It's the only chocolate worth buying. The Nestle and Kraft products also use palm oil so they're a no-go in my house. It's not just a matter of taste, either. Palm forests annihilate native habitats for native animals.
I actually heard her tell Glen he had a "poxy" pie lol... he wanted a taste of whatever it was she'd bought but Mado was "not" sharing" lol. I loved these two characters. Its been a pleasure following them through all their NZ adventures.
As a person from Christchurch NZ, I can assure you "tea" meaning dinner is very common and is easily distinguishable from "tea" meaning drink because the drink usually has the prefix "cuppa" as in "cuppa tea".
yes this one was a strange one for me as well. I couldn't believe that you called supper tea and had tea hot in a cup with milk. When I was little my cousin must have been married to an english lady and for breakfast we thought she made a few mistakes for one she gave us a cup we thought must have been coffee that we was not old enough to drink but then we learned that she had put tea in in instead of coffee plus she put ketchup on our scrambled eggs. We was a little shocked that a grown woman could do this. We lived in the states. So it was a little strange to us. We drank ice tea and never put ketchup on our eggs. It is almost impossible to go out here in NZ and order ice tea. As a matter of fact you rarely get ice in any drink unless you request it. I have been in NZ for 25 years now I still say supper. I do warn people that visit that when tea is offered it is hot in a cup and usually with milk and they usually reply oh no.
Whittakers chocolate is still made with sugar as other brands use palm oil and sweeteners, pride in made in New Zealand products has become a popular thing for us kiwis and we all so appreciate guests coming to nz to experience our true love for life thank you for your love
My Korean friends Missus is over from Florida... though she's originally from one of the Spanish speaking islands need to aske her later, but anyway, the first thing I asked the bro is what he and the missus are up to, then... (exact wording) "anyway, just make sure she has Whittaker's chocolate, just to show her the truth about chocolate."
Thankyou so much guys for being in New Zealand, you have probably enriched so many kiwis who have not actually seen their own country including me.........happy trails
Most likely shop owners are from overseas otherwise always known as trolley who get gathered up from the car parking area by the supermarket "trolley boy" from those who are too lazy to take them back.
The bird is a probably bell bird and a marmite has to be spread really thinly and is great on buttered toast. A jar will last years. You probably put too much on. It’s like saying you don’t like salt because you poured it on your food.
@@trevorturner9182 I agree, it takes years of proper training (literally from birth!) to get the butter to marmite ratio exactly right! Actually, I’m a bit of marmite traitor, I prefer Vegemite! 😂
@@mattieclan8957 I like it on hot toast (Vogels is a favourite) with some thickish slices of tomato sprinkled with a bit of black pepper. Great afternoon tea with a cuppa. :-) (A slice of cheese in there won't hurt either, cheddar or something like that, not the processed cheese slices, they go kinda sticky on my teeth!)
Haha, a "yeah nah" from both of you in your piece. And neither of you called the other out on it, so it must be in everyday conversation between you both. Love it!😂
We found it hard when we immigrated to NZ.People would invite us and say “Bring a plate”???? We assumed that they didn’t have enough empty plates so we brought extras.But” bringing a plate was to contribute food to the meal or supper😝😝😝😝That was usual
"Bring a plate" -"Should we put something on it?" "We'll shout you" (Shout means "treat") -"No thanks I have sensitive ears" Or the classic is Kiwis pronouncing "e" as "i"... "Would you like you see my deck?" (pronounced "dick") -"Is that appropriate in public?"
Love it, one time when I was working night shift, my friends car window was frosted over. He couldn't be bothered waiting for it to defrost so he drove with his head out the window 😅, scary ride home to say the least
The colourful sweets used in the lolly cake are (firm) marshmallow pieces . Once called Eskimos but now renamed Explorers by Pascalls found at all supermarkets and dairies. Love your Channel!
As an expat Canadian who has been living in New Zealand for over 20 years, I have enjoyed watching your journey through my adopted home. Insurance is cheap in New Zealand because we have a no fault insurance scheme called the Accident Compensation Commission which covers all accidental injuries, including car accidents. It even covers tourists. As someone else commented, a good way to be introduced to Vegemite is by spreading it thinly on a piece of toast and grilling cheese on it - called my some a "mousetrap". People think it is a sweet spread like Nutella, so are often unpleasantly surprised. One of my favourite discoveries was afghans - a tasty biscuit with a dollop of chocolate ganache topped with a walnut. Yum.
Pies are life! Thats too true haha. Can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Can even eat them for a midnight snack. Just always make sure to blow on your pie 😂
Really enjoyed your videos from NZ. As a videographer myself I really appreciate the great work you put into these to make them very easy to watch and you both are naturals in front of the camera!😊
You rock Glen and Mado. Have really enjoyed your personal take on the places you visited in NZ. Awesome couple of human beings in my reckoning. Much love and blessings from me and my whanau from Marlborough Sth Island NZ
Rabbits were originally bought by settlers as food, but lots of food escaped! Possums were bought from Australia to start a fur industry. It did not go well so they were released into the bush where they have thrived, unfortunately.
Stoats we’re brought in to deal with the rabbits and was the biggest mistake our ancestors made. Stoats are the biggest killer of our bird life. They don’t just kill for food. They kill everything because it’s part of their nature
It has been lovely to follow you as you traveled around my county, you showed me many beautiful walks I wish I was able to do but afraid as I am getting old now I will never be fit enough to get to those amazing places. Good luck to you both back in Germany, where my husband is from but has been in NZ since he met me over 57 years ago. He fell in love with me and our country
Glad you guys enjoyed your time here,come back and visit have a place for you to stay,have enjoyed your honest thoughts and experiences of our country 😎
