The food that New Zealand eat is cereal, honey, farmed salmon, New Zealand yams, and wild mushrooms. The New Zealand passion for dairy food also made ice cream important to New Zealanders. Some of New Zealand people claimed the New Zealand has no culture at all. Many people have no culture separate from their ancestor's country of origin. The kiwifruit is the edible fruit of a culture group of the woody vine Actinida delicious and hybrids between this and other species in the genus Actinida. Growers gradually adopted the name and in 1974 the kiwifruit became the official trade name.
