Kiwi Pumpkin Bumpkins!
Having a look around for ideas for dinner and stumbled upon nzkabocha.com. Kabocha is the Japanese word for pumpkin, and this looks to be a site promoting the beauty and opulence of the Aotearoan ball of gold. Ok, I wish them luck with their marketing, but is this something that we really want to add to kiwifruit and sheep as the image of New Zealand?
Don’t get me wrong – I have nothing against pumpkin (nor for that matter kiwi fruit, especially if they have been soaked in gin for at least 6 months). But sheep! Odorous animals with IQ’s lower than the average South African front row. People of the world! New Zealand is not famous for sheep! England is famous for sheep!
I hope Lloyd Jones wins the Booker Prize with his wonderful Mr. Pip. That would be one small step in rescuing New Zealand from the evils of the Demeterian tryad!
