Hey just so you know, we always say 'in' the North or South Island, rather than 'on', because they're so big. It's like how you wouldn't say you're 'on Australia' or 'on Hokkaido', because even though they're islands they're just too big to really be 'on'. Nice job with saying 'the' North Island though; soo many foreigners don't pick up on that. *L&P* (short for Lemon & Paeroa, the place it was invented) is an iconic NZ drink beloved by kiwis, just like Pineapple Lumps and Whittaker's chocolate.
LP is Lemon and Paeroa (catchphrase ‘World Famous in New Zealand). Paeroa is a town in The Waikato where, originally, spring water was used to make the drink.
Maccas... Mcds... McDonald's... It's called all those here 😁 Maccas is just our shortened way of saying it.. Everyone will know regardless how you say it 👍
That pie is a little piece of NZ history! If you noticed the logo on the wrapper it said 'Georgie pie' which was an iconic NZ fast food chain that sold pies of all flavours, for only $1, back in the 80's. McD's bought them out in the 90's and decided to introduce a pie option a few years ago in honour of the brand.
They should still be $2 or $3 based on the price increases, since the early 90s until now, on cheese (from $5/kg in the 90's to $9/kg today), meat ($6/kg to $18/kg), and flour, but they are over $4 now.
Place in Whangarei that's about the size of a small motorhome called "The Oasis" and they make the most amazing burgers. Of all the takeaway burgers I've had they're easily my favorite.
I like to go to Kelly Tarltons and put the straw straight up a sea turtles nose when I'm finished, so they feel for at home as if they were in the wild.
Pretty minor but the correct pronounciation of Taupo is like 'Toe-paw'. It is a reasonably recent push to pronounce Maori words correctly so it is still about 50/50 even with kiwi's as to which way they say it.
Kiwi burger isn’t that great at all, you could’ve had a really good burger at any fish and chips shop - beetroot and egg is typical burger additions. Mince and cheese is a staple in nz 😂any bakery would offer a much better one too 😋

@@michellejane9092 Yes that is actually true (1991 for NZ and 1999 for AUS). Australians have been using beetroot on sandwiches and burgers since the 1940s. I'd suggest that it is probably about the same for NZ.

By the way, every burger in New Zealand doesn't have beetroot and egg. Our burgers normally consist of lettuce, tomato (maybe), cheese, patty, and sauce.
Macdonalds is nicknamed Maccy D’s in the uk. I wish our Macdonalds was like that in the uk. Our beef burgers are like cardboard and they look like they have been thrown around the room. Beetroot on almost anything is common in Australia and New Zealand.

ok way back when we use to have pie pestaurants called georgy pies it was actually the best place to go when as a teen and couldnt afford much and thoses pies use to be $1 had many different types of pies ,then for some reason got brought out and for years nothing . then people started reminising about how good ths pies where ,then maccas started to sell them ,i guess maccas brought georgie pies out lol but its not the sam as way back then, another food icon you might wanna try is a sunday and dip your fries in your sundae its delish .
Georgie Pie took out a lot of debt in order to expand throughout the country. They were operating at a profit, but not by much and had close to no cash on hand. Given they were expanding so fast and taking away market share from McD's, McDonalds bought the debt from the lending banks and then foreclosed on the debt, forcing GP out of business. It's an example of the worst characteristics of international corporates.
That Pie is called a "Georgie Pie" which used to be a NZ fast food restaurant back in the 90's that McDonalds bought out. They used to have varieties like mince, steak, minced steak & cheese (the one you got), sweet&sour pork, chicken & vege, sweet apple, and blueberry apple pies. McDonalds brought back some of the Georgie Pies because of demand from kiwis. They were so popular because of the pastry, and they were only $1 for the small (the one you had), and $2 for the large. So for $5 you could get 4 x steak mince and cheese pies and a small fries. Every kid back in the 90's used to go there after school and they used to do childrens birthday parties as well.
A good thing to mention is that there's no tipping here and sales tax (15% GST) is included in advertised prices. This helps to explain why food and some things seem a bit more expensive compared to the US.
Burgers in NZ were originally made at Burger Bars in the 1960s and they had a large Bun toasted, beef, beetroot, cheese, lettuce, mayo, tomatoe, onion, fried egg ,and Watties tomatoe sauce. Maccas made their version to replica this a few years back when they started selling the Angus grass fed Beef and due to public demand for a Kiwi burger.
Beetroot and egg is popular as a takeaway burger from the local Fish N Chip store. So thats why Mac D's has it as their Kiwi Burger. The DC3 was a top dresser before it's retirement. Enjoying your videos 👋😁👍
Fun fact: The first ever Maccas built here in NZ was built in the same town Whittakers chocolates etc is made! North of Wellington in a town/city called Porirua 🧡 my hometown!
