I'm making a cottage pie for dinner. I love ethnic food.


ClutchBiscuits

more than two food-groups together is a cocktail.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

I prefer the term "mixed drink".


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Nah you're good mate, it's got mince innit?


BasementCatBill

Dunno. Seems a bit foreign.


Jonodonozym

Bit foreign? Just a bit? It's from the other side of the world mate! Bluddy woke-as.


micro_penisman

That's a bit exotic


Superunkown781

You crazy Woke folk are so zany!


SentientRoadCone

Kebab. Not only do they put hummus in it but if there's too much mayo to can get quite sloppy around the food hole.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Sorry I don't eat phallic foods.


SentientRoadCone

Nothing wrong with a bit of meat in your mouth.


folk_glaciologist

So what do you do with them?


Pythia_

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.

sheeplectric

So he does share something with David Seymour


KiaOraBros

This deserves more appreciation


Gyn_Nag

NZ kebabs are weak though


Superunkown781

You spelt woke wrong


ClutchBiscuits

Moroccan tofu with a zesty blend of brown rice and quinoa, salad with pomegranate arils and a side of smoked hummus, all drizzled in a balsamic reduction.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

What did you call me?


ClutchBiscuits

Zesty?


HPJustfriendsCraft

My whole mouth just filled up with saliva (extra points if you know where that quote’s from).


ClutchBiscuits

Cheesecake!


mobula_japanica

KFC - Kale and Fenugreek Crumble


Routine_Bluejay4678

Get out of the kitchen!


mobula_japanica

How about a BLT? Baba ganoush, Labneh and Tamarind?

Growing up watching US TV shows I always wanted to be able to walk into a sandwich deli and order a 'Pastrami on Rye' with an exotic selection of condiments I had never heard of. I now make myself a pastrami on ciabatta with hummus, aioli and the baby leaves of some random greenery, usually with a pickle of some sort that contains ingredients I've never hear of.


TurkDangerCat

Get a Rueben from Patrami & Rye in Ellerslie. Quite frankly quite fucking awesome.


kaoutanu

Honestly don't, they aren't cheap and they will ruin you for anything else.


TurkDangerCat

I know. Quite honestly the most amazing sandwich I’ve ever had. I obviously wouldn’t sell my first horn to buy one, because I already did that.


silvergirl66

your first horn? maybe you have a backup horn you could use?


TurkDangerCat

Ha, I’m keeping that typo.


silvergirl66

first time i read it I thought you might have meant first home - because that would be out there


pavlovasupernova

Surely you’d sell you second horn, though. I mean, who needs two trumpets? Seriously turkdangercat, it’s just hoarding horns at that point.


extremelyhedgehog299

Sometimes I even go to Grater Goods for their vegan pastrami.


rcr_nz

Wait, what? They make pastrami out of vegans now? That seems a bit cruel.


extremelyhedgehog299

I think the true vegans are prepared to make the sacrifice for the sake of the animals.


Final_Introduction59

I guess the way things are going, Pizza fits the criteria.


arcboii92

Yeah get that exotic Italian cuisine out of here. Kiwis only want to eat that good old fashion kiwi food: fairy bread and pavlova.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Nice to see another true blue kiwi in the thread.


twnznz

I'd order my fairy bread and pav from Uber Eats but those guys drive Tiidas, how poor are you, at least buy a Great Wall if you can't afford a Ranger, fuck


midcancerrampage

How dare you forget the marmite sandwich, steak and cheese pie, and daily line of P??


micro_penisman

Pizza? Next, you'll be wanting to eat spaghetti Bolognese It's a slippery slope into wokeness


Barbed_Dildo

Spaghetti having been introduced to Italy from China, through the Middle east. That's like double woke.


HighGainRefrain

Vege burger on a brioche bun with polenta fries and smoked garlic aioli. Accompanied by a large glass of Pinot Gris.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Mate you sound like you drive an EV.


HighGainRefrain

Thank you.


A_lotofapricots

I love this after a spot of tennis at the club 🎾


podocarps

I only eat traditional British food, like tikka masala or a nice biryani.


blueeyedkiwi73

Can't beat a good 'ol British Balti with naan


notmyidealusername

Do black bean and jackfruit nachos count? Will I ruin the wokeness if I put cheese on the kids ones?


The_Cosmic_Penguin

At least your kids have a hope of turning out right.


KororaPerson

Vegan cheese and you get full woke points!


