On the way we stopped at our favourite cafe in the area The River Cottage Cafe (latterly the Brown Sugar Cafe). Tom, the resident cafe cat tried twice to steal part of my husband's danish pastry. Ever indulgent, I fed him the froth off my cappucino to distract him.
The other advantage of heading to the Horowhenua region is that it is the "vegetable basket" of the N. Island. This monstrous broccoli weighed 2.1kg AFTER its outer leaves and stalk were removed. Anyone got any recipes for broccoli?

Oh fantastic Isabelle, Merci!!!! What an amazing combination.
Here's a family favorite recipe for broccoli salad:
1 head chopped broccoli (maybe 1/2 of your big one)
1 medium chopped onion
1/2 c crumbled bacon
8 oz pkg shredded cheese
Toss and pour over it:
1 c mayonnaise
1/3 c vinegar
3 T sugar
(You also add raisins, craisins or sunflower seeds)
Serves 6. Keep refrigerated
Thanks Ms Sparrow, I'll try that.
