Food in New Zealand

Posted on by

With some delay, here's all the summary details for Food in New Zealand!

At the outset, I would note that I have only very rarely eaten in restaurants since I've mostly cooked me even in the hostels. Reason is not that I did not like the food, but that if one does not just Fish & Ordered chips, everything is very expensive (examples follow).

To mention advance is certainly also that New Zealand is a paradise for vegetarians! In all restaurants, so small they are, there are countless meatless dishes and also on the shelf in the supermarket all vegetarian and gluten-free products can be distinguished.

Generally speaking, the New Zealanders are very concerned with their health and good food here belongs to.

Breakfast do the New Zealanders by the way very much and therefore there is also a plentiful supply like this Egg Benedict with mushrooms (about 12 euros).

Legendary in New Zealand by the way is the coffee !! Everywhere it is offered also to take away and the taste is really good! I think I spent a total of more money on coffee than for food 😉

Food on the go

Since I was most of the time anyway on the way, I have bought in the supermarket breads and spreads. There is a large selection of spreads and dips, as the laughs vegetarians heart! So there are the 8 different varieties of hummus, with feta, sharp with lime, with nut-scraps etc. Even with the dips change comes into play here is mixed sweet and sour, like here the rhubarb / cheese / cashew and Pistazienpestodip!

Probably the most famous next to the kiwi fruit is the Feijoa. It is green on the outside and is eaten like a kiwi. The taste is a little too soap-like for my circumstances.

Drinks

In New Zealand, one likes to drink beer and all different varieties are also interntionale beers.

Also popular is the Cider, a kind of must, which is then enriched with various flavors.

Even the New Zealand wine, especially white wine its reputation is justified.

As mentioned above the national drink is here but surely coffee! Rightly so good as it is too!

Seen Culinary New Zealand has really much to offer, from cheap Fish & Chips on Asian dishes to gourmet food!

Thanks be to God for my budget but taste me the spaghetti with Tomatensouce still best, even here there was a change like this tomato / balsamic Balsamicosouce!

Food in Argentina

p

In my world trip in 2014 I had the good fortune to taste a lot of local food especially in Argentina, since my girlfriend Marcela has cooked for me. In general, the food in Argentina plays a very important social role, as you invite friends and family to an asado again.

Asado, the Argentinean grilled meats

Probably the most popular foods in the Argentine is the beef that you usually grilling, what one calls Asado. Almost all supermarkets offer a wide range of fresh meat.

For large events the whole animal is grilled slowly, a procedure lasts several hours.

Almost all parts of the cow are verwerdet and the big difference between European and Argentinean beef is how it is cut and cut.

The influence of Italian cuisine

Italian immigrants at the time have also brought their penchant for pizza and pasta, so you can enjoy these dishes überaall in various variants in Argentina. The best tasted my homemade gnocci of Marcela and Mauri.

The major competitor of Hamburg is the lomito, a kind of warm sandwich with beef, ham, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and mayonnaise.

Sweet on Sweet

The second great culinary passion of Argentines are sure the sweets of which include most of Dulce de Leche, a caramel cream.

Furthermore, there is in every bakery a wide variety of cakes, biscuits and chocolate .... who we not this weak?

biscuits argentina

Very famous are the Alfajores, 2 cake slices filled differently (usually with Dulce de Leche) and coated with white or dark chocolate with or without Nußsträusel.

Mate

Now I must write a few lines to the national drink Mate course also. Here is a slightly bitter herbal tea, which is drunk around the clock. The Argentines also constantly carry their thermos around with it. The tea is drunk from a vessel that is made out of a pumpkin. You take a metal straw that includes a screen below. Drinking is seen is socially very important and the vessel is passed.

Essen in Chile

The food in the south of Chile consists of many fish dishes, as there is little pasture for cows etc.

Der Apertitiv


In restaurants is usually served with bread butter and advance a Chilean specialty. It is the Pebre: chopped tomatoes and onions, which are flavored with coriander, lemon juice, oil, parsley and green chili.

chile pepper

To do this, then ordered the typical aperitif, the Pisco Sour, a mix of pisco and lemon juice, very delicious! Or in the south to Calafate Sour, which is made with the juice of this fruit shrub.

Fish and Seafood


The fish, mainly hake, salmon, Congrio (Conger) etc. and you can as fried or fried with mushroom or Paprikasouce and various side dishes such as mashed potatoes, or rice croquettes between different cooking methods. Our favorite is the fish with cream Paprikasouce tasted, here called "a la vasca", this must be said that we have only learned to write the article that Congrio eel !! The waiter had in fact sold to us as white fish!

There are also many other seafood such as clams, shrimp and king crab that can be had by European standards to relatively normal to low prices.

Of course, our classic from raw fish, the ceviche should not be missed!

Avocados Süss und


Definitely worth mentioning are the avocado, which is here called locally Paltas with the great variety Palta hatred. Nowhere else have I eaten so delicious avocados, which are found mostly in Chile in all salads.

In general, the Chileans like to eat sweet, sometimes for dinner cake. Here certainly have had their fingers in the pie German immigrants. Very loved here is the Manjar, which is included in other parts of South America Dulce de leche, a sort of caramelized milk which is spread between two cookies or simply smeared on bread.

So, as you see, is not starved in Chile! Let's see what my world tour yet so brings culinary with it! And never forget: scratching ifs forward and bites back, take monastery Melissengeist! 😉

Costa Riquissssima - Essen in Mittelamerika

Delicious and cheap food in Costa Rica

In the 17 days we spent in Costa Rica, we had the opportunity to taste the national dishes. This also does not take too long, because that is the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner here .... mostly rice and beans ...

Gallo Pinto, das Landesgericht

The most famous dish in Costa Rica consists of prepared the day before rice with red beans. Both ingredients with the addition of some spices fried with a little oil in a pan and then together with other side dishes such as scrambled eggs and / or bananas (below) served.

Ceviche – Roher Fisch als Suhsi-Alternative

When Ceviche is a seafood dish that has its origins actually in countries such as Peru, but has been transformed in Costa Rica to a food that is offered almost everywhere.

Kochbananen

At virtually every dish in Costa Rica are served as a side dish plantains.

The second method of preparation is also part of almost every meal. Here the bananas are roasted in the oven on both sides, added a little oil or butter and then cut lengthwise according to taste and add cheese. Above all, this version is for breakfast very popular.

Otherwise, we also eat a lot of fried or deep-fried fish eaten as here, the fajitas into strips.

Essen Costa Rica

Since it is mainly consumed in Costa Rica, what is grown in their own country, there is the typical food stalls, the "soda" rather little varied dishes as above.

wpid-soda-costa-rica2.jpg

Aber natürlich gibt es fast überall auch internationale Restaurants mit Essen aus aller Welt, wobei man hier tiefer in die Tasche greifen muss. Während man in Sodas für ca. 5 Euro ein Hauptgericht bekommt, muss man dafür in einem Restaurant fast das doppelte einrechnen.

Are very popular in Costa Rica and the fresh fruit juices and milkshakes which are available everywhere for about 2 euros. You fit especially in the hot months to excellent salads.

Even though we are now a long time no rice to eat more beans, tasted it to us anyway in Costa Rica!