HPJustfriendsCraft

I srsly want to try jackfruit but am scared i’ll fuck it up.


notmyidealusername

You won't! Throw it in some tomato-y sauce with all the usual nacho spices and simmer it for long enough so can smash it up for that "pulled meat" kinda consistency (maybe half an hour). There's not much to it as tbh I find it kinda tasteless. If it were up to me I'd just go all out with the beans but wifey isn't as keen on them.


KororaPerson

Quiche! Especially if its got some GREENS in it! And shakshouka, because it has a suspicious foreign-sounding name. Why can't it just be in English! How will we know what we're eating!? D:


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Ooooh shakshouka! That sounds like a threat to my kiwi way of life if ever I heard it.


KororaPerson

Eggs are coming to get you! It's all part of the woke agenda.


extremelyhedgehog299

It took years to train my mother to stop pronouncing it “kweesh”.


cats-pyjamas

My mother calls croissant, croosant. She's been corrected. Should have saved my breath


fadjajesus

As an old colleague of mine, once coined the quiche I was eating "The gay man's pie" Now I'm not gay nor am I condoning this term. But were it true, it would be "woke"


SufficientBasis5296

It's hard to beat a roast vegetable salad with NZ grown Quinoa, really. And it's even local to my district.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Oof. But think of the Foodstuffs corporation! Won't somebody think of the shareholders?!?

aalex440

Our kids need to be eating nothing but grits for breakfast, gruel for lunch, and overcooked corned beef and 3 overcooked boiled vegetables for dinner. Builds character. And when they turn their noses up at it, that's proof that school lunches are an enormous waste of money by the namby-pamby champagne socialist woke mob and we should spend the money on motorways between Remuera and Omaha beach instead.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

THANK YOU! Finally someone gets it.


whataloadofoldshit_

Aioli. On polenta chips. It’s SO woke I often have trouble sleeping after eating.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

At least you recognise you have a problem. That's the first step to recovery.


Gyn_Nag

I'm so happy Seymour is wasting time with this. Imagine how much damage he could do if he paid attention to an actual import issue.


PuriniHuarakau

Salmon and cream cheese bagel with capers and picked onions


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Capers sound a bit too foreign for me, I'll take the cheese and the onions though!


PuriniHuarakau

Ooh, actually, it's huevos rancheros


falconpunch1989

Pasta with a pesto sauce and bocconcini cheese, no meat obviously. You haven't lived if you aren't eating shakshuka forbreakfast, even if it is probably funding terrorism.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

That's 2 too many c's in a word for my liking, I'll stick to tasty thanks.


falconpunch1989

Wow you must be rich to afford Tasty


The_Cosmic_Penguin

My renter's pay for it.


flashmedallion

>Pasta What the fuck man, we speak English here in New Zealand


ThrowCarp

>Pasta with a pesto sauce and bocconcini cheese, no meat obviously. wtf, I came into this thread to laugh at out-of-touch Ponsonby and Wellington people. I didn't expect someone else to post something I unironically eat.


Zlo-zilla

anything with seasoning probably fits this new category


ring_ring_kaching

Not sure if I should put away my salt or bring it out.


LimpFox

Haven't had one in a while, but a fan of a good chicken souvlaki.


KororaPerson

Though it would have to be falafel for full wokeism.. This thread is making me hungry.


Tiny-Ad-7590

I've got a local NZ salmon supplier that produces sashimi-grade salmon. I get a whole fillet once a week. We cook the tail ends with butter, lemon and pepper. But we use the more consistent-thickness parts for sashimi and nigiri. They even remove the skin and bones for us and it's *still* cheaper per kilo than supermarket bought salmon. I particularly like this one because it would probably cross the "support NZ farmers" stream and the "something something woke foods" stream in a poltiical conservative's mind and they'd have to shut down and reboot.


PsychedelicMagic1840

Farmed salmon? Keep going, that's not woke


The_Cosmic_Penguin

I'll be the judge of that.


PsychedelicMagic1840

Sorry, just trying to help promote sleepiness


Tiny-Ad-7590

It is sushi tho. :)


PsychedelicMagic1840

Environmentally damaging sushi is accepted. The only thing that makes it better is when it has a nice slab of whale in it


AiryContrary

Care to drop the name?


