Welcome back to What’s For Tea :) Tonight for tea I made Homity pie! This open pie has its origins during World War II. The history dates back to the efforts of the land girls of the Second World War and the restrictions imposed on rationing. However, the origin of the name of this dish is unknown. It is believed that Homity pie is a local name made up by the people in Britain. This word doesn’t have a meaning in old and modern English.

Relatively cheap to make, very simple to produce and a wonderful combination of flavours and textures….we just loved it.

As usual everything I used will be listed below incase you want to give it a go.

Thanks for stopping by and until I see you next, take care x
