I think the real winnie the pooh was a black bear
the book 'we are going on a bear hunt' was changed in NZ to 'we are going on a moa hunt' but thing is...moas have gone extinct so its not likely you'll find any. The Maori ate them all.

Kumara, taro, rotten corn, pork and puha boil up are traditonal maori food
Meat cooked hangi style in earth ovens.

Kaimoana too, i.e seafood...kina, crayfish, eel, whitebait, cockles, pipi, toheroa, greenlip mussels

Though everyone took to potatoes..as the crop can keep better than kumara in a cooler climate.

Lamb is also a staple meat. Though beef is eaten, we dont eat nearly as much ground beef as americans do. And its not burgers its more in meat pies and sausages.

fish and chips...now am hungry...

Its probably a well known fact that maori used to practice cannibalism.

At least the chinese never did that...though we get accused of eating all sorts of other unpalatable foods, and are partial to sharks fins and chicken feet. But not me. I prefer wood ears and tofu. lol