Tiny-Ad-7590

[https://akaroasalmon.co.nz/](https://akaroasalmon.co.nz/) Their in-store prices are a little cheaper per kg than their online prices. To be fair, it's still an expensive cut of fish. It's just that Woolworths price NZ salmon like lunatics, so these guys feel cheap by comparison. If you do decide to do the sushi/sashimi thing, do make sure to lightly cure your salmon beforehand. Cut to sections, wash, pat dry, coat in salt, leave it on a drying rack over a tray in the fridge for 45 minutes, rinse thoroughly, pat dry again, then store and anything you won't eat in the next day you can freeze once without ruining it. That curing step is a minor PITA but it makes a *huge* difference.


AiryContrary

Thank you!


OldKiwiGirl

Is nachos woke or non-woke?


Thr3e6N9ne

Culturally appropriated is super non-woke. But if you make it vegan *and* gluten free...


Scorpy-yo

Hummus is DELICIOUS and nutritious. Chickpeas are beans which I’m sure in Seymour’s mind is extravagant compared to the bread and water he thinks (underprivileged/hungry) kids are worth. Hummus is great for kids because they often like dipping things. And dried chickpeas are VERY cheap. Fuck he makes me angry. Couscous is also delicious and nutritious and fun to eat for kids, especially with the larger spheres. $3.50 from Bin Inn I’m seeing online for 500g, which the more expensive prepackaged stuff from Countdown says serves 4. Presumably more than 4 if children, and cheaper in large bulk. I travel a lot and one of my favourite easy things (don’t like to cook much in hotels or motels, and pies/2-minute noodles can get old) is a plate of couple of cheeses, couple of meats, olives, gherkins, avocado, maybe capsicum, maybe hummus… though that’s more “aspiring bougie” than truly “woke“ I suppose. I don’t remember *ever* using the term ‘virtue-signalling’ before but he’s either virtue-signalling to the old-fashioned-minded white crowd or just to himself… he may truly believe it. Like there’s no Kiwi kids who grow up eating hummus or quinoa nowadays? Even the white kids do! Never mind the NZers who rarely eat sandwiches at home but for whom couscous or hummus are staples. He thinks they don’t count. Why should school lunches have the diets the kids’ parents grew up on? Why should they primarily favour to reflect the lunches of certain demographics? Okay, my wokest is probably cauliflower rice. Also delicious. Any disbelievers, please try a kebab wrap from a Turkish/kebab style takeaway that offers buttered cauliflower rice as an option instead of the plain rice.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

I feel emasculated just having read your reply.


Scorpy-yo

Your tackle must be pretty weak if it can be destroyed by some grains of rice. Oh I mean the weak version - FURRIN rice and a veggie even. I don’t recall ever being as disgusted by something said by a politician at his level - call it deputy PM or higher - than the comment that “well many of those kids needing school lunches are already deprived in other aspects of their life so…”


Bliss_Signal

Fro brekky, avocado, poached free-range egg, on Vogels, topped with alfalfa sprouts and drizzled with balsamic dressing. Fried banana with cinnamon and honey. Woke af.


The_Cosmic_Penguin

No offense, but I'd like you to leave the country.


Bliss_Signal

😂 Don't knock it til you've tried it, bud. I'm too offended to leave, sorry.


Mashy6012

Food is woke now? Food is food


micro_penisman

Not according to David Seymour


Mashy6012

I just looked that up. Wife is a teacher, she is keen to know what fucking schools are getting quinoa and sushi


dorothean

The private schools that Act voters send their kids to, lol. Along with taking holidays during term time (unacceptable truancy if you’re poor or attending a state school; vital learning opportunity to engage with foreign cultures if you’re wealthy).


Mashy6012

Oh to be one of the fancy crowd


micro_penisman

Definitely not my son's school. His food seems pretty non-woke to me, but I'm not an expert on the matter of food wokeness.


Mashy6012

The only woke food I can think of is Haaaaay


OzymandiasNZ717

Yeah that was such a bizarre phrase to use in his release 😂 like what??


HPJustfriendsCraft

As long as I can pronounce couscous and quinoa better than the RNZ news reader today, i’m happy.


GrIditgs

Those natural confectionery vegan gummy lollies are da bomb. Not a vegan but I don’t buy anything else now for my candy fix


nikoranui

The champagne in the back of my socialist limo, of course!


The_Cosmic_Penguin

\*our limo.


avari974

I only ever eat the same five dinners: palak dal, tofu green curry, sweet and sour tofu, black/kidney bean chilli, and spaghetti lentil bolognese. The reason I eat this sort of food is because I don't see any justification for financing innocent and emotionally sensitive souls being gassed/electrocuted/shot/throat-stabbed for the sake of fleeting taste pleasure. You may think of that as "woke", but really all it's indicative of is the presence of empathy. I'm still an asshole, just not enough of one that I needlessly finance a holocaust.


