WTF? Marie Callender's messes with their famous Chicken Pot Pie recipe? DUMB!

[Gatefan1976]

One thing you have to keep in mind bud, the "supposed average person" who buys a "meat pie" with all those carbs are people with physical, outdoors jobs and they are generally had for breakfast, or a 10-11am "brunch" type deal when the eater has been working for 4 hours anyway.
The meat pie is sold and marketed as "worker food" (seeing as though you touched on marketing on your other thread), so in THIS case, the marketing is actually sorta "aimed" the right way.
Strange but true my friend

(Oh, and I'm glad you like them, try more types, the Vegie ones are really nice as well)

I have made about four trips to the Valley for these pies. I have a client rather close to there. But the second time I went they had a mushroom, cheddar and beef variety not on their product list so I bought some of those and they were good. I have been feeding them to friends I work with. And the place is nice, and they gave me a crunchie bar the last time I went.

Cheese and mushroom
Steak and mushroom
Cheese and bacon
Bacon and egg (with a *real* egg in the centre), my fave
Chicken and Cheese
Chicken and veg (a-la your pot pie here)
Vege pies

Many pies to be had my friend.

(oh, and why I mentioned *steak*, most pies are of a "mince" like filling, but steak pies really do (or should) have big chunks of beef in them instead)
In fact, there is a huge swing for "premium pies" out here ATM filled with top quality beef fillings.

Here in America it's illegal to eat "dingo" meat.

Okay, this is an old thread, but still relevant. All Marie Callender restaurants are now serving the new "Chicken Pot Pie" which is just a bowl of soup with a cracker on top. For at least a year, the FROZEN version of the pie was still a pie. It has a full crust. The picture on the box looks delicious. But I noticed something else...the much longer ingredients list and look what's in them...

Marie Callender is a lying whore. Why don't people look at the labels on their foods instead of being sucked in by the pretty pictures on the box? Who the hell has all these things they dump in the food in their kitchens? *sigh* I mean, should I go out to my local market looking for "methylcellulose gum, mono- and diglycerides, spice oleoresin turmeric"? It isnt that hard to figure out.

Dude-I could kill one of my chickens, pluck and gut it, pack it in dry ice and UPS it to you and it would still be fresher and healthier than that shit

DONT EAT PROCESSED FOODS! If you have to, then I recommend grains, canned (no salt) or frozen veggies or fruit BY THEMSELVES not in any concoction or witches brew they call "soup"

Oddly enough I was looking at one of my old French cookbooks tonight (on a whim) and glanced at the chicken pie recipe. It was much like your version and it only had like 6 ingredients to it. It's sad that such basic fare has been forgotten in our world.

Some people omit the celery and potato and the broth. But through experimentation, I have found that when I use chicken breasts alone, the pie is bland. With the broth, you get that real chicken-y taste Who would have thought, the pie I have always gone only to Marie Callender to get forced me to learn how to make my own. . I also sub out the half and half for heavy whipping cream and water. I have not tried to make the crusts and I buy prepared ones.

But Marie Callender just sold out to slick marketing and cost cutting and now they make garbage. What a shame.

Dingo meat would be better than the slop that M.C. is serving

At least Dingo meat would be real meat and not textured soy protein.
