New Zealand PM roasted over cannibalism joke
Key has been at loggerheads with a Maori tribe, the Tuhoe, over negotiations to settle their grievances over land confiscations by European settlers in the 19th century.
During a speech to a tourism conference Thursday, Key joked about having dinner with the neighbouring Ngati Porou tribe, or iwi.
“The good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn’t have been quite so attractive,” Key said.
A settlement negotiator with the Tuhoe tribe, Tamati Kruger, told Radio New Zealand the joke was in poor taste.

I guess he wanted to be in “rare” form for the meeting.

Perhaps the joke was totally tasteless.
Or…..what, no fava beans and a nice chianti?

Or could be like the Miller Lite Commercial – Tastes Great – Less Filling. – OR -
(get out the snare drum and cymbal) One Iwi looks at another and asks how’s it going. The other Iwi says “I’m having a ball”. The first says “stop eating so fast!”
You realize that this thread will be just more red meat for our favorite Kiwi Kommenter.

The bait is set, we’ll see if he “bites”
You realize if the PM settles with the Iwi, this could chew up some valuable real estate.
Does it taste like chicken?

If he doesn’t run fast enough he’ll be yelling “Cock-a-doodle-do”
I’m still waiting for Phoe to sink his teeth into this one.
He won’t comment since he can’t attack the U.S.
Perhaps after he’s finished eating.
Is Prime Minister cooked rare, like prime rib?
Maybe after this he’ll move to the “Cook” Islands and “dessert” his post.
Could be he’s having a hard time swallowing the PM’s joke.
Wonder if NZ has their version of “Meat the Press”?
What does one serve with Prime Minister? I assume it would be a red wine, but what about the potatoes and vegetables?
Hard cheese, and fricasseed crow.
Wonder if NZ have Iwi kitchen inspections?
How about a little Phony Baloney appetizer before the main course?
