Yes you're right I remember those times living in Welly and the concept of property ownership and investment really spreading right up until I left in 2007, some of my friends were getting into it and it all sounded like Greek to me. I am 100% biased but I believe overall NZ has the best lamb, beef, seafood and produce in the world. Aussie beef is right behind, but one thing they do have is multiple supermarkets selling rump cap for roasting at home, which is a damn shame because it's a delicious cut and absolutely piss easy to make, hopefully this changes in NZ soon.
