Prime Minister Chris Luxon chimed in with his choice...

"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."
