In yesterdays Sunday Herald

In case the Kelly missed it there was talk about a man who has plans to bring back the good old GEORGIE PIE, but MCD's dont like the sound of it,
I say good on him and I hope he can bring back the good old GEORGIE PIE

I did see it , they had a big picture of a Georgie Pie pie, how could I have missed it

Mc Ds is considering fighting it, tho , the guys pies arent called Georgie Pie pies, they are GP pies and different logo etc
BUT , the exciting part , which I will quote .
" McDonald's NZ managing director Mark Hawthorne said his company owned all Georgie Pie copy rights and trademarks and would investigate further ,blah blah blah , he then goes on to say (exciting part)
"he said the company was considering a GEORGIE PIE COMEBACK , not in standalone restaurants but intergrated into other outlets, we have discussed GP in a more serious nature with our investors within the past few months."

I will die happy , if Georgie pie comes back , no other pie comes close .

shhhh, we have to think positive , *original recipe original recipe original recipe *
hmmm, wonder if they'll bring back the Buzz Bar sundaes

A disgusting chain "restaurant" I think only in Auckland?? (although we had one for a while in Wellington). Like a McD's or KFC but they sold pies.

(no offence to those who loved the place, I thought it was awful!)

I used to love Georgie Pie. Our family were regulars there after Speedway on Saturday nights. Mmmmm Chicken Pie

OMG, I'm so with you on that one! That was the best! And I also love, love loved the apple and blackberry with the little bit of sugar on the top! I really hope they do a come back!!!

I can't help but wonder if sometimes people remember it being better than it was? The pies were pretty average really...I get much tastier pies from my local bakery. The main thing about GP was it was well priced.

I liked the apple pies.

Does anyone in Akl remeber the big GP at the top of Wairau road and how popular it was cause it was one of the first with the indoor play ground? That would have been nearly 20 years ago?

Then it turned into lord knows how many asian restaurants with those torn curtains and washing being hung out on the upstairs level. So gross.

oooh gross, I hate bakery pies, they are always full of gravy .
The only pies that are slightly similar to GP is Jesters

Our old GP is now a pub , and thats not doing well either.

I miss Georgie Pie!! i was gutted when they got rid of it!! I agree with kelly, no other pie comes close at all!

I hope they bring it back. Food town used to sell pies that tasted exactly the same at Georgie pie pies! Then they got rid of them aswell GRRR
