Overtake lane means race is ON. 100% you are correct. You can clip a kiwi's wings but you can't stop them running... swimming, rowing, sailing, punching above their weight. So... what did you think of the place, pretty ay?
Ahhh... A Kiwi spaghetti pizza - deep dish c/w onion, mushrooms, pineapple and tomato, salt and pepper to taste, then topped with grated tasty cheese. Cooked, then if any leftovers, it's better the following day - served cold with a slice of bread and butter
Beetroot On A Burger Is American! OK, before you freak out, hear me out. The story goes that Diggers put beetroot on burgers as a prank on US Marines stationed in Australia during the 1950s, it turned out they liked it and it was actually McDonalds who ran with it bringing out the “All Australian” burger in the 70s. In NZ Maccas released it as the "Kiwiburger". So it could be argued beetroot on a burger was actually made popular by the Americans in AuNZ. What a weird world.
@@fayeandtrevor You would need to be over 80 years old not to have had. Peoples all over the world have been putting beetroot on everything since the Ancient Egyptians.
Yeah, I’ve never been a fan of it either. Even as a young kid, I’m told I wouldn’t touch it. Makes me think of the nature vs nurture debate as one side of my family are Italian. Was my dislike for tinned spaghetti taught me, or is it some sort of weird, inbuilt resistance to bastardized Italian food? 🧐
A clip of the then Prime Minister, Bill English, making a spaghetti pizza made it across the ditch a few years ago. I think I'll give it a miss but I'll search out some cheese rolls when I visit the deep south.
I was thinking the same thing when the spaghetti on pizza was bought up! I've never had that one personally, but did grow up on spaghetti toasties Oh and you have to try the mighty south island cheese rolls! Growing up in the north island I had never heard of them until a few years ago when I moved down to Dunedin. A cheese roll to a north islander is a long bread roll with cheese on top haha.
The poor general standard of driving , with lower test standards and no need to actually sit a full test (many folk drive permanently on Restricted Licences but ignore the restrictions) means that New Zealsnd has a high 'accident'/road-death rate compared to other OECD countries. For example it has 3 times the death rate as the UK, which has busier and faster roads.
My b9 s4 leaves them behind even funnier when my bright yellow nissan note e power medalist shames out those bigger engine cars that try and accelerate to stop me from getting past the banana leaves them behind as well lol
@@alfnoakes392 There is some truth to that, but overall when it come to the fatality rate on our NZ roads is down to people breaking the law eg, speeding, overtaking on yellow passing lines, driving while using phone, drinking/ drug driving, and possibly the worst of all sleeping while driving. too tired and people not seeing the signs and pulling over for a nap. I have had many a nap on the side of the road and it does wonders! Safety first! Better to be late than not arriving at all and cause pain and a big mess for those poor emergency services.
The passing lane thing is a psychology problem - the wider carriageway and extra distance from on-coming traffic makes drivers feel safer and therefore able to take more risk, so they increase their speed unintentionally. Being aware of it solves the issue, so you will check your speed and hold it constant as you reach a passing bay.
I live in a one bedroom apartment and I do not have to turn the heater on at all. It is double glazed and has insulation in the walls. Not all houses in NZ are like the ones you showed in your video.
A lot of New Zealand housing is poorly insulated and very cold in winter. The 'minimum standards' introduced for Rental properties a few years ago still only insist on minimal insulation under the floor and in the attic. Weatherboard walls are still uninsulated and windows are still single-glazed. Hospital admissions due to cold and damp housing are still the norm in winter.
@@alfnoakes392weather boards are on of the better types of cladding as it allows the walls and the house to breathe and ventilate. When compared to passive ventilated or air tight homes which don't breathe. Yes the insulation standards could be better but it all comes down to cost. Given how expensive houses are in new Zealand.
It's kinda obvious that not everyone will be freezing cold. So he wasn't wrong as many homes are cold. He never said 100% of them were so everything is to be taken with a grain of salt. That said, it's great your place is nice and cosy. I use to live in Invercargill but was lucky enough to have heating all through the house. Hopefully one day that's standard for all.
Great list , it’s well known that being able to eat a burger without ruining your clothing with a purple stain is a right of passage for all teenagers in NZ . Spaghetti pizzas never seen one in my 70 years in NZ.
@ Home Economics, when I went to school pretty sure that was for girls maybe called cooking along with sewing , I was busy doing wood work and metal work having said that most of the girls I flatted with in the 70’s couldn’t cook to save themselves and again I never saw a spaghetti pizzas dished up there. Is this a North Island or South Island thing ?
When we lived and worked in California our local always had beetroot option for burgers so that isn't unique to New Zealand. As well, we took tinned spaghetti on our camping trip around Australia 20 years ago. It just came from the shop. So both those claims in the video around food are definitely not true (and cheese on a piza base I think I have seen elsewhere as well). I thoroughly agree about some of the driving behaviors mentioned in the video. I have witnessed careless and inconsiderate drivers and driving habits in the country often. But overall, I think someone making statements about a country, especially the food related ones here, should make sure they are "in fact factual", or else there is no point.
@newzealandstories5621 you must know about "pizza pies" from the tuckshop back in the day though?? 🤣 Basically spaghetti inside of a pie pastry, those were my comfort food from school haha
BEETROOT ON A BURGER IS AUSSIE! Sorry for shouting, but you've already claimed our pavlova and lamington and now beetroot on a burger!?! What next? Vegemite? With the exception of spag on a pizza, all the rest are bogan Aussie.

It's has been well documented that pavlova was created in Australia (Perth) 6 months before the ballerina went to New Zealand, lamingtons are uniquely Queensland named after lord lamington. Please crack a history book before claiming falsehoods. Also the beetroot is an Aussie thing as well but maybe not uniquely Aussie. We call it a burger with the lot or a works burger and usually contains a piece of grilled pineapple.
@@shenlun You're sorta right and sorta not. It really depends on what defines a 'pavlova'. "... Research conducted by New Zealander Andrew Paul Wood and Australian Annabelle Utrecht found that the origins of the modern pavlova can be traced back to the Austro-Hungarian Spanische Windtorte. It was later brought to the United States where German-speaking immigrants introduced meringue, whipped cream, and fruit desserts called Schaumtorte ("foam cake") and Baisertorte. American corn starch packages which included recipes for meringue were exported to New Zealand in the 1890s...''

You missed mince (as in meat) on toast. An old-school Kiwi favourite that is still on the menu in many cafes.
Funny that Au and NZ have so much of the same stuff but not mince on toast. Even the Americans and Brits have a version of it.
Yum cold left over mince stew sandwiches are yum
When my aunty and uncle used to live in Taupo they moved their house in halves from one side of the lake to the other.
Overtaking on parsing lanes is the same in Australia. Ask any Kiwi like me.😎
Au is the worst place I've driven in the western world.
Burger and house price obsession also in Australia
By burger you mean Maccas obsession.

You never did Home economics at school? Spaghetti pizza on a scone base is the first thing you cooked in third form.

I remember in the 1980s, spaghetti on pizza was a student favourite on Friday nights, along with Weetbix for breakfast, lunch, and tea.
Australia has all.this except for the pizza thank God
Im a 35 year old kiwi, and i have never in my life seen or heard of that pizza 😂
Im wondering if its a bit of a "drop beae" situation lol

Dam this is spot on!!! 😅 I love being a kiwi.
bro the overtaking is a fuckin joke in of itself, a cryin shame there
My Audi S4 b9 gaps them all
Born and bred kiwi, i have NEVER heard of or seen spaghetti pizza 😂😂😂
Who ever told you that was pulling your leg lol
