Making a Meal of It

Gisborne. May 2009. Ajr

Am I imagining it or it the hangi suddenly becoming fashionable?

Maybe it's just more common in the North Island. When I was travelling up there recently I came upon everything from Whakarewarewa's hangi pie (see my May blog) to Northland roadside vendors selling 'hot hangi for $10' and this Gisborne takeaway outlet selling hangi meals, fish and chips, creamed mussels, sticky pork, steamed puddings and, as they say, "a whole lot more."
