Greetings again from Paihia, New Zealand.
HONORARY MAMMAL--the Kiwi bird.
DRESS CODE--"No gumboots, no bennies, no swandries."
SECOND SHOP--A second-hand shop. Not "Seconds" shop?
NIPPON CLIP-ONS--Nickname for the extra lanes added to the Harbour Bridge, from Japan.
THE NEW ZEALAND DEATH--death by drowning.
LEMON-SQUEEZERS--the New Zealand military hat. Other countries also have this hat; is the term used elsewhere?
THE FULL MONTY--a breakfast of "2 eggs, bacon, beans, sausage, with fried bread."
OYSTER BURGER--Another "burger," for the collection.
FLUFFIES--Served one place under "Hot Drinks." The fluff on your cappuccino, I was told.
CHOCOLATE ROUGH--I bought some of this at a confectionery in Russell. It's chocolate squares, with some coconut. A quick web check shows it's used elsewhere. Where did this come from? Is "rough" plural? One sign said "Chocolate Roughs."
HOKEY POKEY ICE CREAM--vanilla and toffee bits. It differs a bit for the hokey pokey candy. "Hokey pokey" is everywhere here.
SPIRULINA--orange juice and seaweed? Check the web.
