OK, well 3700km around the south island and here's the top 5ish culinary highlights in no particular order
- Hunted venison on the bbq at a mates place.
- Burrito from Craft Burrito in Wanaka. Top tier. Great location (see pic below)
- Pie from Fairlie Pies. All exceptional.
- Surprisingly, Mint & Co in Twizel. Just very good quality food, good service and well priced.
- Likewise, Betsey Janes in Fox dished up some tasty, well made food. Small but good menu.
- ... and Slam Club in Kaikoura - seems run by european (Austrian/French), great risotto, smoked meats ... in Kaikoura?
Brewery of the trip was Emporium Kaikoura. Seriously good beers. Their hazies were very good (and served at Slam Club); and have one fo these to try (https://www.emporiumbrewing.co.nz/shop/p/imperialapfelstrudel).

... and custard squares. Wanaka bakery in Alberton, and Twizel. FFS. Ridiculous.
Do custard squares even exist outside of NZ?

Apparently 'vanilla slice' in Aus ... but no idea how they stack up. Good ones are sublime.

Aren’t the best custard squares the one from Pleasant Point? Probably the ones mentioned above as Timaru
Are those the Denheath ones? If so, they're good - but I'd rate the other two I had higher.
Greatest regret: not far enough south for a cheese roll. Will have to make my own again.

One of the best pieces of meat I've had in quite some time.
28 day dry aged grass fed Angus.
Dry brined for about 6 hrs before a reverse sear at 250°F on the Family Q.Turned out brilliantly, the flavour was strong but not overpowering.
Please excuse the shitty cutting board, couldn't be arsed getting the good wood one out as the smell had driven my wife and I hunger crazed.

Colloquially called a "Snot Block" over here in Aus.
And yes, as always, of course it's an Australian invention and not stolen/borrowed from elsewhere and especially not from New Zealand, I swear judge!

just got a lamb shoulder and a couple of pork shoulders today. Smoking in the near future ... can't wait
Love lamb shoulder. It's so lush and takes a lot of smoke really well

Like @canefan, absolutely love lamb shoulder, rate it much higher than a leg of lamb.
Are you planning on slicing or pulling it?
What rub do you use for the lamb?

Probably slice it,
usually just use the rub from Meathead's book - or just ad hoc something. Lamb has a lovely flavour, doesn't need much additions.

I like this one
Personally I always pull shoulder. It just breaks down so nice and softly