Kia Ora Glen and Mado!! Enjoyed watching your journey throughout NZ! You've promoted our little slice of paradise 'Mean As!' and have probably seen more of it than many Kiwi's! 😃!! Please take with you the Kiwi slang "As!" and ADD it liberally to any (unfinished) "simile" you might use in future!! eg: "Sweet As!, Tasty As! Hot As! Cold As! Short As! Hard As! Fast As! Slow As! Cheap As! Dear As! Wet As! Tired As!; etc.". My personal fav is "Mean As!!" (which is very high praise indeed, like Awesome or Grand!). Jeez, this comment is 'Long As!!' LOL! Anyway, you're welcome back anytime!! Tschüss! Bye!👍😎
The pleasure was absolutely all ours Glen and Mado 👏 👏 👏 Your unique way of showing our country to the world was equally unique to we Kiwis. We've been a bit grumpy post-covid so your almost childlike joy was just the tonic we needed to remind us how lucky we are. If ever you decided to come back on a more permanent basis, and for some bureaucratic reason got turned down, I'd join the inevitable street protests that would follow. Yeah nah, your both sweet as 💕
In England they call dinner "tea" in the north, because they used to have their main meal of the day at lunchtime, and call that "dinner." The evening meal would be something light, served with a pot of tea. Because most early NZ settlers came from England that term was brought here and used the same way.
Not everyone has a box/chest freezer and it tends to be farming/rural people who hunt and have 'home kill' in their chest freezer. I'd never eaten venison in my life until a few years ago when I got a job in a more rural setting and someone brought some to cook and share for lunch with some bread.
Sweet as NZ travellers review. Very entertaining....and humour spot on. Happy you enjoyed your Kiwi experience...when you have such a positive outlook, the world always loves you back.
Enzed loves you like our own glen & maddo! will miss seeing you tear it up in our country. i liked your Otara episode wow what a community orientated vlog that was. appreciate your high quality videos friends. stay smiling and eating 🙌❤️🖤💚
I actually heard her tell Glen he had a "poxy" pie lol... he wanted a taste of whatever it was she'd bought but Mado was "not" sharing" lol. I loved these two characters. Its been a pleasure following them through all their NZ adventures.
lollie cake, condense milk and melted butter mixed together very well, then add in malt biscuit crumbs and fruit puffs ( or any sweet similar. fairy bread is white bread (not toasted) buttered then sprinkled with hundreds and thousands. usually cut into triangles.
Mmm, it's a recipe people often make with their kids, since it's easy and requires very little actual cooking. I think it crept into the bakeries and cafes as a nostalgia thing. If you need to be gluten free, use a basic biscuit/cookie, such as something made with rice flour. I'd say the brand/product name of what my family used, but it doesn't appear to be available anymore and...I forgot it.
Marmite and chilies was a favorite growing up. Loved watching your vlogs. Lots of places you visited brought back memories of my travels. Look forward to seeing you on your next adventure❤
@@GlenAndMado They have a big voice for such a small bird. We live in Auckland and have them in our garden. I love them. We have some fantails that come inside the house in Summer, sing us a song, then flit about catching any fruit flies (we always have a fruit bowl and the vege/fruit-scrap bin for the compost that the fruit flies appear out of nowhere for in the Summer). The fantails sometimes have a wee tour of the house while they're inside, might land somewhere for a bit of preening, sing us another song and then flit outside again. They'll often make several visits a day, but always sing a little song when they come in, and another before they leave. It is like they're saying "Hello" and "Goodbye". Some people think it's bad luck to have them come inside, I think it's a privilege. They are like honoured guests and once we figured out they were coming in for the fruit flies we'd take the lid off the scrap bin for them for a few minutes so they could have a little extra. :-)
I came in with a smile on my face when I read about the "Ferry " bread. Yes it's a party bread and so easy to do for children's birthday's etc, but it's "Fairy bread " as I see someone else has pointed out. It's a failing of the New Zealand accent that Fairy And Ferry are almost indistinguishable,, by the locals as well. (I wonder if children think they get visits from the tooth Ferry!I ) I thought it would improve but that was 1953 and I've made no impression. Probably my fault as I don't like to call people out on pronunciation. I prefer Vegemite to Marmite and you can get away with not having to use it so sparingly. It' because it's yeast-based, it's a flavour that takes you by surprise. I've loved your time in NZ and you've been so natural and friendly. Thank you for sharing with us, and do keep going please.
The best thing about New Zealand is its people. I just want them to know how wonderful they are. Everyone is so kind ，friendly and willing to help. I LOVE NZ and NZer so much
Hey you two it was fantastic having you guys here, just missed meeting you in eastbourne as you were leaving for the south, enjoyed your holiday, showed me a few places I haven't been to, all the best to you both for the future, may see ya back here some day, travel safe cheers!
lol painting fences, that's hilarious, we're just planning the colour we're going to paint the fence on our new house and it isn't even built yet 🤣I thought everyone painted fences.
The lolly cake was marshmallow sweets and we have automatics mostly due to the vast amount of Japanese imports that are automatics..plus they are better to drive around towns.
Very sad to see the last of your NZ tour - living away from NZ for 30 years you have re-introduced me back to NZ and what I have missed. Wish you the very best on your next travels - I wonder if and when you decide to settle down if you think of NZ as a home. Take care now!
Not sure if you mean seeing kiwi at all or specifically a wild kiwi, but if you are talking seeing one at all, then there is a Kiwi House in Whangarei (Northland) at the Heritage Park in Maunu next to the museum & bird recovery centre. It's a nocturnal house, so can see the Kiwi out & about doing its thing during daylight hours.
Had lots of laughs from this one. Really enjoyed it. Could comment about lots of things, but the "ferry" is actually "fairy" bread, as in children loving fairies. We've never seen people keeping their cars running in carparks, but we realise you have done a lot more "parking" than we have. Real enjoyed this series. We'll keep an eye open for you as you continue to travel.
Lolly cake = eskimo lollies (1pack) + malt biscuits (1pack crushed) + 1/2 tin condensed milk + butter + cocunut (to roll the lolly log in before you cut it and then set it in the fridge before slicing and eating).
I followed your travels around NZ and enjoyed this video but you forgot to mention the stalls with honesty boxes for eggs, fruit & veggie on the side of the roads, you were always amazed and grateful when you bought from them.

