Re: Things you can't buy in New Zealand
I'm sure I've seen quorn for sale here in New Zealand and I think it was at New World. Can't say I agree on your assessment of it as a food source 
but it is a hell of a lot more ethical than meat (excepting that it promotes battery hen farming and animal feed lots etc.)

Re: Things you can't buy in New Zealand
Mind you soft Jaffa cakes seem out of their depth here compared to the much harder and more rugged native Afghan biscuit.
Some foods just don't travel well, like Terry's Chocolate Oranges, make sense in the UK at Christmas but Christmas is in the summer here and they'd never survive a sunny day on the parcel shelf of a car headed to the beach. Unfit for purpose of sale.
