Tell us about the pub/bar foods down there.
I'm always curious to know what different countries/cultures eat for their simpler foods.

So how about that Lord of The Rings eh? It pretty much help kept the NZ film industy alive and brings some tourists. Tell us about the pub/bar foods down there. I'm always curious to know what different countries/cultures eat for their simpler foods. It depends as a lot of the normal pubs in Auckland and the North Island will do the standard pub grab such as fish and chips etc but nowadays you will be able to find Indian curries etc. Not so sure about the south Island as I haven't been there for a while but can't go past bluff oysters and seafood. |

What's puts the zeal in New Zealand? Pretty much when you live in one of the geologically isolated counties in the world you get the mindset that is f*** it might as well make the most of it. |

So what do you do on Waitangi Day? Most years I just have end up having a a BBQ with my friends and this year its on a Friday so that means a 3 day weekend so I can drink. There are Celebrations across some parts of the country but I should point out that the holiday itself is quite controversial amongst certain groups. |

Why are so many of you coming to Australia? Well due to the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement New Zealanders with a valid passport can live and work in Australia for long as they want (providing they haven't serious criminal charges or been deported)and that a lot of them they have better chance of making more money over there. Though quite a few of them have been coming back over past couple of years. |

What are Flight of the Conchords up to these days? They haven't done any music for a while but both Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie's film careers are doing well. |

While listening to Tunein a few months ago, I heard a few ads for something called a Georgie Pie. What are they, and are they any good?

While listening to Tunein a few months ago, I heard a few ads for something called a Georgie Pie. Are they any good? Georgie Pie was originally a New Zealand owned fast food chain that sold pies which existed from the 70s until McDonald’s brought them out in the mid 90s and then shortly after were closed down. However over past few years there was a large group on Facebook calling for it to be brought back and in 2013 Maccas deiced that they would reintroduce a couple of their pies on main menu to shut those people up. As for the pies themselves being any good.... even though I was still kid when they shut down I still found them to be pretty meh and during their final years the quality of the pies went rapidly downhill to cost cutting. Also personally I've always believed that whole bring it back campaign has been based manly on nostalgia and nationalism then actual quality because I really didn't hear anyone being too sad when they were brought out in 1996. |