As a 56 year old Kiwi, I can honestly say that I've never heard of a shopping trolley being called a trundler.
Me neither
No it's a trolley
@@TraceysPages yup....agree
The thing that l know of as a trundler is those rigid rectangular shopping bags on wheels that have handles and are popular among old ladies. 😊
I always call it a trundler.
Painted fences are a thing here for a reason the intense sun here warps timber badly the paint helps stop that from happening.
Whittakers choc is Sooo good because they don't use palm oil unlike Cadbury.
...and it's sooooo creamy
It's the only chocolate worth buying. The Nestle and Kraft products also use palm oil so they're a no-go in my house. It's not just a matter of taste, either. Palm forests annihilate native habitats for native animals.
Here, here to that!!!
We laughed and it was very cool to hear you say the Kiwi “yeah, nah” Mado 😊
I actually heard her tell Glen he had a "poxy" pie lol... he wanted a taste of whatever it was she'd bought but Mado was "not" sharing" lol. I loved these two characters. Its been a pleasure following them through all their NZ adventures.
We adapted the slang🤣🤣
New Zealand has the best pies
Hands down
As a person from Christchurch NZ, I can assure you "tea" meaning dinner is very common and is easily distinguishable from "tea" meaning drink because the drink usually has the prefix "cuppa" as in "cuppa tea".

