Freshwater Prawns and Fresh Mudcrabs
I am just here to get some feedback on something I will be keen to do very soon business wise. I have been taking some time to do some research etc on this. I have the intention to bring in freshwater prawns and hopefully live mud crabs into New Zealand from overseas.Freshwater prawns will b e pretty much fresh, caught, packed and sent to me all within the week. Mudcrabs will be live, is I have the intention of selling as soon as I pick them up from the airport, even if it is midnight, I will sell from my address, (which I have licence for from Auckland Council) And I am looking for any feedback, negative or positive, I will take it on the chin no problems..I will get the first batch hopefully by christmas. I have some positive feedbacks from restaurants from Auckland and wellington and would like to hear from anyone in public as my intention is to sell at the local Manurewa and Otara markets and possibly Hamilton and Takapuna markets to cater for the asian and other communities who are more keen on prawns and mud crabs. I look forward to the feedback. Thanks guys..
Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
