Māori hāngī
The hāngī was the most widely used method of cooking by Māori for more than 2000 years. Now saved mainly for special occasions, foods cooked in a hangi include chicken, pork and mutton, as well as various vegetables. One of the best places to enjoy this cultural feast is Rotorua, in the central North Island – book yourself in for a Māori cultural experience. You might also get to savour a delicious hāngī-steamed pudding for dessert.
