Olive oil from the pharmacy? The history of food in NZ
from Afternoons
A new exhibition is about to open at Wellington Museum that traces our culinary history. Now some of you might well remember that olive oil used to be purchased at the pharmacy or when vegetables were boiled to an inch of their life. The food we eat has changed so much in such a short time, so we'd love to hear about any of your memories on 2101. Ian Wards is the Senior Curator of the exhibition called "Capital of Kai" and he chats to Jesse.
