Eat the winners  

We love a good food competition – The leading national food awards are

Cuisine Artisan Awards http://foodawardsv.massey.ac.nz

Outstanding Producers Awards https://outstandingfoodproducer.nz

The NZ Artisan Awards http://supermarketnews.co.nz/enter-the-nz-artisan-awards-2018/

And the more specialised the food, the better. Over the years, we’d have to plump for the sausage and pie awards as our all-time favourites (we keep a list of winners when we travel for a handy snack or shopping stops on our road trips). 

But wait, there are plenty more – chips, ice creams, bakeries and home cookeries, butchers. Again, let us know if we've missed your favourite, and we'll add 'em.
