Blue cheese wontons are a New Zealand street food from Te Aro in Central Wellington, consisting of wontons stuffed with blue cheese, which are then deep-fried and served with raspberry jam or coulis.[1][2] Wontons are a popular food among Wellingtonians in general, owing to the city's sizeable Chinese community.[citation needed] Originating in the Cuba Precinct of Te Aro in the 1990s, they have become popular throughout other Wellington suburbs as a cheap snack served in cafés and restaurants.[3][4] The cheese used can vary but is often Stilton or Gorgonzola, and some recipes call for chunky peanut butter and coriander.[3][5][1]
