The menu above was emailed to me with the following notation:
The 2007 and 2008 Hospitality Association of NZ "Best New Zealand Restaurant", Iguaçu Restaurant has designed a five-course tasting journey matched with premium wines from The Crater Rim. The Crater Rim, an award-winning North Canterbury family-owned winemaking company specialising in sub-regionally specific varietals, will host the evening. Dinner will include five courses and matching wines, plus a glass of wine on arrival. The evening will also feature some exclusive wines that are usually only available at the cellar door.
I didn't recognize many of the items on the menu. The one I decided to look up was the "kangaroo carpaccio." Imagine my surprise on discovering that it means "raw kangaroo." "Carpaccio" was supposedly invented in Venice for a countess who had been told by her doctor to eat only raw meat, and named such for the color of the raw beef resembling a painting by that Venetian painter. In this country the term for such raw meat would be "Roadkill."
