A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

I bring in Mismo Skincare & Mineral Makeup from Australia as I couldn’t find a NZ product to back, that was natural but also active enough to make a visible difference to my customers skin & at a very affordable price!

To give you an idea of how potent Mismo is, they include a lot of Hylauronic Acid in many of their product range, but its not just a minimal percentage of the product like many of the large companies do, but Mismo uses Pharmaceutical grade Hylauronic Acid, that helps replenish moisture that is lost over the years to keep your skin plump & hydrated.

MISSING - CAT - (SYDENHAM) CHRISTCHURCH

Hi there, I have a missing cat 😭. Her name is Cleo and has been missing for a week now. She's a lovely tabby and white 10month old girl. She's desexed and microchipped.
Normal home address is Percival street, sydenham.
She has a tiny meow but a massive rumbly purr.
Was last seen Wednesday night 26.8.20. She had just had dinner and wanted to pop out which is totally normal - Was about 6pm. She normally drives us a bit mad coming in, check bowl, head out to sniff something new, repeat.
Normally a very close to home cat but for some reason this time just didn't come back.
Best contact is me - Maarty 021814828 or message on www.facebook.com...
