My wife makes a very tasty one and she puts a tin of Campbell's Condensed Chicken Soup in it.

The big question is do you make a real pie with 360 pastry or just put a top on it.
My son just introduced me to a nice one with a honey and dion plus the mushrooms and carrots.
I will have to fix the oven before I can make it on the boat.

You'd have a much much better tasting pie if you used thighs or legs rather then dry, flavourless breast.
Poignard's suggestion is 100% for ease on board. Mushroom soup will work well if you take my suggesion above and already have chicken flavour present...
360' pastry is nice but a faff on board. Why bother? Just a top does fine. Oven baked suet pastry crust is even better.
Bitta bacon lardons too perhaps?

Through an oversight I posted in the wrongforum but I am on land .I looked at thighs(chicken) butit seemed a bit of a faff .. although per kilo they were cheaper anyway I bought two breasts ,one will do for a small pie the other frozen as my dear heart is a vegitarian.

It sounds like excellent boat food and when I read it I had a vision of my wife and I sitting down to a hearty meal in the warmth of the cabin while it is chucking it down outside.

+1 for the thighs or legs. I would also add some chorizo ( and it's not pronounced "cho-rit-zo" ?).

Correct pronunciation: Th-th-th-th-sausage.

I often do a chicken stew and the first bits in are the chorizo slices, then the onion, followed by the whole chicken, chopped up. Big tin of tomatoes and a decent amount of cumin, some stock and ground pepper. Alt is red pepper instead of tomatoes, then cream, just before serving.
When off grid, I would cook it up in the morning and put it in an insulated chest (straw box). Come the evening, it was well done, just needed a little heat before serving.
Day two, chuck some noodles in and maybe a little more stock.
Fancy version is thighs and legs.
Know as my 'Bachelor Stew' It was a staple before I got hitched.

Edit: If pastry matters, Mary Berry's Spinach and Mushroom en croute is very good suit Wandsworth's veggy other half.

Queue the joke about the little girl with a lisp, who called her dog 'Porky'....

Let's have it then

Forget the fine detail, but an old gentleman asked her about her little dog. She told him it's name, so he asked her if it was because the dog was a bit plump.
No, she said, it because he f**ks pigs. All in a 'little girl' lisp.
You did ask..

Maybe not in your house, but a large part of Spain pronounce it that way, and it's their sausage!

I beg to differ. If they were Italian they might pronounce 'Z' as ''-ts-" , but in Spain the Northern Spaniards do it with a lisp, whereas in the South, in the Canaries and in the Hispanophone countries of South America, i.e. most of them, they pronounce the 'Z' exactly the same as we do. Not a 'ts' in earshot! Eso es el verdad!

Chicken pie eatern…..excellent though I do say so myself?

Ok thanks, I’ll tell all my Spanish friends and colleagues you said so.

I always try to include the word "mucho" when speaking to Spanish people.

It means a lot to them.
