What is wooton pie?!


Question:

What is wooton pie?


Answers:
Do you mean woolton pie? If so, "Woolton" pie was an adaptable dish of vegetables, created at the Savoy Hotel in London, which was one of a number of recipes commended to the British public by the Ministry of Food during the Second World War to enable a nutritional diet to be maintained despite shortages and rationing of many types of food. It was named after Frederick Marquis, 1st Lord Woolton (1883-1964), who became Minister of Food in 1940.

The recipe involved dicing and cooking potatoes (or parsnips), cauliflower, swede (known as turnip or neeps in Scotland and northern England), carrots and, possibly, turnip (conversely known as swede in Scotland). Rolled oats and chopped spring onions were added to the thickened vegetable water which was poured over the vegetables themselves. The dish was topped with potato pastry and grated cheese and served with brown gravy. The recipe could be adapted to reflect the availability of ingredients.
