AUCKLAND NOTEBOOK
Sir-yYour correspondent "M.M.," who writes from Invercargill lyrical praise of Auckland’s "wonderful people dining at those wonderful restaurants-plus-atmosphere," must be easily impressed, My last and most vivid recollection of dining in Auckland is of a cheese omelette consumed in semi-dark-ness, but still not too dark to see a mass of egg with a slab of tasteless cheese lurking in the middle of it. The atmosphere of this particular restaurant was subsequently helped along by my hiccups. I’d advice "M.M." to shop round a little in Invercargill-the quality of the food down there is excellent, and if he sticks to the specialties of the area, oysters, whitebait, crayfish, etc., he’ll find they will more than compensate for the lack of Auckland’s halfbaked atmosphere.
