only. Lee Kum Kee is the largest Cantonese sauce maker in Hong Kong and Kewpie is the largest mayonnaise maker in Japan. You can find all of them at Asian supermarkets or in the international food section at mainstream New Zealand supermarkets. Lee Kum Kee has its own English website with Asian recipes in English.
Mustard isn't really a thing we put with tomato sauce. When we want mustard most kiwi's mix up some Colmans mustard powder to their required taste hot or hotter. To steal something from the Aussie Crocodile Dundee "Call that a mustard. This is a mustard"
ha ha I did my high school in Tauranga Boys and Otumoetai College lol
Whare means house and nui means big. Green stone has a whole bunch of rules surrounding it. There was a case in the early 2000s where a father and son helicopter pilots David and Morgan Saxton were jailed for stealing greenstone from Ngai Tahu maori land and the son was released from prison awaiting a legal appeal and he crashed his chopper in2 lake Wanaka. I'm Maori culture that is called matuku. Of course some say he crashed his chopper because he was texting on his cell phone. I just don't know myself
Damn texting while flying is straight up stupid lol
Oh Morgan, you might LOVE pies by Rainbow Pies here in Nelson area - they’re award winning vegan gluten free pies 👍 maybe I should figure out how to send you a couple
In te reo Maori you have to roll the r in words like wharenui.
Bp don't have horrible meat pies but...they are just big Ben brand
I proposed to my wife at Omanawa Falls and McLaren Falls and at the Kaimai Look out it was a long proposal lol you have to check them out in summer take your Togs (Swimming Clothes)
P.S. We are not mean down South. 😊
Why Gas station pies? Try any Bakery for pies, numerous flavors and fillings, you might even find Cheese Rolls to try, ask for them, more common in the Southern part of the Mainland (the South Island). And you have to understand that New Zealand has only come out of the Dark Ages in 1984, yes that date was a change of Government and the repeal of many a regulatory requirements some for the better and others not so good,.
The silver firm logo is warn by our sporting elite when they represent the country. It's also the name of NZs national women's rugby team, just like the allblacks are the men's team and our national cricket team is called the black caps.
Watties now owned by Heinz Mustard Hot English (very hot) would not want that on a hot dog believe me
Americans don't like mustard, you guys like some runny yellow sauce that has had most of the taste removed. English mustard, made by Coleman, that has some punch to it, that's mustard.
The main reason all our low lying rivers are dead ...Cows.
co row man dell
Stubby is very normal and no bloody shoes...not like in America!!!
Can't walk around bare foot 👣 in Colorado!!!!!
For a second there I thought you said the most communist things in NZ. Lucky you clarified straight afterwards! And I do appreciate the leaving it in the video regardless. Humility is a virtue not a vice:)
don't come to Australia if you hate flies lol NZ Flies are respectful compared to Australian Flies in Australia they have Horse flies that are HUGE and they bite not joking
dont forget about sheeps we aint sheep shaggers for nothng lol
NZ is pretty boring 🤷♂️
It’s Coro Mandel not Coroman Del
Emphasis on the M not the D
Your welcome 😉
kiwis dont like to hear it, but they‘re pretty bad at dairy
I used to work in dairy, in what way is it bad? The only downside I see is the environmental cost but NZ does better than many countries in that regard and its certainly one of the most efficient and competitive markets in the world. Compare to the UK where taxpayers have to massively subsidise the entire ag sector just to stop it collapsing, the NZ dairy looks very good.
@@DomingoDeSantaClara
I think we have different understandings of „good“.
I have no idea about england, I‘m in europe.
1) NZ dairy destroys the environment. it‘s not just a bit bad, it‘s final destruction that can never be rebuilt. poisoned groundwater, eroded land.
in europe, dairy has been done since millenia, the nature can cope.
2) european farmers are subsidised, the result of that is affordable healthy food for the poor masses.
In NZ, produce is expensive so the poor eat shit and become obese and mentally ill
3) europe makes good cheese.
NZ does expost the lowest value product (milk) instead of making something of higher value our of it. pure idiocy. and NZ cheese is just not good.
european famers often dont own the land, therefore dont need loans and dont get rich and agriculture is not about money but feeding its own citizens.
kiwi farmers are only about money, slaves to bank loans and only money on their minds.
some get rich. that‘s not good!
@@TheMntnG although I can agree on some things, some of the things you point out are economic problems rather than farming issues. The government has plenty of opportunities to legislate to make food cheaper for NZ citizens, it not a fault of the industry. Re subsidies, it may ensure some products land on the shelf at a cheaper price, but people have paid towards those products regardless of buying them or not. I'm not sure how a cow in NZ is more polluting than a cow in the EU? NZ cows are on pasture all year round, EU cows spend half the year inside, using electricity, requiring diesel tractors to be constantly feeding out or cleaning up after them, along with the huge costs of growing, harvesting and storing all that food, and extra vet costs associated with being crowded together, and on concrete.
@@TheMntnG subsidising farmers doesn't save the public money, it just makes them wasteful with fertilisers. The issue is that our produce doesn't have competition in New Zealand, we're a captive market with no choice but to pay whatever supermarkets set prices at.
@@TheMntnG I've heard good things from Europeans about our blocks of cheese in comparison to the same shit they get, the only issue is that we don't produce good brie, camembert, mozzarella or many higher end cheeses.
Choice video. When comparing pies to cost, the best NZ pie is the Australian Mrs. Mac's pies lolololol
Mix the Mrs. Mac's with the true Aussie Crown Cola, you've got yourself a good time. The nacho cheese in the Chilli Beef and Cheese pies are tasty
In all honesty, Dad's Pies from BP. Their Angus Steak and Cheese. oof the best.
Irvine's are disgusting! Anybody who like Irvine's must have been dropped on their head as a child.
Entering pie chat..Ms macs too much crust
@@kotukuwhakapiko467 and fake cheese and gross everything else
My big brother said you keep saying Marry for Maori, I'm deaf, but can of course speak, I was taught Mole-ree. (said quickly) You can buy gluten free pies, there's heaps around. Traditional home made mustard on ham and in cooking is great, my Gran/Mum are the best, don't at all like the American one, far too mellow and sweet, Dijon (however it's spelt) is also mellow. The UV in NZ is the highest in the world, also we fight with Aussie for the most cases of skin cancer, even on cloudy days during summer you really do have to use sunscreen. Love your pod casts, I'm still young enough to think about my vocation, yours is, forgive the pun, food for thought. 🧏 Stephanie
