Hangi at Raglan
sorry guys! been a bit slow with the old blog in the last few weeks since parents(x2)arrived in the country.
this is a traditional Maori meal we had with our church at the end of November called a Hangi.
basically what happens is a large hole is dug in the ground in the morning, a fire lit in the hole then rocks or pieces of railway tracks are placed on the fire which retain the heat. food is placed in cages over the top then covered in flax/cloth and buried underground for at least 6-8hrs.
the result? - a pretty foul tasting meal - very bland with a slight smoky/muddy flavour! but a great experience all the same