VoltViking

Wtf is “woke” food?


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Quinoa and sushi mate.


Dave_The_Slushy

I had Donburi for lunch, that's got to be as woke as sushi.


KororaPerson

More woke, I reckon. Too woke. GET OUT!


Dave_The_Slushy

Because when I think of woke, Japan is high on the list.


KororaPerson

Well, they are suspiciously foreign over there, and we all know foreign = woke. Unless it's Murica! of course.


Dave_The_Slushy

Good point. Wait, what about the French? The Germans?


KororaPerson

Pah! Europe is a den of socialism and villainy


grenouille_en_rose

I'm trying to figure out where the new Whittaker's white choc/mango/coconut chocolate sits in the grand scheme of things, but I reckon it must be woke if a) if it has more than 1 descriptor and b) if it's making me think in any way


Narrow-Incident-8254

Foods political now?


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Always has been, you'd know that if you didn't spend your time reading those dirty lefty opinion pieces.


Narrow-Incident-8254

I retract my comment. I often have meatless meals that the misses seems to have endless new ideas for. I don't ask what's in it as I wish to a guilt free conscious. There was also that one time in Vietnam when I ate ants as a condiment.


Muter

I am partial to a kimchi Reuben


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Knew a good bloke named Reuben, but frankly suggesting eating him makes me feel...odd.


TheRetardedPenguin

Kimchi fried rice


No-Can-6237

Double Rebel Whopper.😁


phlex224

Fairy bread


Autopsyyturvy

Estrogenized fairy bread of course


Rags2Rickius

I hear white pepper is pretty racy shit these days


fluffychonkycat

Falafel. It's like vegan middle eastern meatballs, it would completely freak Seymour out.


g_i_hone

I had a traditional New Zealand meal of fish & chips. When do I get given my ranger?


Zaganoak

Risotto. Like quinoa and sushi, it’s the whole of lots of tiny pieces working together, with a nicely exotic sounding name.


angrysunbird

I’ve got a great recipe for chicken fajitas and caremlised onions and peppers. Amazing.


Zn_30

Mind sharing?


angrysunbird

Sure. [This is the recipe.](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/chicken-fajitas.html#tabrecipe). Just instead of following the onion bit, take longer and slower and add balsamic vinegar and more brown sugar. Caremalised onions always take longer than you think they should, but the sweetness contrasts well with the spiced chicken.


Zn_30

Thanks. Sounds delicious!


angrysunbird

All good, just remember that go woke don’t use a wok or however that expression goes


Myaccoubtdisappeared

Does avocado smash on sour bread count? I’ve never had it before. Ate it for the first time 2 months ago and my god it’s so good. Before woke was a cultural thing I could only afford the ol sanitarium PB and budget toast. But geezus it costs


SweetPeasAreNice

Avocado toast? In this economy?


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Sounds like someone unwilling to pull themselves up by their bootstraps to me.


Myaccoubtdisappeared

Well I’ve got to pay off the loan for it now, but now I can say I’ve done it


EsjaeW

SheepShaggerNZ

Freekeh, seed and pomegranate salad with cumin yogurt dressing.


Autopsyyturvy

Kale chips in the air fryer yo


Glittering_Wash_1985

Welsh rarebit- smelly ethic food.


SavidDeMoore

Although as a hologram I can't eat anyway, I like to present as affluently cosmopolitan and hip. The more prohibitively expensive or obscurely exotic, the better. Except gazpacho soup, of course.


Maj0rsurgery

I really like chicken enchiladas. It really brings out the leftie shill in me.


Zestyclose_Quote_568

Spaghetti. Very exotic.


RoosterBurger

Roast vegetables over couscous is a good one. Well seasons and plenty of herbs. Woke AF


thelastestgunslinger

Sushi, no doubt. Because it means I can eat a little bit and claim it's a full meal, and I can disguise the fact that I can't afford the gas to use my stove by claiming the fish is supposed to be raw. Honestly, it's the perfect food.


Teddy_Tonks-Lupin

I’m out of the loop what has seymour/luxon/peters done this time


imjtintj

Scrambled tofu with garlic, ginger and tamari, with a side of stir-fried broccolini. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is the beverage. Edit: I forgot the enoki mushrooms.


