Berries you can eat
and berries that are dangerous
Karakia timatanga
A blessing before kai
E te atua
Bless this food
Whakapaingia ēnei kai
Let it be healthy for our bodies and
Hei oranga mō ō mātou tinana
Also for our spirits
Wairua hoki
So it is
Tihei Mauri Ora!
Behold this is life!
Me kai
Kai time
when the wells dry,
we know the worth of water.Benjamin Franklin
