NZ Food - ニュージーランド食材あれこれ

コーヒーの街と言われるウエリントン。単に通過するだけの予定だったので、一軒のカフェに入った。カプチーノは凡庸だったが、このトーストは忘れがたい。
Passing through Wellington, now well-known for coffee shops, I dropped in one of them. This toast was impressive while their cappuccino was ordinary.

滞在したマーティンボロの家庭にて、漁師の射止めた伊勢海老を特別計らいで直接取引というご馳走。市場に出回るサイズの2-3倍はあるそうだ。
Being invited to the dinner at my friend's home, the feast was these gigantic crayfish directly obtained from a guy who caught them and the size was obviously 2 to 3 times larger than those found in the market.

同じ猟師の射止めた鹿の尻肉。大きなブロックだった。
Also from the same hunter!

クイーンズタウン空港でも出店があったPatagonia Chocolate。観光客で賑わう湾岸にて、山から降りてひと時の休息。

自炊のモーテルに滞在していた際、スーパーで見つけたオイル・サーディン。$1.40くらい。安い！
よく見るとカナダ産だった。
Oil sardines were handy while I stayed in a motel and also as cheap as NZ$1.40 in the supermarket!
Looking closer, they were from Canada...

クイーンズタウンで一番流行っている店といえば、ハンバーガーのFergburgerだろう。30分くらい行列に並んだ。B&Bに持ち帰りテラスで食べた。肉がしっかりとおいしいので、コクのあるブルーチーズが絶妙のハーモニー。
The most popular spot for food in Queenstown would be definitely Fergburger. I had to be in the queue for half and hour to get one: I took it back to my B&B and ate in the terrace for even better atmosphere. The beef was real and the blue cheese seemed the ideal match in the burger with wonderful harmony.
