Kai and the calendar
What is on the plate in Tauranga is dictated by the harbour, the orchards and the season, not by a menu designer.
Subject: Visitors
Avocado in spring. Kiwifruit from autumn. Kaimoana whenever the harbour allows and the tikanga permits. The region's food culture is an agricultural calendar with a coastline attached.
The best way to understand it is not to read about it. It is to arrive in the third week of a season and let someone feed you.
