Are you talking about Monty Python? I liked some of their stuff but
found much pretty dry humor. I've never been a huge fan of them. I
liked better Benny Hill, Mr.Bean and all the very amazing music groups
that have emerged from the UK.

===============

Yes, Monty Python I always found Mr Bean and Benny Hill a bit silly
though

But as I often say, it wouldn't do for us all to like the same

If I am going to eat a store bought pot pie, I prefer Marie Calendar's
beef pie instead of the chicken. Don't know why exactly but I don't
care for the chicken one. If you're going to get some on coupon, get
one of each and see what you think.

I don't need sales and coupons... I just prepare a huge pot of stew...
I don't want any pie crust, I don't eat that part anyway.

No reason you can't have turkey, yams, and instead of stuffing have
kasha (buckwheat groats). That's what I have every year. I'm not a
pie person, I'd rather an extra Crystal Palace.
Easy peasy:

So you draw the line at calling dessert pudding when it comes to pie?

I certainly did notice the clothes washer in the kitchen. Actually, that's quite handy. I also noticed that it was capable of drying clothes too. Amazing! It also had no venting at all. Holy smokes! All American driers have venting!

I also loved your 220V power coming out of the walls. As you know, all red-blooded Americans love more power.

My wife loved the people and the landscapes. It is her fond wish to live there one day. Her people came from Ireland and Scotland so it's obvious that the land is beckoning her back.

Actually, you said it right at the top of the post I'm replying to.

I did pick up a beef version today! Also a turkey and
another chicken but don't know why I haven't tried the
beef yet but it will be devoured sometime this week.

I like a good crust.

No coupon, just regular store sale price. I'll take your advice and try
a beef one too. Also a turkey, if they have it. Those are more
flavorable than chicken in the Banquet world.

Regardless. A 16oz pie is a very filling meal to me as long as I have a
slice or two of bread with butter.

Me too! When I want beef stew, that's what I make. When I want
chicken pot pie, I make it with a single crust... if I want chicken &
dumplings, I can make that too.

I don't see that at all. I said that pies should have a top and bottom crust but conceded that a "pot pie" could have only one crust. Evidently you've mistaken "could" for "should." That's another problem with words, people always read what they want to believe. Your obsession with the definition of "pot pie" is kinda creeping me out. Please cease and desist.

I certainly did notice the clothes washer in the kitchen. Actually, that's
quite handy. I also noticed that it was capable of drying clothes too.
Amazing! It also had no venting at all. Holy smokes! All American driers
have venting!

I also loved your 220V power coming out of the walls. As you know, all
red-blooded Americans love more power.

My wife loved the people and the landscapes. It is her fond wish to live
there one day. Her people came from Ireland and Scotland so it's obvious
that the land is beckoning her back.
===================

I think she ought to have her wish, but it has to be Scotland of course ;-)

Looks to me like you said "should". Right there in the first line
that I copied and pasted from the top of this post.

I make the old Betty Crocker recipe of apple pie.
Only once every 2-3 years though.
If I make one, that's ALL I'll eat until it's gone.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. heheh
This is why I don't make them. I have no self control with
homemade apple pie.

Occasionally, a friend will bake me one for my birthday.
Again...that's all I'll eat that day. Not only that, I'll
usually eat the whole thing in a day. Not good.

The only time I made a bad one is the one time I used those
damn bitter Granny Smith apples. I didn't like it.
I should have doubled the sugar in that one.
I always use Red Delicious.

although I said the other day that I really didn't care for crust, a
pot pie must have a crust. I love that combination of crust and gravy
and filling. mmmmm-mmmmm

Perhaps a Nesselrode pie.

Yet another great reason to bake yer own!

Most of today's frozen pot pies now have fully encasing crusts. Cheap
filler is what they really are. Baking yer own give you a choice.

Absolutely, bake your own. Ever since the frozen pot pie people made a
crust that could be done in the microwave and not use an aluminum pan,
the crust has been truly dreadful.

Of course I don't. We say

Q "What's for pudding?"
A "Apple pie and custard".

Don't make me laugh. Just look at this thread, Cheri, and count how
many Americans can make a pie. All Americans do is open a can of
filling, add ready made, ready rolled pastry, serve it with some ersatz
spray foam crap then say you'd rather buy one ready made by Swansons.
No wonder you've all got soggy bottoms.