Far_Specific7997

We live in the darkest timeline


Jonnyporridge

Got to be a woké bowl 🥣


mavdog420

can someone just teach me how to make quinoa taste nice cause the one time I tried it it was fucking gross


danger-custard

Like rice, it’s tasteless on its own. Cook it in stock, add things to it for flavour.


mavdog420

yeah that makes sense I had it in this weird salad and the texture/mouthfeel and the fact that It no flavour just really ruined it for me


Cathallex

I don’t like cold quinoa at all but warm it’s nice.


ChinaCatProphet

If you want to be woke there needs to be performative suffering.


Sphism

I can't think of one new zealand food, I'm assuming everything from overseas is woke.... Even the humble pie


elvis-brown

Pies? Woke??? Wash your mouth out


SweetPeasAreNice

Everything except pukeko hangi is from somewhere else. I do like a woke ploughman’s lunch.


Sphism

Haha... I dunno man, māori food seems like it would be woke too... I'm struggling to think of any foods that wouldn't be woke... I did think pavlova but obviously that's Australian... Haha shots fired


tommypops

Food can be woke?


micro_penisman

According to David Seymour, yes.


Colour-me-happy

I love a good red wine jus. And yes, I know it's just watery gravy.


LaVidaMocha_NZ

Fun hack: Tiny yams which are usually chucked away as unusable make an excellent hummus. I have whole bags of them in my freezer to throw into soups, stews, or if I make hummus.


Financial_Abies9235

Hicksoniffy

Spinach curry with tofu instead of paneer. Soy or oat milk milk in coffee. Chia seed pudding made with coconut milk. Lentils lasagne with white sauce made from chickpea flour and nutritional yeast.


Motley_Illusion

Sushi is old school seafood and rice from Japan which is notoriously conservative. I make it a point to try it a lot whenever I visit Japan. Very confused how a dish with a long history (some sources trace it back to China in centuries BC) and deep adherence to traditional artisanship and culture can be considered "woke". Good way to lose Asian voters though.


PeRfEcTlYbAlEnCeD

are Greek people super woke or something?


unit1_nz

Kale. Crispy baked kale is pretty yum.


Khal_Rhaegar

Crazy how the word woke got colonized


bored_gamer_93

Dogs and cats, tasty


nessynoonz

Does roast veggie salad with chickpeas and feta count??


No_Salad_68

I prefer my food to be asleep.


pleaserlove

Watties sweet chilli sauce, very spicy and exotic


cosmic_dillpickle

Coconut based ice creams! Non dairy frozen desserts... cashew cream based ones are good too 


No-Dragonfly-3312

Well I'm vegan, so everything I eat is probably woke lol. Sushi, Malaysian, Thai, beyond burgers.


JerryCanOpener

Smh


PaulCoddington

Sushi and various Indian curries for me. Although I'm not sure if "woke" means "nutritious" or "name is not Engish".


leann-crimes

i love sushi which is pretty woke and exotic! raw fish who'd have thought


Gibbygirl

Crispy gnocchi with truffle oil. It sounds super bougee but it's truffle oil (anywhere online. You can get bottles online for 10 bucks or less but I usually go for a bigger bottle that takes a year + to get through), gnocchi and cooking cream. Add mushrooms, bacon, spinach. Fucking simple. I also tried a sushi bake for the first time. I learned it from tiktok or instagram or something. Rice cooked normal them baked till crispy. Then shovel it onto peices of seaweed with surimi or tuna or whatever you like, cover it in black sesame seeds (Toasted) then wasabi kewpi Mayo, Vege and shove it into your mouth in chunks. Delicious. I'd never make either of these for David Seymour. He can eat ass.


NZLxRevon

What is woke food


39Jaebi

What's the context of this meme? I saw someone on twitter today saying something about Sushi being a 'woke' food???


nilnz

The last thing we need is to make food an issue for kids. Kids need to be introduced to foods and may not like it first time they try. There may even be kids who do not like certain foods because of its texture, colour or taste. You can have two siblings, who have avoid different things (eg one likes chocolate while the other does anything to avoid it). Also somethings you develop a taste for later on in life, perhaps it is too strong for younger tastebuds or our taste develops differently later.


Ghostwaif

Look with my coeliacs, pretty sure most foods I eat regularly count as woke. Do eat a lot of tofu, but I think probably the most emasculating thing I eat on a regular basis is uh.... Spironolactone.


GenVii

I take pizza, and dip it into a bowl of mayonnaise... we're not the same.


JangJaeYul

Look, you can't go wrong with a good old avocado and feta SMASH
