Higgidy Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie

7 September 2012

I’m not sure of the wisdom of including the word POT in the pie description, as it very often has negative connotations in the pie world. A pie should not be made in a pot, it should be made in pastry! It is also puff pastry, which I invariably find to be a (literal) waste of space but redeemed somewhat with a pastry love heart on top. Perfectly edible with the hands although the pastry is unwieldy and flies off everywhere. The packaging is excellent, full of words of wisdom and a cute tray complete with recycling message and warming statements about the chicken and ham - raised on RSPCA approved farms apparently. Great news just as I'm just about to eat the little buggers. The pie is packed full of goodness: meat, veg all encapsulated in a rich, creamy sauce. A truly lush and satisfying affair
