So summer has finally arrived in Auckland
the beaches get packed with office people who havnt had their shirts off for most of the year, sunbathers who are totally burnt and red, and family groups from rarotonga come to play volleyball and beach cricket , theres loads of them on the beach in summer, gigling and cooking sausages on the barbeque, which is used frequently by nearly everyone but the vegetarians. The smell of barbeque is in the air, thick and oily like the sausages fried on them.
I think the barbeque has become the traditional method of cooking in New Zealand, its more well known than the original New Zealand style of cooking called a hungi, which can be described as an underground oven, with hot stones and cages full of meat and vegetables left under the ground for several hours. Its pretty nice if its done properly.
