1. d) Traditions and Customs
The New Zealanders are pretty similar to the Americans on customs and traditions, at least with food. They have very similar dinner times and lunch. Many other European countries have lunch as the biggest meal, but like America they have dinner as their large meal. They also have it later in the afternoon/late night just like us. Their other similarity with food is their barbecues! These are usually bigger gatherings with meat as the focal point. Same as our parties they have guests bring wines or beers and/or other dishes, they even have big 'potluck' parties. Their main differences are that even though they may stop into cafes for snacks or coffee like us, they still consider restaurants are considered very special occasions. Another very big difference is that as Americans always get take out, Kiwis cook mostly from scratch. They don't even use cake mix!
2. After researching all of this I am so excited to try all of the foods there! I was very eager to eat their new foods even before cooking and researching because I am very open to new foods. I am not picky at all and I don't even think that their food will be that different. They prepare things very much the same as we do just with different ingredients.
