Cant wait for moyonaise, chop sui, puki and the most tender legs of lamb and chicken EVER!!

wish i could email food so everyone could have a taste yummmmm

[Just Me]

I've been to a few hangis - or is it eaten a few? Are they the event or the meal?

We have always had a bit of a do around digging the pit, sitting around while it cooks and then eating it.

[Miss.September]

YES! YUMMMMM.

We ate the most spectacular food out of the ground when we honeymooned in the Cook Islands. Very jealous you have a family member who can cook you delicious things!

[*Sparklez*]

[*Sparklez*]

[MistyFying]

Yum! We called them gwabi where I grew up in the Solomon Islands.

[Feijoa Mum]

Well been from NZ and DH is a maori (me too but you wouldnt know it im so lilly white)
hangi was always on the menu especially at big family events - tangis (funerals) weddings, 21sts etc.

Im not too fussed on them to be honest especially the traditional ground ones, I dont like the earthy flavour.
However give me a keg hangi (its steamed in a revamped keg instead of the ground pit) and im much happier. Doesnt take as long either in the keg and theres no big hole to be dug. Not that I do that bit anyway

[*TripleJ*]

it was so long ago i cant even remember wat it tasted like lol but i would love to have another one

[*Sparklez*]

lol you know what the funniest thing is the inside of our hangi the walls of it is an old steel washing machine LOL

[Beach Mama]

Mmmm yum, I have only ever been to one (eaten one?!) once and I remember it being the juiciest, tenderest tastiest meat I have ever had!!! Enjoy!