Really enjoying seeing both of yours and the Endless adventures takes on the same outing. Clever the way you have all done it so that you aren't intruding on each others work.
It’s actually L&P and it stands for Lemon & Paeroa because it’s a lemon drink that was made in the town in nz called paeroa. And it’s a drink only found in nz!
Lake Taupo is pronounced 'toe-paw'. Ordinary, everyday beef here in NZ is all grass fed which I think is completely different to the US where you have to search it out - so yes - something to write home about! The huge mountain you mentioned at 10.32 is called Mt Ruapehu and was the location of Mount Doom in Lord of the Rings. Hope you were told that at the time - a sacred mountain to the local Iwi (tribe) and a special place for all of us Tolkein fans.
I've been to that McDonalds in Taupo. It's pretty cool you can go inside that plane, and they have little diner tables where you can eat your food. Seems unsanitary but it's regularly cleaned so it's 👌
L&P - refers to Lemon & Paeroa - a town in the Waikato. for the kiwis here - before there was L&P - there was Lemon & Te Aroha - Te Aroha was a spa town from 1882, when its hot pools were first developed by the government, until well into the 20th century. People suffering from a range of ailments came to Te Aroha to bathe in the curative waters, and to drink them. @t
Beetroot in a burger is something I thought everyone around the world had lol It adds so much fresh taste to the burger and it helps level out the greasy flavour the meat brings.
The pie is a "Georgie pie". It was a New Zealand exclusive franchise from the 70s to the late 90s. They were brought out by McDonald's. By popular demand McDonald's brought back, sold the pies again from 2013 for a while and then stopped. They had a awesome selection as well including desert pies and a $1 menu (which you won't find in NZ currently) Also, it's pronounced L&P (L and P) Kia ora, awesome video!
We use to have a chain restaurant back in the day called Georgie Pie and it had the BEST indoor playground. And they were known for selling meat pies and fries. They were bought by McDonald’s in 1996 and closed down.. that’s why McDonald’s brought out the pies a few years back!
i hope u get to try hangi...its food cooked in the ground or a puia which is cooked food in natural hot spring. I personally do taste the difference between a big mac and a kiwi burger, but everyone to there own taste. Welcome to aotearoa, new zealand
Hokey pokey isn't just found in NZ but I've only ever heard it called that in NZ, crunchies are also a British chocolate bar and its the exact same thing except on the wrapper instead of saying hokey pokey covered in chocolate it calls it honeycomb and they are essentially the same things.
Its L & P lemon and Paeroa which is a town where it was made. Beetroot/pineapple is a norm in a burger, fries, we call them chips, beetroot goes very well with the meat
My parents are from New Zealand and we go every year and McDonalds is better than in the uk but you need to have fish and chips, way better than fish and chips in the uk
1. Please get a good guide 2. Do some research 3. Pronounce words right 4. Insert pictures of what your talking about (cookie time cookie) 5. Dont sterotype from one sample, everything and place is different 6. Talk to someone who knows NZ Thanks JS
Josh Smith Take a chill pill, you can’t expect someone who doesn’t live in NZ to pronounce it right lol. Don’t watch videos like this if it triggers you so much.
Every week after school on friday, the kids all do a poll on insta asking if anyones going to maccas after school and then meet up, buy a frozen coke then walk around.
The history of that Pie is that Mc Donald’s brought the franchise Georgie Pie, a New Zealand fast food pie chain that was opened in New Zealand in the 70’s and they were competition to Mc Donald’s and they brought them out in 1998 and Kiwis love their pies and Georgie Pie was a favourite and we all missed it and Mc Donald’s decided to bring back one of the most popular pie the steak and cheese back on the menu in 2013 and we have been enjoying it since then as McDonalds held the rights and recipe to the brand when they brought it
8:27 one thing here in nz that most people do with their frozen cokes is to drink the bottom part with all the flavouring and then eat (yes physically chew) the part with less flavouring at the top because thats where a lot of the ice clumps and it just dissolves in your mouth.
L&P gets it name from the lemon flavour...and a place called Paeroa because they originally used spring water from there to manufacture the drink. It used to be called Lemon & Paeroa but now that it's made and bottled in Auckland, they no longer use the Paeroa in the name...thus L&P
You gotta take the top of the pie off before eating it and you gotta put tomato sauce in it then mix it all together. Eat the insides then eat the base then the lid
If I remember correctly, MacDonald’s brought out a pie franchise in NZ called Georgie Pie, then closed all the outlets throughout the country to give themselves better consumer advantage. In doing so they breached the consumer laws here in New Zealand, so a group of NZ lawyers took McDonalds to court. So to comply with NZ law McDonalds have sell the Georgie pies on their menu. It was a victory for Kiwi’s when an American corporation got put in their place by little old nzer’s.
