For the last few years Takaki has hosted this event. A hangi is a traditional M\u0101ori way of cooking, and it involves burying the food in a pit after lighting a fire. A few hours later, the hangi is unearthed and the food is removed. The result is beautifully tender meat and vegetables with a distinctive smoky taste. Here&#8217;s a short film of the hangi:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8bLQ3hxiG9k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People brought wine, and we drank really well.
