They say that the Chinese in New Zealand is more Chinese than the Chinese. I guess its because we are stuck with what our parents knew before they left China pre 1949. My mother in law was telling me about "fun jew jook" sharing the pig. This was done a few times a year when the tai goon of the village purchased a pig at the market - and this was shared between all the male in the village. Does anyone know what this was all about?
Her father lived in Lane 9, and as such got the tail end of the pig. So it must have been to do with seniority in the village ie the first brother built at the front of the village, and subsequent males built further in?
