In the early 1970s, when I was in my teens, I had a girlfriend, Helen, whose parents – or at least one of them, I don’t recall – came from Yorkshire. What I do remember, though, is that whenever I was invited back to the family home they always spoke of “mashing the tea”.

Stadiums aren’t generally considered gastronomic trailblazers. In enclosed venues, from festivals to theme parks, patrons are usually held hostage when it comes to dining options. Wellington Sevens organisers are introducing an intriguing twist this weekend, inviting some of the capital’s top culinary talent to create the first ever ’Food And Fizz Alley’ at the Cake Tin. Chef/restaurant consultant Martin Bosley; Logan Brown and Grill Meats Beer’s Shaun Clouston; and Rex Morgan of Boulcot St Bistro and Burger Liquor have been approached to design affordable, fan-friendly finger-food ($10-$12) for hungry crowds looking for a fix more adventurous than chips.
It’s a progressive move that aims to translate the capital’s incredible foodie reputation to an iconic mainstream event, providing high-quality, hand made fare. Shunning mass production, Shaun explains that the trio has "kept it pretty simple,“ offering morsels such as Japanese kara age (dangerously addictive deep fried chicken with a tangy sweet Tonkatsu mayo) served in cones.
Predictions are, despite the traditional focus on getting drunk and chowing on hot dogs, that people will be receptive. There’s a demand for quality and "it’s reflected on the outside,” Shaun says. “You can see that in what people are offering. It’s not just about cheap booze and food anymore. It’s the world over.”
“As an olympic sport, it’s a privilege to have it here. Why would people want to get boozed up and miss the whole thing? They’ve come to enjoy it."
Of the bold initiative he said "hats off to New Zealand rugby,” adding it was great to be involved and hoped it heralded the start of a trend.

In the two decades I’ve been writing about food and health, one piece of diet advice has remained consistent: Eat more whole plant foods. More vegetables and fruits, more legumes and grains, more tubers and roots. There has been, that I can recall, only one notable exception, and it is the beleaguered potato. Eat more plants! Just not potatoes.

I can clearly remember one of the happiest days of my life. It was a Sunday the summer of 1981, I was 19 years old and working for the New Zealand Forest Service, before it became DOC – and before I became a doctor. I was in the headwaters of the Rangitikei River, deep in the Kaimanawa Ranges and had been there for eight weeks, counting birds, plants and deer droppings. It was a grey miserable day and we were rained in ; living in a tent for two months with three other guys, I had tent fever. So, I decided to walk for 10 hours in the rain to our next helicopter food drop and collect our Christmas mail. No wi-fi (there was no internet back in those days, and even today I am guessing there would still be no coverage at the Mangamaire Junction) so it was just letters and stamps.
