Of course, stupid Kumara- New Zealand’s equivalent to pumpkin or sweet potato which is just as disgusting 🤢 makes a double appearance…
Kumara is Sweet Potato.

I quite like it and I wip up roasted Kumara mash from time to time. Quite good for you, with a low GI. Does it have some sort coriander affect on you also?

Edit: mind you, I wasn’t a fan of white sweet potato growing up as a kid….

One man’s meat Kumara is another man’s poison 🤷‍♂️

The menu appears to have plenty other options.

[PS: Butternut pumpkin soup is favourite with most of my circle]

Kumara is Sweet Potato.
Ah! That explains my extreme dislike- learnt something. I had never come across the term until I lived in New Zealand and just like pumkin or sweet potato, hated it with a passion throughout my 3 or so years there.

Now, NZ lamb and beef are a very different story :p
