Now that we’ve recovered from our Vegemite taste test in Australia, we are ready to try some authentic New Zealand foods. The country is known around the word for its lamb so we decided to try a local delicacy we came across, peeled lamb tongue. Who knew lamb tongue had to be peeled?
We also tried the Kiwi version of Vegemite that is called Marmite. This one has a bit of sugar in it. Does that improve the taste? Watch the video and you decide. Add to that some lamb flavored potato chips, L&P soda, pineapple lumps, the mysteriously named Afghan cookies and of course, Kiwi fruit, and we had a veritable feast going on.

Maybe the unpeeled lamb tongues would have been better…kind of like how the crust of the bread is the “best part”…
Do ya think?
Well done. And Brave to try the lamb tongue.
I guess it’s an acquired taste that I haven’t acquired yet. I have had beef tongue in a German restaurant an it was pretty good. I think I didn’t follow the directions for the lamb tongue.
Hi there,
I so enjoy your videos, you are BRAVE!!! Just talking about the lamb tongue gave me the shivers, then you showed it! Yikes!
I’m eagerly awaiting your holiday adventures; enjoy the sun! It’s starting to get wintery here in the Philly area!
Merry Christmas!

Winter? What’s that? Thanks for checking in Donna.
It seems like you are both having a great time! If you make it to Vietnam, maybe I can introduce you to some people. Foods to try if you are in the Mekong Delta area: ducks from the shell (one day before hatching, skeletons and beaks and feet formed and add to the crunch), and mice served in various ways. I am back from Taiwan, next month a week in China and about ten weeks in So. California on business, beginning Jan. 3. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I don’t know about the mice Richard.
