'O le Povi Pusa Ma'ataua' (jewel box of bulls)
6 September 2005 - 2 October 2005
Peel open the tins that make up Michel Tuffery's 'O le Povi Pusa Ma'ataua' and there's more than the salty South Seas via-the-abattoir scent of corned beef. The tin bull rip-snorts off the chocolate box lid and gets its horns into our Pacific paradise . The bulls' innards can be converted into a good-old Kiwi barbie, which has been fired up everywhere from Porirua to Park Avenue.
