Parāoa Rēwena: The Relegation of Aotearoa New Zealand's Indigenous Bread
National identity is linked to food. Exemplifying that, many people associate Turkey with pide, Italy with focaccia and, of course, France with the baguette. But what about Aotearoa New Zealand, what breads signifies a New Zealand/Kiwi identity? This paper explores a contender for that role, a bread commonly associated with Māori, Aotearoa New Zealand’s tangata whenua: parāoa rēwena. This research asked eight expert chef/bakers about their views …
Understanding fusion Korean food: Considerations of identity, creation and acceptance in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand
Our research addresses the link between the palatability of food and ethnic acceptance within dominant cultures. Specifically, we explore considerations of fusion Korean food in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Within our exploration, our paper not only reveals how our four Korean chefs construct fusion Korean food, but how that construction has co-created the acceptability of Korean migrants within Aotearoa New Zealand’s socio-culture. In these w…
Lū sipi: A marker of Tongan distinction
In Tonga, traditional dishes like lū sipi—lamb or mutton drenched in coconut cream and baked in taro leaves—play a crucial role in sustaining cultural norms, affirming place and constructing identity. Consequently, lū sipi illuminates daily routines and the significance of being and becoming Tongan. For Tongans abroad, lū sipi provokes island memories and nostalgia. Considering lū sipi’s importance both in Tonga and in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zeal…
Signifier of Kiwi Identity
Contested myths of origin surround one of New Zealand's best-loved cultural icons, or 'kiwiana': a pull-along children's toy called the Buzzy Bee. This paper clarifies those domains by presenting new information gleaned from Betty Schlesinger, widow of the bee's inventor. Clarification is important because the Buzzy Bee is, as kiwiana, a material item strongly associated with Kiwi identity. As a Māori word, 'Kiwi' is a common, often self-ascribed…
His own kind of honour: Reluctant celebrity chef Michael Van de Elzen
Australasian chef Michael Van de Elzen provides a valuable Antipodean insight into chef celebrity. Within an emic perspective, this article explores his antinomic celebrity experiences. Michael’s contradictions and anxieties emerge within the dilemma he experiences in being a chef celebrity yet not wanting to be a celebrity chef. Language nuance reflects his dilemma. We explore Michael’s lived celebrity experience using an adapted version of a we…
Think of New Zealand as a small town’: Methodological and ethical issues in researching everyday culture
This article explores some of the methodological and ethical issues intrinsic to the processes of carrying out ethnographic research in a very small country, when most participating individuals can be readily identified. The inherent conflicts will be applicable to research in any community where individual participants may be recognised. Internal confidentiality has the potential to place limits on ethical assurances. However, these limitations …
A Vernacular Food Tradition and National Identity in New Zealand
The humble meat pie is one of the most consumed casual takeout foods in New Zealand. Readily available in every bakery, corner dairy, café and gas station, they were traditionally the mainstay of roadside food vendor wagons known as “pie carts.” This paper demonstrates how that modest, familiar feature of everyday life in New Zealand—the roadside pie cart—is a site where values of national identity were/are enacted. Contemporary pie carts no long…
The Contested White Lady: A Critique of New Zealand Cultural Heritage Politics
This article critiques New Zealand's cultural heritage politics by positing that vernacular items, like an iconic eatery called the White Lady, does not meet the legislative criteria enabling cultural heritage status. If vernacular artefacts, including 'kiwiana', are to be integrated within cultural heritage, then changes within legislation, definitions and participant preconceptions are necessary. This study argues that cultural heritage is domi…
