It's National Pot Pie Day in the U.S.

[Morning Glory]

Polvorosa de Pollo". That translates as " Crumbly Chicken Pie". There's pastry on the top and on the bottom, but the pastry is made with egg yolks and has sugar added to it. It's more like a crumble, in some ways. The filling is complicated to make because there are several steps, but it's really tasty. I'd imagine that the origin has a lot of Spanish influence, because there are olives, raisins,wine and capers in the mixture.
It's been a while since I made one, so let me see if I can conjure one up this week.

Sounds delicious. I love raisins with capers.

I loved raisins as a kid, but now I hate them -- no idea why. I know I couldn't handle a savory dish with raisins.

Never had picadillo? Most likely, it had some kind of raisins in it.

I've only had Mexican picadillo here in Texas, and there has never been raisins in them.

I agree - Mexican picadillo doesn't have raisins in it. In other Latin American countries, you'd probably find raisins, maybe olives, maybe capers; Spanish influence. I'm relieved that real Mexican cuisine stuck to it roots, as far as possible.
