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>}}