@@Wyrmwood66 Commas.
You didn't prepare the Marmite and butter ratio properly obviously, it's an art form to nail the correct ratio.
1000%😂
Yeah, it's gotta be spread Just Right!
Those who don't know better, end up spreading Marmite like it's jam...no wonder they don't like it.
Marmite is a bi product of beer making.. it is made from hops.
😅😅😅😅
Lolly cake ingredients: Malt biscuits, butter, condensed milk and Eskimo sweets ( like a hard marshmallow) made into a log and rolled in coconut.
The eskimos can be substituted with fruit puffs. The fruit puff packets have the recipe for lolly cake on the back
ahhh right, they're called eskimo!!
@@GlenAndMado Actually I think they aren't allowed to be called "Eskimoes"
Think they are now called Spacemen 🤦🏼♀️
My grandson eats the biscuit bit but throws the lollies bits to the dog
Whittakers chocolate is still made with sugar as other brands use palm oil and sweeteners, pride in made in New Zealand products has become a popular thing for us kiwis and we all so appreciate guests coming to nz to experience our true love for life thank you for your love
Wonderd why over seas chocalate tasted differant and not in a good way.
Palm oil and fake sweetners.
Whittakers is a real gem, absolutely love it!

I’ve never called a shopping trolley a trundler I never noticed that sign at the supermarket
Yeah we just call them Trolleys
Same....Trolley
Most likely shop owners are from overseas otherwise always known as trolley who get gathered up from the car parking area by the supermarket "trolley boy" from those who are too lazy to take them back.

It can be very confusing😅
You mean tea
that is so funny. I am from the USA so I understand
It used to be, ladies a plate, gents a bottle. Make sure the bottle is full, usually beer or wine these days.
"Bring a plate"
-"Should we put something on it?"
"We'll shout you" (Shout means "treat")
-"No thanks I have sensitive ears"
Or the classic is Kiwis pronouncing "e" as "i"...
"Would you like you see my deck?" (pronounced "dick")
-"Is that appropriate in public?"
Fairy bread is untoasted bread - it has to be fresh white bread and soft real butter.
I think this is a South Island ritual ?,
@@heathercarter2187nope....it's an Aussie invention.
@Wyz369 😂
Fairy bread in used in the North, I would use whipped cream instead of butter
@@maraeacookson1573 Sounds interesting, but you would have to eat it straight away before the cream melts.
Now you know where we are don't be strangers, you're welcome back anytime.
Love it, one time when I was working night shift, my friends car window was frosted over.
He couldn't be bothered waiting for it to defrost so he drove with his head out the window 😅, scary ride home to say the least
It's all about the people and you are great people. Thanks for the visit and taking us all with you. We will miss you both.

