The meat and poultry industries offer many different cuts of meat for the consumer. Here I will attempt to tickle your taste buds and show what is available for you to eat and drink while in New Zealand. As you can see from the pics above fruit and vegetables are abundant in New Zealand and are a staple part of the average New Zealand diet. Fruit and vegetable shops are plentiful in the towns and cities and the supermarkets also carry a wide range of them. The pics show only a few of what is available and New Zealand fruit and vegetables are exported worldwide.
Summer is a time for BBQ's and salads are always on the menu.
These usually consist of a cup of tea or coffee or some other drink and something to eat. The choices and cuts of meat and poultry are plentiful. Fresh meat can be purchased in supermarkets prepacked or in butcher shops which are plentiful throughout New Zealand. It is offered plain, crumbed, marinated or if purchasing meat through a butcher shop, the butcher will be willing to prepare the meat how you would like it. It is common in New Zealand for a household to buy its meat as a whole or side or beef, pork, lamb, hogget or mutton through a butcher who cuts the meat into the different cuts and packs it into the meal sizes that are requested, eg for a family of 4.
