I do remember when $5 would get you an absolute feast at Georgie Pie, 3 pies, chips and a milkshake. Of course there were numerous stories about various dodgy things being found in the pies ( ranging from staples to condoms ) but at that price you took your chances I guess.
My $5 was mince and cheese pie, apple pie, chips, sundae, and coke. You could also get a KFC 1/4 pack for the same price.
Possibly off topic but pies to me aren’t nice if they’re made with fruit. I reckon they always have to be savoury. Also pretty much “steak and” or “mince and”……none of that crossover butter chicken pie shit.
I love apple pies. The Georgie Pie ones were awesome. I'm not a pie purist, if they have something in them and they taste nice to me I'll happily eat them.
I probably have't had a pie in over two years now - since I was last in NZ.
Aussies make shit pies it must be said. Not that you can tell them....
Yep, I have a famous Sydney pie shop on the corner. I've bought bacon and egg rolls from them.

I'm mostly with you there. But there was something special about the apple and later the apricot pies from maccas
My go to these days if I’m travelling for work ( and again only every now and again ) is 2 x Pepper Steak from BP Connects. Absolutely delicious and a very filling feed at only about $10 all up. The only issue can be having to pull over in shitty weather and eat them cos I hate the pastry dropping everywhere in the car.
I love a good pie and love butter chicken but mixing them together ? Fuck no, it’s two cultures clashing and not getting on.
I quite liked that butter chicken pie in NZ, and the hangi pies that I only ever found in Putaruru.

Again, I’m probably a bit weird cos I’d happily eat Bacon and Eggs as my only meal for the rest of my life but Bacon and Egg Pie just doesn’t really do it for me.

@mn5 I think those were urban legends, heard plenty about KFC that I knew were BS.
Absolutely they were BS I reckon. They have such stringent protocols.
My father worked for the meat company that supplied Georgie Pie. They bought high quality product. Hygiene standards were really high from start to finish, nobody wanted their name sullied. My sister also worked there for a while, it was all maintained through the process. I'd eat another one tomorrow.

Yes. Not to being weird even if that might be true, but you need runny yolk with the bacon.

Different strokes I guess. I love B&E pies and make a mean one with bacon, eggs, and a sprinkling of onion, peas and seedless tomato for interest. But my favourite pies would be steak and mushroom and steak and kidney.
Sort of back on topic, I used to be quite the fan of cobblestone potato top pies as well. Well, basically all mince and steak pies I guess...

Adding anything but bacon and egg to a B&E pie just ruins it for me.I don’t want a bacon, egg, tomato and onion pie. 🤣

He feuded with Jake Roberts and the Ultimate Warrior. Hogan wouldn’t wrestle him apparently cos he was a bit unhinged supposedly. Died at 41.
Always one of my favourites back in the day but then lots of them were fucken cool.

but yeah seriously, the toll on the body for all those superstars from the time on the road, matches, workouts, roads, recreational drugs, alcohol……..
Fuck that for a life. Hogan has lost a shitload of contemporaries at relatively young ages.

@canefan You must remember Ravishing Rick Rude catch phrase after his entrance. "Cut the music".
I was always an Ultimate Warrior fan.
“What I'd like to have right now, is for all you fat, ugly, inner-city sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show the ladies what a real sexy man looks like…..”
Rude beat him up backstage apparently. Their matches were fucken epic though, #nohomo but Rude was ripped as fuck.
Be sure to catch Dark side of the Ring, the episode on the Warrior is awesome. Very sad and poignant too.