Or fruit puffs…
Mum always made lolly cake with fruit puffs and malt biscuits
🤣🤣 I love the serious discussion about lolly cake
that's the one, people told us they're called Eskimos!
@@GlenAndMado they're still Eskimos to me!!! My mum always had a bag of them in the car glovebox when we were kids!

Painted fences last longer. My farthers fence is 40 years old. Still looks new.

Better to paint it now and have to replace pailins less often.

Marmite was introduced to NZ from the UK in my understanding. Nice to see you 2 again ♥ ♥
True, but the UK Marmite is *very* different.
They are made by two different companies and taste different too.
Google korimako (New Zealand bellbird) and see if that's the sound you're talking about? X
Thanks , that was fun to watch, glad you enjoyed our piece of paradise.
Great work Glen and Mado

Yeah. I find a lot of these videos focus on rural parts of New Zealand...
Ive not seen a deep freeze freezer (aparently non kiwis call a box freezer, never heard that term) in decades. People still have those?
Marmite is originally from U.K, NZer's love their jandals and originally made NZ. We have rare and unique birds in NZ. Bird singing is a Tui,
Our marmite is actually different to the English marmite. Made by different Companies as well.
UK Marmite doesn't taste like NZ Marmite. Ours is yummy, I couldn't eat Marmite when I was in the UK.
Miss U guys, I have never visited my country as much as you have..Thanku for showing,the world, our beautiful country.
🙏🤙✌️🥂
Well done guys. Enjoying your videos. Off to the supermarket tomorrow to use their trolley.
We have 100’s & 1000’s in Australia and have fairy bread. Sprinkles are the colored ones that are about 1 cm long.
Thank you for sharing, it’s funny when you share a lot of different things in NZ. Old school ways 😂😂😂😂

The lollies in the cake are probably Fruit puffs or Eskimo lollies, a kind of firm marshmallow
Just trundling along.😂 Pies come into their own wrappers and we have pie competitions. Whittakers all the way!
The lollie in lollie log are called Eskimos they are a sugary marshmallow. So good 😊
They are called explores these days.
lollie cake, condense milk and melted butter mixed together very well, then add in malt biscuit crumbs and fruit puffs ( or any sweet similar. fairy bread is white bread (not toasted) buttered then sprinkled with hundreds and thousands. usually cut into triangles.

