In some respects it would but the raw sewerage flavor might put a few people off Haahaahaa
Hangi is bloody nice when done properly even shit cuts of meat tender up beautifully.

Love a well done Hangi...nice hot fire with good stones in it, meat well wrapped in banana leaves, nice clean hessian bags over the top of the extra banana leaves....damn...my mouth is watering.

Cheers, Vince

Thanks for the video Vinnie, that stuff looks like clay, very gray too. I suppose there are areas that liquify and areas that don't? Sort of depending on the local geology? Sure wouldn't want a house built in it. Seems there's a lot of ground water or a high water table. Where I live the water table is only about 6ft (2 meters?) and I bet if it vibrated enough......but maybe it's the type of soil more than the amount of water. Anyway that's interesting stuff.

I think you will get liquifaction wherever the water table is close enough to the surface to be "involved", regardless of the type of ground...sand, clay, loam...it will all liquify with enough water and shaking.

Cheers, Vince

All good this time guys, had the in laws down from Christchurch today and they hardly noticed the last one.
I guess the previous shakes have sorted whats going to fall over and only the good buildings are left.
