Once you get tired of going out and eating bland local food, you’ll have two options: go to restaurants that serve international cuisine or cook your own food. The problem with the first option is that the international restaurant scene is rather limited in Eastern Europe.<ref>[http://mavericktraveler.com/13-things-dont-tell-eastern-europe/ 13 Things They Don’t Tell You About Eastern Europe] by James Maverick, Maverick Treveler</ref>}}

In response to the question, "Do people in New Zealand eat spicy food?" Michael Gass wrote:
  −
{{Cquote|Three decades ago it was an impossible thing. The mention of a [[curry]] or a spicy dish would send Kiwis into spasms. The fear was so overpowering.The curry or anything else remotely relative to chillies was Asian junk food.
  −

Kiwis then were used to bland, tasteless food. It was all about meat and two veggies as dinner. The meat and veges were thrown in a baking dish and cooked to high heaven. A brown sauce helped it along. Potatoes and spinach were common food. Kumara, cabbage, carrots, beans and cauli were staple. These were just baked or boiled. We called them a ‘boil-up’.<ref>[https://www.quora.com/Do-people-in-New-Zealand-eat-spicy-food Do people in New Zealand eat spicy food?], Quora</ref>}}
