Forget mince and cheese - how about a pāua pie?

Sarah Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Step aside mince and cheese, there's a new pie in town and it's about as Kiwi as they come!

People from all over are lining up at Cafe 35 in Tokomaru Bay to try the famous pāua pie.

The pāua are sourced from the Chatham Islands and while the full list of ingredients are being kept under wraps, the pies are an undisputed hit!

Have you tried the pies putting Tokomaru Bay on the map? How would you describe this Kiwi delicacy? Or maybe you'll be stopping in on your next road trip? What is your ultimate pie flavour?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