2 Rules about NZ Pies 1. Hit up a bakery for your pie. NZ is known for it's meats pie so you won't find a NZ pie inside Maccas lol. 2. You must always blow on the pie 😊
Georgie pie used to be a chain restaurant that specialised in baking pies. McDonald's bought out the franchise and closed it down. Many years later they they added it to the menu. Yaye...
First rules of pies -
Don't go to Macca's. Go to a bakery.

If you wanna try l&p, you gotta buy it from the bottle, that version is postmix, basically maccas cordial, and isn't as good as the real stuff
Hannah Grace Hainsworth yeah! They add syrup and it’s always at the bottom the one from like four square and that are pure😂
Yeah it's and L&P from a can or small bottle for me or not at all. The mixer L&P is usually not very nice.

Maccas made their version to replica this a few years back when they started selling the Angus grass fed Beef and due to public demand for a Kiwi burger.
Beetroot and egg is popular as a takeaway burger from the local Fish N Chip store. So thats why Mac D's has it as their Kiwi Burger. The DC3 was a top dresser before it's retirement. Enjoying your videos 👋😁👍
@JoyDivision1976 I live near Hamilton Airport, PAC has the Cresco which is another fine example of a multipurpose aircraft. Thanks for the comment👍
As soon as she said LP I lost it man it's L&P and I wonder why it's lemony L&P Stqnds for Lemon and Paeroa
Fun fact: The first ever Maccas built here in NZ was built in the same town Whittakers chocolates etc is made! North of Wellington in a town/city called Porirua 🧡 my hometown!
Who else is from nz and lives in auz this made me so hungry.Miss the great food back home.
Shinning us [kiwi] in such greatness...great forum to do so 👍👍 You guys are great!!! Chur 😎
Really enjoying seeing both of yours and the Endless adventures takes on the same outing. Clever the way you have all done it so that you aren't intruding on each others work.
It’s actually L&P and it stands for Lemon & Paeroa because it’s a lemon drink that was made in the town in nz called paeroa. And it’s a drink only found in nz!
Lake Taupo is pronounced 'toe-paw'. Ordinary, everyday beef here in NZ is all grass fed which I think is completely different to the US where you have to search it out - so yes - something to write home about! The huge mountain you mentioned at 10.32 is called Mt Ruapehu and was the location of Mount Doom in Lord of the Rings. Hope you were told that at the time - a sacred mountain to the local Iwi (tribe) and a special place for all of us Tolkein fans.
I'M FROM TAUPO! AND I LOVE GOING TO MACCAS THERE FOR HOTCAKES!!
Maccas fresh health hahahahhahahahahha lol what
I've been to that McDonalds in Taupo. It's pretty cool you can go inside that plane, and they have little diner tables where you can eat your food. Seems unsanitary but it's regularly cleaned so it's 👌
Yop
Hi Kahu!
L&P - refers to Lemon & Paeroa - a town in the Waikato.
for the kiwis here - before there was L&P - there was Lemon & Te Aroha -
Te Aroha was a spa town from 1882, when its hot pools were first
developed by the government, until well into the 20th century. People
suffering from a range of ailments came to Te Aroha to bathe in the
curative waters, and to drink them.

Beetroot in a burger is something I thought everyone around the world had lol It adds so much fresh taste to the burger and it helps level out the greasy flavour the meat brings.
Taupo said like - Toe Paw :) glad you enjoyed our country
Unfortunately most kiwis don't pronounce it correctly either.
That only makes sense with a kiwi accent though. "Toe paw" in a US accent would sound very wrong.
The pie is a "Georgie pie". It was a New Zealand exclusive franchise from the 70s to the late 90s. They were brought out by McDonald's. By popular demand McDonald's brought back, sold the pies again from 2013 for a while and then stopped.
They had a awesome selection as well including desert pies and a $1 menu (which you won't find in NZ currently)
Also, it's pronounced L&P (L and P)
Kia ora, awesome video!
We use to have a chain restaurant back in the day called Georgie Pie and it had the BEST indoor playground. And they were known for selling meat pies and fries. They were bought by McDonald’s in 1996 and closed down.. that’s why McDonald’s brought out the pies a few years back!
i hope u get to try hangi...its food cooked in the ground or a puia which is cooked food in natural hot spring. I personally do taste the difference between a big mac and a kiwi burger, but everyone to there own taste. Welcome to aotearoa, new zealand
you gotta say the & in L&P lmao
It made me cringe so hard
Can confirm egg and beetroot are more common burger ingredients here. I am not a beetroot person myself but I definitely love a good egg on my burger.
