Preperation of a traditional hāngī at Arowhenua Marae, NZ

As a kid growing up, I've had a few of these. Hāngīs are extremely healthy - except perhaps the fried bread - as the food is steamed with the heated rocks and wet fabrics.
With the large New Zealand population on the Gold Coast, this tradition is carried on here in Australia. Waitāngi Day is even celebrated here which presents traditional Māori culture, dancing, greetings and the food.
We are lucky to have a takeaway called The Hangi Pit. We can have hāngī any day of the week.
