I am thankful my wife walked the last 5 km with me because I was definitely sucking the kumara. |
The Maori cuisine is based on seafood, mutton birds, wild pork or fowl, fat lamb, and kumara. |
Place the beef, tamarillos, onion and kumara in a casserole dish. |
There is an old Maori saying that the kumara never says how sweet it is. |
Here all the able-bodied men of the fort were set to work, turning up the rich black soil and planting potatoes, kumara, and taro. |
Paritutu had once stood somewhat taller, perhaps a metre, but the summit had been flattened by sheer hard work to make a level site for whare and kumara pits. |
