Good morning people, and the rest of you too.
Single serving frozen "Pot Pies" here come in two varieties:
1 - Low end: Typically with top crust only, but not always. Only available in Beef, Chicken and sometimes Turkey. Usually less than $1.00/ea (USD) and sometimes 2 or 3 for $1.00 (USD). The box pictures lie, a little bit, regarding the amount of filling.
2 - High End - Top and bottom crust, larger size, better quality and more variety. Starting at $2.50/ea but typically around $3.50/ea.

If I'm honest they all look pretty terrible and artificial looking.
I'll add that I know the pictures are not representative of the end result but they hardly make them look appetising.

Well how else do you get pastry? Out of a coconut?
And...flaky suggests puff pastry- I'm seeing shortcrust there.
Melt in the mouth shortcrust is a thing of joy. Embrace its buttery form.
Sorry but Rubbernuke is the only one allowed to post cursed images on this thread.
Just because I'm Scotch you think I batter all my food!!!
Short crust is basically shortbread without the sugar!
There I said it no regrets #teampuffpastry2021!
Well, in order to make and sell something at a profit, they have to cut corners somewhere, hence why these pies are round and not square.
And how is that bad? Wrap it around stuff and get masticating old boy
Those are some beautiful words there @Rubbernuke whoever wrote them needs to write for Clinton cards.
Batman quotes work for everything
I'm a keen masticater but if I want a pie then I go for puff pastry all the way.
While I love puff pastry, if I'm in a hurry shortcrust is the way to go for a lot of things (pasties, quiche, pies)- especially so since I can use cheaper margarine as the fat (which would be impossible in puff which is chilled butter all the way, resting and re rolling).
I even like a soggy bottom!
