I"m typing this as I'm cooking dinner, so of course I have food on the mind. As I'm nearing the end of my time here in New Zealand , I started to think about the delicious food I got to go back to. But then I also started to get sad about all the food (and drink) I would have to say goodbye to here!
Things I'm looking forward to when I go back to the States:
- Dunkin Donuts (or simply filtered coffee)
- Chipotle burritos
- My mother's banana bread
- American Chinese Food
- Cheez-Its
- Ben and Jerry's
Things I'm going to miss from New Zealand:
- Kiwi fruit
- Pavlova - the lightest dessert, it seems like there's no calories! (there are...)
- L&P soda - a soda unique to NZ!
- The chocolate! For some reason, their chocolate is amazing. Hershey's got nothing on them...
You don't realize what you're going to miss whenever you leave or go somewhere new. Who knew I was going to start drooling as soon as someone mentioned Chipotle? I did luck out though, because New Zealand culture is fairly similar to the states, so I didn't have to worry about the food being too different. But the few things they don't have here (like filtered coffee) have caused me to go a little insane. I can't wait to get my American food fixes when I return, but I also have to figure out how I can mail New Zealand treats back to my house...
