Another writer on Medium, Judy Haratz Cohen, wrote about Chicken Pot Pies, and after reading some of the replies, I woke up the other morning and thought of writing more on this one.

Yes, I remember when my mom was busy, sometimes one of these was put down for dinner, and at times while watching TV! Oh, the horror….LOLOL.

And Judy, this video is for you!

Nope, pot pies are great still, but I prefer to make my own. That way I can control what goes in, and NO garbage!

But pot pies are more than just the chicken pot pie, one can also use leftover turkey, or even roast beef, and lamb.

There are also some wonderful recipes for the Pork Pies like Jamie Oliver does. My wife likes this one!

Also, one that we like is a veggie pot pie.

Also, we love to make a Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie, and here is a recipe from Sunset Magazine.

You can also use turkey, roast beef, or lamb, or even a veggie one!

And at times when we are in our country home, which is about 6–7 months of the year, we do use store-bought pie dough or puff pastry.

I think or maybe an assumption, that most countries have some sort of savory pie, and we have tried a few. This is from Ostrali.com and a list of twenty-some pies.

Here in Finland, we have what is called Kalakukko, or Fish Pie

All are good, and fun to eat. So have some fun, make one and sit down with family and or friends and enjoy a savory pie!

Oh, and Judy Haratz Cohen, thank you for the idea. I had fun writing this one!
