Food technologist and author Jennifer Yee Collinson, who also happens to be a born and bred Kiwi, sent Editor at Large this missive:
"Hokey Pokey Ice Cream is as iconic as Whittaker's Chocolate Peanut Slabs and Buzzy Bee's in NZ." [You might recall images of Prince William playing with said Buzzy Bee when he visited New Zealand as a child with his mother and father].
"Hokey Pokey is what kiwi's call honeycomb - made by cooking sugar and golden syrup to a toffee and stirring through bicarbonate of soda so that the mixture bubbles and foams up. The resulting hokey pokey or honeycomb is light, airy and crispy with slight burnt caramel notes. Hokey Pokey Ice cream does not contain nuts but nuggets of this honeycomb blended into vanilla ice cream."
