PIQUANT PIKOPIKO ON THE KAI TIME MENU
 The Rotorua-based chef that brings viewers the most succulent and delectable Māori recipes each week on KAI TIME ON THE ROAD is taking viewers through his secret patch in search of an elusive Māori delicacy this Thursday June 30 at 8.00 PM.
The piquant pikopiko, otherwise known as asplenium bulbiherum or the Māori asparagus, is experiencing a renaissance in contemporary New Zealand cuisine. Not only is this quaint-looking vegetable fun to say, it is also rich in Vitamin E, an alternative source of iron and delicious to boot.
KAI TIME ON THE ROAD presenters Pete Peeti and Kingi Biddle are off to the densest part of the bush in the Rotorua district in search of Pete’s secret pikopiko hideaway this week – following a hearty breakfast of Kai Time Ensenada, that is.
As Pete ventures into the heart of the Mamaku Ranges, he lays down some ground rules for picking pikopiko. While not sharing his exclusive location, he offers some pragmatic advice for the modern day hunter-gatherer. Looping cotton onto your belt, taking stock of landmarks, using a compass and following streams are all methods of observing safe practices in New Zealand’s dense bush when out gathering kai.
“You’ll notice when you’re gathering, your head is always down so you tend to lose track of where you’ve been and where you’ve come from. I’ve always been taught to look for the landmarks and to go to the safest areas. Let people know where you are,” he says.
Meanwhile, Kingi lags behind for a kōrero with fellow Pumanawa FM DJ Rosemary Rangitauira. Rosemary has only ever eaten pikopiko boiled but she is in for a pleasant awakening to the vegetable’s versatility as Pete returns to whip up Grilled Trout on Risotto with Pikopiko Pesto.
KAI TIME ON THE ROAD screens this Thursday June 30 at 8.00 PM.

TRUE VICTIMS OF WAR EXPOSED ON MĀORI TELEVISION
Yesterday, they were from Korea and the Philippines, or Jews living in Poland. Today, they are from Somalia, Mozambique and Haiti; they are Muslims living in Bosnia or Tutsis living in Rwanda. Regardless of the conflict, victims of rape have historically been outcast and ostracised, sometimes even from their own families.
The gritty and disturbing documentary WAR BABIES screens on Māori Television on Tuesday June 28 at 8.30 PM and explores the relationship of the mother and child born out of a crime of war – rape.
Produced by one of Quebec’s foremost international documentary production companies, Macumba International Inc, WAR BABIES unmasks a horrifying reality; that for as long as men have fought in wars, women have been part of the spoils of conquering armies.
Throughout the 20th century, the same crime has been perpetrated again and again upon thousands of women. For example, in the Bangladesh War of Independence from Pakistan, some 250,000 women were raped in atrocities that are beyond the scope of any rational thought.
Many of the women who survived wartime rapes now live with a daily reminder of their ordeal. Namely, the children born of this heinous crime are the children of the enemy.
WAR BABIES was filmed in Bangladesh, Bosnia, Rwanda, Nicaragua and Korea and portrays victims of war time rape as they reveal their harrowing stories and expose a raft of sensitive issues. How will the son or daughter of the enemy be treated? Can a mother look at the face of her child and not see the face of her assailant? Can she ever see her child without reliving her ordeal?
Says Xavera Mukakinani – survivor and rape victim of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda: “I would have liked to get rid of it, but I didn’t do it. Even after she (daughter Marie-Chantal Akimana) was born, I wasn’t happy, not like a mother is happy when she has a baby in normal circumstances. I kept thinking she wouldn’t be normal; that she was a child of the enemy.”
Intense and grave, WAR BABIES screens on Māori Television this Tuesday June 28 at 8.30 PM.
