Hokey pokey ice cream is so iconic in New Zealand that
they made a stamp celebrating it. It is
vanilla ice cream with little pieces of a type of honeycomb through it. I can't enlighten you on how it got its name –
it is very much an NZ original.
They keep changing our money – and each new issue
seems more garish and plasticky than the last – all in the name of increased
