The thing to remember about "Kiwi ingenuity" is, until the late 70's, NZ was SOOO cut off from the rest of the world. I remember my cousin going to Australia in the early 70's on a ship! Only the very rich could afford to fly. So we had to "make do" with what we had. And what farmers had a lot of was #8 fencing wire. Nobody I know tried to eat it, but it was used for every other thing under the sun.

When I was at school, we used to eat the top pastry of the pie, then use potato chips (crisps) to scoop out the filling - then if you had some potato chips left fill the empty pie case with the chippies, fold up the pastry and eat (I guess like a chippy sandwich of sorts). I remember seeing an episode of Mary Berry and her and a friend made Asparagus rolls which was apparently a very popular hors d'oeuvres in the 50's and 60's.

Like every other kid I always turned my nose up at the asparagus rolls. I hadn't seen them for many years until one day as an adult I was at a function where they were being served, and I figured that I may as well give one a try. Wew. I couldn't believe it, I found them to be absolutely delicious. I was circling around them like a vulture waiting to devour all the ones that would be leftover when there inevitably wasn't enough adults to eat them all. So yeah, definitely an adult thing.

Secret to making tasty chips. Chefade (can use a pot) agora or moon or any white fleshed potatoe that's not as moist as the yellow or those other white ones that go mushy when deep fried. Never remove the skin as most people don't realise that's where the flavour is. Chefade is used as it makes the exposed flesh crunchy. I find oil doesn't do that the chips tend to go soggy somewhat.

All their flavours are good but the steak, mushroom and truffle cheese are out of this world delicious. 2nd best would be Fairlie Bakehouse roast pork, apple sauce pie with a huge piece of crackling on top. Best in Wellington would be Arobake steak and cheese. The problem is once you try these you won't want to go back to Big Ben, Irvines or pretty much any dairy pie.

I had never liked asparagus (Canned or boiled) until I tried the Roman (as in the Empire) method of cooking it. You don't put it in water and boil it. You put it directly into boiling water and count to 25 then drain and eat. It entirely changed the flavour for me and I will eat it happily IF and ONLY IF, it is cooked that way. Try it, it should be crunchy, like a slightly soggy lettuce leaf.
