Two other alien
species brought over by immigrants from the UK that have adapted to the local
environment were, what has now become the All-Day-Breakfast, and the Meat Pie. The
latter was introduced way back in the mid 19th Century and it seems soon
escaped out of the kitchen into the wild. So you now find it in every café and
bakery across the nation, often completely pushing out native dishes, such as roast
Moa.
And like any favourite
import they have improved on it. That said, more recently national TV chefs have
tried to limit its incursion by persuading the population to try local healthy options,
for instance those containing ‘smashed’
avocado. But it seems, the meat pie is well entrenched and has adapted
to the local environment with new varieties like curried chicken. Sure, there may
be ‘pie free’ zones in high-class restaurants but surely that’s just for the
upper crust.
