- The Woolton Pie was inspired by Lord Woolton Minister of Food for World War 2. The premise of using what you have and making cheap meals that fill you and are warming, is still important now as it was then.
When making this pie just use what you have to make a tasty meal.
I hope you enjoy the video and let me know if you try it out.
There was the "HOOVER SOUP" in the 1930s
Going to go and look this up. 👌
I haven't heard of Wooton pie before, it does look tasty though. It must have been very hard in the war years to put a meal together with all of the shortages and rationing but it looks like some good recipes came out of it.
Hi Narelle, I think looking through recipes it makes me think more about just using what you have and making sure nothing gets wasted. Definately some interesting recipes.
This vid popped up in my feed. Glad it did! New sub. I've been looking for recipes to bring down my grocery bill. This one really fits the bill. It looks delish. Can't wait to try it. Now I will have to check out your other vids. Thanks for sharing.
@kaycee18 thanks for watching I hope you enjoy the other videos 😊
My Nan use to make potato pastry I find it really enjoyable
I'd never had i before i found it really tasty.
Ready Brek or store brand alternative is a great instant thickening. It really is instant and no lumps!
Never thought if that, I suppose I would blend down normal oats as well so less lumpy 🤔🤔
I’ve stopped going to the main charity shops in the US. It’s goodwill charging upwards of 567 dollars for dollar store items but they also are under paying there is disabled employees. There was recently a story in which they were blind employees making only two dollars an hour.
Wow that's shocking about the wages, most of our shops are run by volunteers. But I have noticed prices going up, I won't use Oxfam at all, too much new stuff and ridiculous prices.
Just making this but with mash spud pastry
Sounds good 👍
I would eat that any day.good vid
Thanks Jack
I have made Lord Woolton pie often. A dish I make regularly is potato and carrot roll served with a green vegetable like sprouts ( in season ).
Oooh sounds good, do you have a recipe please 🙏 😋
@@tryingtogetby Utility Jude demonstrates it on her YT video and that's where I was inspired . I will have a look at my wartime books and let you know which one it's in.🙂
Yes I have madeLord Woolton pie before ,but from a recipe in a Woman magazine from 1980. Slightly different ingredients and no potatoes in the pastry and a parsley sauce poured into the top of the pie when finished cooking. Tasted delish and looked very posh. But yours looked nicer and I guess it tasted as good as it looked.
I have to say I really enjoyed the mash in the pastry and will use that again. The whole.pie tasted great. 😋
Just found you today.!!!!! Wow your pie looks amazing. Certainly going to try it. Have subscribed so looking forward to more of your cooking. Oh on the subject of charity shops, yes I have found the bigger shops really expensive too. Take care 💗
Hi Joan, thanks for joining me. The pie was so good we had a portion left so in the freezer it went. Looking forward to having it again.
This looks yum gonna give it a try myself xx
Was definitely yum. 👌
That looks great . Is this from the wartime cookbook?
My mum used to make Mock goose! Fried onions and tomatoes till cooked and soft , with grated cheese stirred through whilst hot , then add an egg , mix through to cook and leave aside to get cold. This is fabulous on toast , crackers or on sandwiches , she used to use whatever scraps of cheese we had leftover.
Yes it's a Marguerite Patten wartime book. The mock goose sounds good I think I have seen it in this book.
I heard about Wooton pie and never known how to make it - very interesting - especially the potato pastry - I presume this meant you/ one could use less fat ( which was rationed at the time). Thank you.
The pastry was really good, it did seem to use less fat.
looks so good, i've made potato pastry before will have to search for recipe book, mine starts with mash and adds flour to bind but yours is good as could use left overs.
I try and use up leftovers as much as possible. There's often little bits in the freezer, eventually I will get a whole meal out of them.
It's supposed to be a Christmas one but a mock turkey but the vegetarian one as some recipes have minced meat in, I made this as part of out Christmas Dinner one year, great fun, we had some vegetarian round for dinner, it was really nice, the Woolton pie I made before had mash on top, again different areas prob have different versions x
Yes I have seen the mash top, the pastry was so yummy I was glad I stuck to this recipe. 😋
@@tryingtogetby I think I might have to try the pastry recipe way, didn't know until your video this was a thing x
Where are you finding the 40’s recipes?
I have a book by Marguerite Patten about wartime cookery. It is a collection of the leaflets that were given out during the war by the Ministry of Food. It's an interesting read.
Not necessarily authentic but Red lentils added to the veg when simmering would thicken and add protein.
Great idea.
