Feeding the multitudes
If you were at Te Matatini last week, there’s a good chance you’ll have had some kai from the hāngi master Rewi Spraggon and his team. Rewi prides himself on running the only large scale commercial hāngi operation in the country that produces hāngi food the old way. Not in those new-fangled steamers thanks very much — but in an earth pit, over carefully selected and heated stones.
Here he is talking to Dale, after the flooding in Auckland and before the cyclone, about keeping the hāngi taste and tradition alive, and feeding the multitudes.
