When I checked outside my door this morning, I found the bag of six Small Comfort pies I'd ordered.
I tried the roasted vegetable one for lunch today:
With pot pies, the pastry may make all the difference. Now, the veg filling was excellent: some tooth to the carrots, which were not overdone but rather cooked pretty much perfectly for pie filling, nice to have cauliflower in there, perhaps a few too many potatoes, and would have liked peas, but these are quibbles. Many of the fake pot pies (casseroles with pastry disks on top) have decent enough filling, but the pie portion of this Small Comfort offering was what made it such a fine lunch. Flaky, tender and nostalgically (and I'm guessing unavoidably) soggy with deliciousness on the bottom, this is a very good pot pie.
Now, if only we had a little more winter so I could have the pleasure of eating a steaming pie while the snow flies.
