I think I mentioned that a couple of weeks ago I wanted a pot pie real
bad. This, after some 10 years or so without one. We got one at
regionally significant Polly's Pies. It sucked SO very large. Crust was
fine but the contents were dried-out, overcooked, tasted of nothing in
particular except a little too much salt.

I've heard folks speak lovingly of Marie Callender's food, but most of
it seems to have been distant memories from the 70's. I've never been.
I loved those frozen pot pies when I was a kid. I bet I'd hate them now.

There is the regionally important La Palma Chicken Pie Shop run by the
same crew since the 50's. Hungarian, I think. Everything there is not
particularly good--except the pot pies.
