I might make this next week it looks and sounds good, like you I won’t be putting meat in it. Thanks
When I started re-creating wartime recipes about 15 years ago, I was a meat eater so could create just about every recipe. Now I look for recipes that are veggie based or can be modified slightly. The marinated tofu worked well in this BTW xxx
Wonder if it could be because you need to “hunt” for the ingredients….?
ooooo could be! Never thought of that! xxx
My mother used to make this (I am now in my 60’s). She told me that it was called Hunt Pie because there is so little meat in it, you have to hunt for the meat. I don’t know if it’s true but mums always know best!
Looks scrummy. On next week’s menu! Thanks x
Its great if you like veggies and stodgy comfort food 🙂 Add plenty of seasoning. A thick gravy over the top would be nice too! Tomorrow I’m making a wartime desert called ‘beetroot pudding!’. xxx
Is this Marguerite Patten’s recipe? It’s one of the ones in her book that I’ve gone over many times but just haven’t got around to trying yet.
Yes it is a Ministry of Food recipe that Marguerite Patten used in the We’ll Eat Again’ book…cant wait for dinner tonight…more pie!! 🙂 xxx
Or is it a variation on a pie served during or after fox hunting?
This looks like wonderful comfort food, and it seems to typify the make do and mend approach of something lovely from humble ingredients. Just my kind of thing!
That looks and sounds delicious! I’ll definitely try it. Thanks!
That looks really yummy – definitely going to give it a go

This sounds delicious. I have put it on my Autumn menu-90F in Philadelphia for the next week or so.