We have some fantails that come inside the house in Summer, sing us a song, then flit about catching any fruit flies (we always have a fruit bowl and the vege/fruit-scrap bin for the compost that the fruit flies appear out of nowhere for in the Summer). The fantails sometimes have a wee tour of the house while they're inside, might land somewhere for a bit of preening, sing us another song and then flit outside again. They'll often make several visits a day, but always sing a little song when they come in, and another before they leave. It is like they're saying "Hello" and "Goodbye".
Some people think it's bad luck to have them come inside, I think it's a privilege. They are like honoured guests and once we figured out they were coming in for the fruit flies we'd take the lid off the scrap bin for them for a few minutes so they could have a little extra. :-)
I came in with a smile on my face when I read about the "Ferry " bread. Yes it's a party bread and so easy to do for children's birthday's etc, but it's "Fairy bread " as I see someone else has pointed out. It's a failing of the New Zealand accent that Fairy And Ferry are almost indistinguishable,, by the locals as well. (I wonder if children think they get visits from the tooth Ferry!I ) I thought it would improve but that was 1953 and I've made no impression. Probably my fault as I don't like to call people out on pronunciation.
I prefer Vegemite to Marmite and you can get away with not having to use it so sparingly. It' because it's yeast-based, it's a flavour that takes you by surprise.
I've loved your time in NZ and you've been so natural and friendly. Thank you for sharing with us, and do keep going please.
You'd have to get very, very rural before you heard it pronounced ferry bread. I'd expect the same people have out-houses and no indoor toilets.
Fantastic job guys that you brought up the fact that the predators are really destroying wildlife habitat in our country.
The best thing about New Zealand is its people. I just want them to know how wonderful they are. Everyone is so kind ，friendly and willing to help. I LOVE NZ and NZer so much
love a good pie! every shop has different style / flavour
Hey you two it was fantastic having you guys here, just missed meeting you in eastbourne as you were leaving for the south, enjoyed your holiday, showed me a few places I haven't been to, all the best to you both for the future, may see ya back here some day, travel safe cheers!
aw no way! Maybe we will be back sometime🤗
Guy's Lolly cake is malt biscuits condensed milk Marshmallows and Coconut. Into a slice tin.
lol painting fences, that's hilarious, we're just planning the colour we're going to paint the fence on our new house and it isn't even built yet 🤣I thought everyone painted fences.
haha 🤣🤣
Lolly cake has marshmellow and it has a lotta malt biscuits
Can't beat a marmite chippie sandwich 😋 ❤
Youths is an SUV 😂 we spell it Utes, short for Utility vehicle, basically synonymous with 'pickup truck' these days. Used to be smaller car sized ones
Another Aussie invention.
What's with the mix up with "youths" & "utes".... pretty unrelated🤨
Thank you for making this video. I love my homeland and all our quirky ways. 😂❤❤
we had such an amazing time :)

Our damp weather then hot summer heat can damage fence’s easily so painting them often to prevent warping etc is needed
The lolly cake was marshmallow sweets and we have automatics mostly due to the vast amount of Japanese imports that are automatics..plus they are better to drive around towns.
Very sad to see the last of your NZ tour - living away from NZ for 30 years you have re-introduced me back to NZ and what I have missed. Wish you the very best on your next travels - I wonder if and when you decide to settle down if you think of NZ as a home. Take care now!
She’ll be right…churr bro!!! Just having tea,I mean dinner.
Hey Guys. Kia Ora for all the great content. ❤
Not sure if you mean seeing kiwi at all or specifically a wild kiwi, but if you are talking seeing one at all, then there is a Kiwi House in Whangarei (Northland) at the Heritage Park in Maunu next to the museum & bird recovery centre. It's a nocturnal house, so can see the Kiwi out & about doing its thing during daylight hours.
We really wanted to see a kiwi in wild but yes there are a few places where you can see them!
Had lots of laughs from this one. Really enjoyed it. Could comment about lots of things, but the "ferry" is actually "fairy" bread, as in children loving fairies. We've never seen people keeping their cars running in carparks, but we realise you have done a lot more "parking" than we have. Real enjoyed this series. We'll keep an eye open for you as you continue to travel.
We definitely mean fairy, I guess that's the irish pronunciation🤣🤣
Fresh as white toast bread, heaps of butter, lots of fresh lettuce leaves, with a little marmite spread, bloody awesome.
Lolly cake = eskimo lollies (1pack) + malt biscuits (1pack crushed) + 1/2 tin condensed milk + butter + cocunut (to roll the lolly log in before you cut it and then set it in the fridge before slicing and eating).
Mado you would be a good interviewer.
I followed your travels around NZ and enjoyed this video but you forgot to mention the stalls with honesty boxes for eggs, fruit & veggie on the side of the roads, you were always amazed and grateful when you bought from them.
@@BridgetChin your totally right! Forgot that one but it will be mentioned in our next video 😅
How Kiwis show their social status is by showing their Aroha we are a nation of Love.
The bird song will be from the" TUI "
Bellbirds
@@lesleyhughes3174yes also common
am wondering if you got to sample the main New Zealand delicacy "Pavlova"...
We've got to try the NZ pavlova on Christmas day at a kiwi family☺
@@GlenAndMado YAY ! ! Pavlova is the best
