first remember seeing someone be really passionate about food oh my whole life my old lady comes from a long line of cooks and it's what we've always done and she comes from a lot of line of cooks but she was the best she was an absolute weapon everyone from where we come about like i've lost my mum just on a decade now or just over a decade ago

But every time you speak to someone, the first thing they talk about is food.

I miss your mom's this.

I miss your mom's that, you know?

And it was something we took real pride in, especially in communities like that where, like when I came to New Zealand, everyone had PlayStations at home and Macs.

You remember those bubble Macs?

Yeah, the colourful ones.

Yeah, those had just come out and everyone had those at home and stuff.

And I've never played a gaming console or owned a gaming console in my life.

But social gatherings for us was so common.

Like in South Africa, everyone brides on a Friday or has a barbecue on a Friday.

And like the first barbecue we got invited to in New Zealand from a dad's workmate, and then you got one chop, one sausage, and then a salad mixed with some onions and cucumbers in it.

My dad went back on Monday and asked him, what did I do to you?

Is there beef here or what?

You know, like you haven't put any effort in.

Why did you invite us over?

It's like a huge thing of pride.

But it's the same here if you go to a Polynesian's house, right?

The table is covered.

Polynesian house, Maori house.
