| I hope that the marmite and vegetable water wasn't wasted down the sink! It would make for a marvellous start to a good stock.

| Used this with whole class, using individual tinfoil pie dishes (not authentic but needed to be transportable). They loved it. Easy to do and follow (Year 6 class). Definitely use again next time doing WW2. Thank you for your comment, we are always interested in how schools are using the resources. Your class might like to add their own comments to Woolton Pie too. The Cookit Team

I eat this a lot, it's tasty good and cheap.
Just in case no one knew you can keep the water the vegetables have been cooked in to make your gravy with. The marmite and vegetable water makes really tasty gravy - I like to make a lot and make it thick. Go easy on adding salt as there's marmite seasoning there allready. The oats slightly thicken the water too, especially if you put half a cup in like I do, so in theory you can get away with less flour in your gravy. If you really want to live like the 1940s make your gravy with olive oil to save using any more butter or lard and don't tell anyone! Back then olive oil was for earache or suntans.

| There are several versions of the recipe (mostly different toppings) but all are delicious and nutrious. Don't forget that the health of the nation vastly improved during the war years so they did something right !!

| I decided to give this recipe a try-but as I am dieting, make it without the pastry. I cook diced potato, carrots, turnip, onion together in a little water and add peas, corn and some chick peas or navy beans to add protein. Instead of pastry I top it with mashed potatoes to which I have added some blue cheese or sharp cheddar cheese. I season the vegetables according to my mood, so it is varied. My husband (who was a baby in London during the war) and I love it and serve it frequently

Excellent & it was all about serving healthy, fresh, seasonal filling food during rationing. Preferably if you could grow it yourself.
The concept of vegetarian was not on the agenda. Meat was so strictly rationed people did without, not to be a "vegetarian". All you need to do to comply in the 21st century is change to vegetable fat. Easy! Yes I am a vegetarian but this is history.
