Pretty western style then. Guess the Maori history hasn't influenced food too much

 

[chickenman]

Maoris do have the special feast similar to the Hawaiian luau when we were there we were mostly on liquid diet almost 100% so should be good eaten by the time we get down there now that I don't drink more than a fish

 

[chickenman]

here ya go a traditional Maori feast called a Hangi
Could live with that....

 

[chickenman]

A Maori hymn of universal peace and love...
They are very spiritual people..

1. O Lord, God,
   of nations and of us too
   Listen to us,
   Cherish us
   Let goodness flourish,
   May your blessings flow.
   Defend
   Aotearoa
2. Let all people,
   Red skin, white skin
   Maori, Pakeha,
   Gather before you
   May all our wrongs, we pray,
   Be forgiven
   So that we might say long live,
   Aotearoa
   
   
3. May it be forever prestigious,
   May it go from strength to strength
   May its fame spread
   Far and wide,
   Let not strife
   Nor dissension ensue,
   May it ever be great
   Aotearoa
   
   
4. Let its territory,
   Be ever enlightened
   Throughout the land,
   Let envy and dissension
   Be dispelled,
   Let peace reign
   Over
   Aotearoa.
   
   
5. Let its good features endure,
   Let righteousness and honesty
   Prevail,
   Among the people of God
   Let it never be ashamed,
   But rather let its name be known
   Thereby becoming the model to emulate
   Aotearoa.
