New Zealand is famous for its production of food, and the national economy depends on the export of large quantities of consumer goods. Our reputation as a great meat-eating people is not undeserved, however, and the per capita consumption of many staple foods reflects a high standard of living. Overseas visitors sometimes criticise the quality of our catering, but the culinary thoroughness of the New Zealand housewife in the celebration of Yuletide is illustrated in the Christmas dinner table reproduced on this month’s cover from a naturalcolour photograph by Sparrow Industrial Pictures Ltd.
