What is the ONE dish that defines our nation? Such a light hearted question took a awkward turn when no one could agree on what New Zealand's dish is 🤔

We did what the people wanted & carefully selected 32 ICONIC kiwi dishes as contenders for 'Dish on the Nation.' 

"If a dish doesn't win its round, its gone. not our fault" Clint said on air.

"Well, to my fellow Kiwi citizens, I want to make the pitch once and for all that there is only one true Kiwi cuisine, and that is the Marmite and Chip sandwich. When you think about it, it is unique and special to New Zealand. It's New Zealand made. It's New Zealand chips on New Zealand bread, done together, done incredibly well. And I would encourage and exhort all of you to get Marmite and Chip sandwich back on track."
