Pot pies

I know that this thread is about store-bought pot pies, but I have to chime in. My favorite chicken pot pie is from KFC.
I get Breyers no sugar added ice cream now. It's not as good as their regular ice cream, but it passes for those watching their sugar intake. <--prchjrkr

I have to watch sugar too, like in none. I've tried the sugar free/no added, but would rather do without, and treat myself to a real ice cream on special occasions.
And one more thing about that Marie Callander "ice cream" cake. Remember Willy Wonka made an ice cream that never melted? Pretty sure he's working for Callander now. I was too lazy to throw out the piece I got earlier this evening, so I just left it on the plate. It's been sitting there for about 2 hours now and has not melted. It's gotten soft, but still looks like I just cut it. This cannot be real ice cream. Now it's a science experiment. I'm gonna leave it there and wait....
Oh, the 'whipped topping' tasted and felt just like Cool Whip. yuk. So disappointed.
That's it!
And your point is??????
In St. Georges , Bermuda on the left on the main drag just before the town is a hole in the wall called Reid's . They have great beef and chicken pot pies but the best by far was the mussel pot pie. It was to die for, if you ever happen to get there give them a try you will not be disappointed !
Describe it to me, because I'm thinking of mussels and veggies in gravy encased in pie crust, and that does not sound good at all.

I haven't had a pot pie from the store in years. Here at this house, it's pretty much homemade from leftovers, and it's always pretty damned good.
This year it had leftover turkey from one we had brined and deep fried - and my wife used the leftover DARK meat - so it was great.

I've tried a few times, but it never comes out quite right. I seem to have a problem with the gravy, too thick, too thin doesn't taste right... Pre-made pie crusts aren't the best, not flaky enough and pastry is not one of my strong points.
When you keel over, @Gilligan can tell them "it was the pot pie, I swear!"
Probably why I drink beer and avoid mixed drinks....no sugar.

Don't the carbs in beer turn into sugar after you drink it?
He drinks Corona remember.
Mussels , peas , potatoes, onions and carrots maybe a few others in a sauce smelling of saffron and turmeric salt n pepper
