Pot pie, no not that pot (Brit)

Chicken pot pie is a favorite of mine, and there are a few different store bought ones that are good. The Marie Calender brand pies vary in quality. The small ones can be good, or they can be bad. I like them to have more than 3 tiny chunks of meat in them, so as a rule the large ones are good. The Claim Jumper brand seem to be consistantly good, and if cooked well, are delicious. I have gone into the Marie Calender resturant before and ordered a chicken pot pie, and hated it. The frozen store bought ones are an entire pie, with a crust around the whole filling. At the resturant, when you order the pie, you get a white ceramic bowl with what amounts to a bowl of soup, with a layer of crust across the top. I enjoy the top crust and the bottom crust more than the filling and that makes the resturant pie a dissapointment.
