    Im definitely going to try this version, Ive just taken a Woolton pie out of the oven made to this original 1941 recipe found on www.carrotmuseum.co.uk, the only variation of mine being the addition of 1/2 lb parsnips..its really good! Surprisingly tasty for such a simple dish and perfect for the winter but be warned, the wartime quantities make for a LOT of pie!

    Original 'Lord Wooltons Pie' 1941 recipe

    INGREDIENTS
    Take 1lb each of diced potatoes, cauliflower, swedes and carrots;
    Three or Four spring onions;
    One teaspoonful of vegetable extract and
    One tablespoonful of oatmeal.
    METHOD
    Cook all together for ten minutes with just enough water to cover.
    Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking.
    Allow to cool; put into a pie dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley and cover with a crust of potatoes or wholemeal pastry.
    Bake in a moderate oven until the pastry is nicely brown and serve hot with brown gravy.