Hokey pokey isn't just found in NZ but I've only ever heard it called that in NZ, crunchies are also a British chocolate bar and its the exact same thing except on the wrapper instead of saying hokey pokey covered in chocolate it calls it honeycomb and they are essentially the same things.
L and p.. Lol lemon and paeroa is the drink :)
It physically pained me when she said LP. Sorry... its L AND P..... there is also a giant L&P bottle in Piaroa
Anyone else gonna be singing "kiwiburger that's our tucker, a la la la, lalalalalalaaaa" for the rest of their day now? 😂
Lol
Hi jam..
@@manerjack2548 ... Sorry do I know you? 😂
@@jamdamonium I guess nah, so where are ya from?
Cool vid, how can anyone be offended when you have such a great smile.
Always blow on the pie!
Im a kiwi and i dont like mcds kiwiburgers 😂 Loved ur vid tho and the music too 🤘
Its L & P lemon and Paeroa which is a town where it was made. Beetroot/pineapple is a norm in a burger, fries, we call them chips, beetroot goes very well with the meat
My parents are from New Zealand and we go every year and McDonalds is better than in the uk but you need to have fish and chips, way better than fish and chips in the uk
1. Please get a good guide
2. Do some research
3. Pronounce words right
4. Insert pictures of what your talking about (cookie time cookie)
5. Dont sterotype from one sample, everything and place is different
6. Talk to someone who knows NZ
Thanks JS
Josh Smith Take a chill pill, you can’t expect someone who doesn’t live in NZ to pronounce it right lol. Don’t watch videos like this if it triggers you so much.
Lax it😂
I got so triggered when she said lp instead of L&P
yess same
Every week after school on friday, the kids all do a poll on insta asking if anyones going to maccas after school and then meet up, buy a frozen coke then walk around.
My folks designed the machine that flips the pastry without damaging the pie, and cooks the pies for Maccas ^.^
KIWIS ARE COOL... AREN'T WE??? KA PAI!!! SWEET, YEAH-NAH... WANT SOME CHUPS BRUH??? 😆😆😆
Haha 😂
Lol L AND P
The history of that Pie is that Mc Donald’s brought the franchise Georgie Pie, a New Zealand fast food pie chain that was opened in New Zealand in the 70’s and they were competition to Mc Donald’s and they brought them out in 1998 and Kiwis love their pies and Georgie Pie was a favourite and we all missed it and Mc Donald’s decided to bring back one of the most popular pie the steak and cheese back on the menu in 2013 and we have been enjoying it since then as McDonalds held the rights and recipe to the brand when they brought it
You should have asked for a mcfloat its like a frozen coke with ice cream (i recommend the blueberry flavour)
This was so cringe there was so many things rong😂
8:27 one thing here in nz that most people do with their frozen cokes is to drink the bottom part with all the flavouring and then eat (yes physically chew) the part with less flavouring at the top because thats where a lot of the ice clumps and it just dissolves in your mouth.
L&P gets it name from the lemon flavour...and a place called Paeroa because they originally used spring water from there to manufacture the drink. It used to be called Lemon & Paeroa but now that it's made and bottled in Auckland, they no longer use the Paeroa in the name...thus L&P
That's L&P, it stands for Lemon & Paeroa. It's our NZ made soda. I love it.
Hmm I think you can only get a kiwi burger in new Zealand/nz
They way you held that Poe breaks my heart
You gotta take the top of the pie off before eating it and you gotta put tomato sauce in it then mix it all together. Eat the insides then eat the base then the lid
If I remember correctly, MacDonald’s brought out a pie franchise in NZ called Georgie Pie, then closed all the outlets throughout the country to give themselves better consumer advantage. In doing so they breached the consumer laws here in New Zealand, so a group of NZ lawyers took McDonalds to court. So to comply with NZ law McDonalds have sell the Georgie pies on their menu. It was a victory for Kiwi’s when an American corporation got put in their place by little old nzer’s.
2 Rules about NZ Pies
1. Hit up a bakery for your pie. NZ is known for it's meats pie so you won't find a NZ pie inside Maccas lol.
2. You must always blow on the pie 😊
Georgie pie used to be a chain restaurant that specialised in baking pies. McDonald's bought out the franchise and closed it down. Many years later they they added it to the menu. Yaye...
a kiwiburger is a combination of everything we like in a burger.
You can make hokey pokey super easy! Its really fun and takes like 5 minutes.
