Food and religion

Zealand they brought their own foods with them
• Some of these, especially pork and potatoes, were quickly adopted by Māori
• Potatoes were particularly popular as they were grown in a similar way to kūmara but produced a much higher yield with less effort
• Other European foods such as wheat, pumpkin, mutton, sugar, and many types of fruit became popular
• Alcohol, also became part of Māori life
