Maori food

New Zealand food:

A Hangi is an old way of cooking food as done by the Maori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) today and by their ancestors before them. Today a hangi is prepared for special occasions. Basically it involves cooking in the ground, though you can use more modern methods and prepare a hangi using special stainless steel technology. Both produce yummy food.

They used to eat birds, roots leaves and fish. That was their source of food.

In traditional life, New Zealand's Māori people were hunters, gatherers and crop farmers who harvested their food from the forest, stream, sea and garden.Seashells and crayfish were also harvested.Fresh seafood was usually cooked by laying the flesh on heated rocks. Shellfish were often eaten raw. They saved some of their fish most of the time to trade or eat later. They hung some of their sea food up to dry in the sun.

Now days people just put it in the barbecue and cook them on it. They eat the same fish and enjoy the same meals we just cook them differently from way back in the day.
