A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

Plea to stop

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

If you know of someone who has been randomly returning home with armfuls, boxfuls, bagfuls or boot fulls of off cut pine, could you please ask them to stop taking mine.

I’ve gone, since yesterday, from having enough to last till next months delivery, to having enough for a couple of days.

If you know of someone who has been randomly returning home with armfuls, boxfuls, bagfuls or boot fulls of off cut pine, could you please ask them to stop taking mine.

I’ve gone, since yesterday, from having enough to last till next months delivery, to having enough for a couple of days.
Luckily I still have enough hard wood to last, but it means using some of next winters supply.

I noticed, on odd occasions, that it seemed to be disappearing, a little at a time, over the past few months, and just figured someone must be a bit desperate, but this time a lot has gone, and I’m really peeved. It’s for my heating, my water heating, my clothes drying, and often my cooking.

I don’t have electric heating, and don’t want it, and, as anyone with a fire knows, firewood this time of year is really expensive, especially if you have to get it urgently, and there are no guarantees it’ll be dry enough to burn properly.

So please, if it’s you, or you know who it is, stop. Just because I live in a “wealthy area” doesn’t mean I‘m wealthy. I can’t afford to supply other homes.

Rant over.

All you need is bait & ice and she is ready to launch.....literally!

Perfect entry level boat for the beginner or seasoned fisherman, easily beach launched by 1 person. I have owned this boat for 2 years and has been used pretty much every weekend in the spring and summer months, slightly less in winter but now wish to upsize, have had many epic times on this little gem and rides smooth and can certainly cut through the rough stuff.
