1. Breakfast: Breakfast in New Zealand is usually eaten at home. Common foods include fruit and nut mixed cereal, cereal porridge, oatmeal cakes, toast slices with butter and jam. New Zealanders prefer to serve these foods with iced milk rather than hot milk. The staple food is mostly bread, with jam, honey, milk, coffee, tea, fried fish pieces, nutritional bars, etc.

2. Lunch: Sandwiches are the most common lunch option and can include ham, chicken, eggs and other flavors. If they have time, people also go to coffee shops to have a cup of coffee.

3. Dinner: New Zealanders’ dinner is relatively simple, usually including one portion of meat and one portion of vegetables. Before the meal, they like to eat snacks, such as cookies with various cheeses and sauces, and after the meal, they may eat desserts such as ice cream, fruit, cake, etc. Summer dinner might be grilled sausages, steak, chicken, and a salad. The meat is usually roasted in the oven, and the vegetables are mostly served raw or cooked. Salt and pepper are always available on the table, because salt and oil are usually not used when cooking, and it is up to the diners to season by themselves.

4. New Zealand’s diet is influenced by Europe. Common vegetables include radishes, peas, green beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, broccoli, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, etc.
