FOOD IN New Zealand!!!



~Staple diet in New Zealand~


In Japan, rice is eaten as a staple diet. (“staple diet” means that the food that person normally eats)...... There are lots of countries, especially around Asia, where people eat rice as staple diet. Depending on country, the staple diet is different, I guess. For example, in South America, corn and potato are eaten mainly. In America, many kinds of races are mixed together, so there are many food cultures. Therefore, staple food is not defined clearly......... So, How about in New Zealand?? I didn’t know about it until I checked it on the Internet. Actually, some people mainly eat bread, some people eat rice like Japanese, some people eat potato, meat and so on. That is, according to each person in New Zealand, what they mainly eat is varied. I think this is a big difference when comparing with Japanese one.
