Kiwifruit guys, kiwi is the bird or the local people - not to be eaten. Pams brand, home brandcare never as good as a name brand. Try arnott brand biscuits

Sad to see such a happy , positive and vibrant channel slowly fade away. Was looking forward to all of the potential adventures and sites around New Zealand that Emma and Tom were going to explore. As well really engaged with the vibrancy and excitement that Emma emanated for this adventure with Tom. It has been over a year since any posts have occurred from Emma and Tom and total silence as they no longer respond or react to comments. Hope that they are both well and OK in the world as it looks like they have "moved on".

The cheap brands make shortcuts which alter the taste and texture dramatically.

That's sacrilege saying Cadbury is better than Whittakers given the history with Cadburys in nz

If the fejoa was sour and not to sweet, it wasn't ready to eat. Trust me. It's delicious when it the skin isn't as hard and you can kinda press in the skin. It's so good I feel offended you didn't like fejoa😂😂

Great video! Definitely agree with some of the comments already mentioned: 1. Pineapple Lumps are the original...the darker chocolate goes well with the sweeter pineapple inside. 2. Arnotts version is better - sorry Griffins, but I think Arnotts came out with these first. 3. Any kiwifruit is delicious - I like the golden one, as I find that one sweeter but I guess that can change depending how ripe it is. 4. Choccie Fish - another kiwi icon, just delish! 5. The sugar bun looks more like a rock cake with jam. I was expecting to see the NZ version of the Sally Lunn. 6. L&P - just goodness in a bottle. Nice with Southern Comfort or some other whiskey. Could be a NZ version of the Canadian Dry drink. 7. Belgian Creams - nice but as others have mentioned, Cameo Cremes are so good. 8. Feijoa - an acquired taste for sure. Feijoa wine or liqueur is nice. Check our Lothlorien Winery in a place called Ahuroa, about 10-15 drive on from Puhoi (north of Auckland). 9. Perky Nana - just nice 10. Whittakers Hokey Bar - all the variations are nice. I still prefer the original Peanut Slab that was served without any wrappers and just in a small paper bag (back in the 80s). Some recommendations, my own opinion anyway: Caramel Chew or the Peppermint Chew K-Bars (if you have strong teeth) Griffins Chocolate Chip biscuits Any meat pie from a bakery...but the Pak 'n' Save pies made on-site are nice though. But find an award-winning bakery, there's plenty around.

Like a rock cake I used to buy from Penny Lanes in Northcote Auckland in the 80’s.

Sugar Buns are great. NOT a scone and Pak n Save are cheap version You didn't buy the best. But no pleasing him, his face screwed up before even trying

Cadbury Chocolate was Best when made in New Zealand. It's made in Australia now Not NZ

Sugar Buns are definitely NOT a scone

Hi don't call the fruit kiwi the name of the fruit is Kiwifruit

Belguim slice wouldve been better than those horrible biscuits..or homemade

Should have peeled the kiwi

You were led slightly astray with some of those choices. I'd love to see someone try a lamington. I don't mind in the least you didn't like feijoas (they're a South American fruit) because it remains yet another best-kept Kiwi secret.

You need to try the Whittaker almond gold slab😊

Naaah hokey pokey slab 😂 never get the hokey hokey slab. Always go peanut 😂

Next time try feijoa lollies, sherbet fabulicious and toffee pop biscuits.

The biggest mistake is? Pak n sav the worst supermarket in New Zealand. You pay for what you get. Cheap crap

I know it's an old video, but I think feijoa is bland without eating the skin. Eat the skin next time. The inside and outside flavours together balance each other out imo. I should say I'm not from nz, but I've lived here for ten years. At first I was quite taken aback by how pungent the feijoa is, then I got addicted to them lol. I order 5kg to 10kg direct from an orchard every year. As for the sweets in nz, I haven't found anything good yet. I buy american import sweets, but I agree with the other commenter who said Pam's mint treats are better than the name brand ones. But, much like you, I love chocolate mint things. The choco mint ice cream in nz leaves a lot to be desired, however.

