It's an Eastern Pennsylvania thing. Where I grew up, pot pie would have been chicken, gravy, peas, and carrots in a crust. Out in Eastylvania, pot pie is large rectangular noodles that are simmered with beef or chicken broth and meat. Quite tasty, actually. The recipe sounds pretty good forMandy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17564258055027493096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-82906203099172434042010-12-30T23:27:59.652-05:002010-12-30T23:27:59.652-05:00Quite a few years ago, my dear husband and I were ...Quite a few years ago, my dear husband and I were out yard saling.

What a wonderful find. <br /><br />More recently, we found another cookbook from the 1880s that sounds very similar to yours.

Since the chicken cannot breathe properly, it walks about with its mouth open, gaping. And yes, tobacco smoke is definitely a recommended cure.

People thought it so strange that we had a hitching post at our grocery store. But it was just the norm to us. My dad is a plumber and would barter work for the Amish in exchange for us getting to fish in their ponds. Those are wonderful childhood memories of mine.

It was then when I realized that the Amish just know how to cook and bake without every detail.
