All things Kiwi

This is a display in a small town called Otorohanga - NZ, showing kiwiana. (The Aussies may get upset to see the pavlova there, as it is a contentious issue as to who actually invented it!) I like the irony of the MacDonald's light that was reflected in the window…..
Marni @golftragic - hope I don't start a cross-Tasman war with showing the pavlova in amongst the kiwiana!

Great shot, i don't mind sharing Pavlova anyway.....You have had a great trip...

@dide I'm happy to share if you are. Purely in the interests of trans-Tasman harmony of course. That, and love of good pav! Love the shot, great fun.

Beautiful shot full of interesting info about NZ. I hate MacDonald's and its food.

Now it's not just the pavlova!! I thought we owned the thongs too :)

I love this, what a great idea. It really brightens up the wall. I love the irony of the Maccas sign too.
Don't care who claims pavlova as long as I get the biggest slice.

Very interesting image Dianne, the McDonalds sign made me smile they are everywhere, as an Englishman the Kiwi shoe polish is an issue. Englishman William Ramsay in 1906 developed a fine boot polish which he named ‘KIWI’. as a trademark a tribute to his wife who was a native of New Zealand, I will not mention the Wellington boot, lol:)

@pcoulson Oh no…. have a look at this website - you'll be wanting to claim the Edmonds Baking Powder as well…. http://www.edmondscooking.co.nz/history_brand.htm

@gilbertwood Oops - have stirred up a hornet's nest….. @pcoulson is claiming a few items from as far away as England. Will be a bare wall by the time you two have finished claiming bits off it…. :)

@dide Every day is a school day you never know what will happen when you post an image and make a statement with the 365 world listening, at least its all taken in good heart:)