1. Should have gotten Pascall Pineapple Lumps instead of the pams brand 2. Should have bought Arnotts Mint Slice instead of the Mint Treat. 3. All colours of kiwifruit are delicious. some people eat the skin, some dont. Green tend to be sweeter, gold tend to be tangy, red tend to be slightly be sour. 4. Cadbury Chocolate Fish is Great! Good pick guys 5. Its just a bun. Not specifically from NZ. But they are delicious. 6. L&P Lemon and Paeroa. Paeroa is a town in in the north island of NZ. L&P was traditionally made by combining lemon juice with naturally carbonated mineral water from the town of Paeroa. Today, it is manufactured by Coca-Cola. 7. Not personally a fan of Belgian Cremes. I prefer Cameo Cremes. 8. Fejoa. Most people like them. 9. Perky Nana is a NZ Icon. Grew up getting these at the local dairy. 10. ALL Whittikers Chocolate is Great. And Hokey Pokey is a good choice! Enjoyed watching! Thanks

Who on earth gave you this list? No toffee pops, no crunchie bars, whittakers creamy milk, yeah, you have a lot to try out.

Pams choc pineapple lumps, yeah NAH. Next time try the real thing.

Your feijoa and kiwifruit looked a bit under ripe, they should both be super soft, sweet and juicy. Feijoa can be dry and floury unless ripe, similar to under ripe bananas. I like them a bit under ripe, not ideal when you have never eaten them before. Get a guide to ply you with the perfect fruit next time for a divine experience.

Oh your fejoa looked a bit off. If you have them early they are tart and tangy. If you let them ripen slight soft to the touch they are sweet and delicious. You gus got a dud. If you can find a neighbour that has a tree they can probably let you have some early then later in the season. The trees produce alot of fruit. There are a few varieties aswell.

The Kiwi fruit and the feijoa were not fully ripe.

Paeroa (Pie-rower)

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 🤬

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

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

Whittakers is far superior to the apology for Cadbury they ship in from Australia. The Hokey Pokey bar is a new gimmick flavour. Try Peanut Slab, Almond or Fruit and Nut for a proper test. Try the 'Pams' brand mint slice or caramel treat - superior to the named brand alternatives. Feijoas. The one you had had started to ferment - they should not be brown inside. That said, you either love them or hate them - apparently it's a human genetic thing and it depends if you can taste a certain chemical in them. I hate them - to me they taste like cheap perfume. The other fruit was a kiwifruit - not a kiwi in NZ. The birds are Kiwis, New Zealanders are kiwis, fruit are kiwifruit. Wait until the green ones are in season and the markets are full of 'seconds' - the ones that are too big or misshapen for export. They will be quite cheap too. Season lasts about a month so get to them quickly.

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

Funny how Poms always refer to themselves as British.

Hey Tom & Emma. What happened to you both? Everything just stopped early into your adventure 7 months ago. Both here and your Instagram have gone completely silent. Hope you are both OK.

Great video guys - as my Mum always says you don't skimp - buy quality Queen Anne, Whittakers, Lewis Road etc. I'll keep watching x

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!

Greymouth is on the west coast not the east coast! god i was Canterburian for 40 years, i would know! yes arthurs pass is a great place for a walk/tramp/climb, !!! Thanks for sharing

Hey team, you guys still alive and in NZ, its been a minute

Feijoa needs Vodka - amzing

On my recent trip to the South Island, we spent our time in the Queenstown area. Thank you for providing another view of what we missed. We went to the Arrowtown fall festival and I was surprised that there was no apple cider or apple pie like in the US. No pumpkin pie either. I am surprised that your partner wears a Minnesota Vikings cap.

Where are you? I miss you!! 😥

If you want a professional critic about food hire that guy you can guarantee nothing will pass his scrutiny except chocolate fish which are the worst sweet made in NZ 😊

Great video and music, many thanks 😊

Hello...can you give me some idea how to make a itenirary to christchurch ..im planning to visit next month..what are the tourist attractios that i see in chrischurch.can you give a list...thank you

Kia Ora please understand the maori people when you hike to keep you safe. Aeoteroa is such a spiritual place.😊

Kia Ora absolutely love your vloggs. But could you possibly get to know the Maori pronunciation of the names of the towns you go to. Massive Aroha

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.

Love visiting Dunedin , being a University City , very vibrant in so many ways . The students are known as " Scarfies " probably wear scarves in the colder weather . Baldwin Street is the steepest street , worth a visit . Speights Brewery , Larnach castle and the Blue penguin colony also worth stopping at , glad you are enjoying the South Island .

The settlers museum has definitely improved from when i was a kid, it was essentially just pictures of the early settlers, the highlight was seeing Josehpine (train engine) out the front. Glad to see you enjoyed my hometown, its not on the usual tourist routes.
