thank you, that was genuinely hilarious. underrated joke!

For several years we had a canning business where we took the seconds from local small farmers to make a variety of products. Reduced food waste, gave the farmers another income stream, and have summer veggies all year long.

As a vegan I really appreciate videos like this Glen! You've taught me a lot about cooking but naturally I have to make alterations to your dishes. It's always nice to see chefs teach people that you don't need animal products in every meal for it to be healthy and tasty :)

Seems like the extra filling could get topped with mashed potatoes and baked that way 🤷‍♀️

Love how Julie stands poised, fork in hand, ready to dive in. Glen’s recettes are wonderful, but watching both of you eat and critique makes these videos. Onward!

I love these "method" videos Glen! Thanks! These help me a lot with making good stuff for the family.

Supermarkets near me no longer have the display of past perfect produce, they donate all of it to food charities, soup kitchens, etc. Same with day-old bakery. I miss that! It saved me lots of money, but I'm OK with it if it goes to someone who needs it.

I love how excited Jules looked when you said what you were making.

As a vegan who loves your channel, thank you! I'd probably add potatoes into the mix, might bind it together a little better. I use Marmite in my savory cooking all the time! Definitely gives that meaty umami experience that I love. As for not putting marmite on toast? SHOTS FIRED! How dare you sir! Marmite on toast is so so good! lol

I suspect that most people who dislike marmite on toast simply use too much. Use a very light spreading to produce a wafer thin layer and then it gives a salty flavouring, not an assault on the taste buds. Do not spread it like jam or peanut butter!!!

Somehow I love it that they make Rice Krispies Treats with some frequency.

This show makes me happy. You cook like I cook. I almost never use recipes, and if I do, it is simply to get an idea of the seasonings, cooking temperatures, and general portions. This would be a great base for a deep Cajun seasoning as well--green peppers, onions, celery, black-eyed peas and maybe tasso ham...oof.

Some barley would be a nice touch in this one. Looks good!

excellent glen! observing your resourcefulness has made my own cooking much better.

I love Marmite on toast, with loads of butter. Also great with a fried egg on top.

And here's another way, with a poached egg on the toast with Marmite or vegemite. I had a Dutch workmate in Australia tell me it was the best combination. I was disbelieving till I tried it and years later, still love it. Give it a go!

Shitaki mushrooms have natural inferon so those are always good to have in a mix of mushrooms. It may be a bit eaiser to add the salt earlier, because that will help to remove moisture from the mushrooms, and it helps to do that with the carrots, onions and celery. If anyone likes morels, there is a great video here where a guy took the ends and put in some soil material to grow the mycelium and then mixed it in a good amount of water and watered areas in his yard. The next year he got tons of morels.

I can recommend a Yorkshire version of Worcestershire Sauce: Henderson's Relish, that is both tastier than regular Worcestershire sauce AND vegetarian! I also need to go order some Marmite asap, I ran out a while ago but it's now urgent I get some.

I am an Aussie living in the US and I’ve found I can buy Vegemite on Amazon !!! About twice the price as in Oz but cheaper than a flight home 😂

In Australia, the land of the meat pie, nearly all pies use mince. So to veganise it, I just sub it for TVP. All other ingredients stay the same. Perfect alternative. The best pie I make though has mince seasoned for nachos or tacos, refried beans, salsa and “cheese” sauce. It’s nachos in a pie.

I love Superstore too. When I can do it, I love to do a mix of mushrooms. I know that I've made the same comment before, but dried mushrooms add a lot too. I always have at least some dried Shiitake Mushroom in the pantry. King Oyster mushrooms are another fresh mushroom that I buy a lot.

Great job, Glen! Perfectly presented per usual. Thank you!

Great video as always! Would like to see some more Vegan/Vegetarian options (meat substitutes) in the future!

Thank you for dropping a link to this video in a more contemporary one's comments. I am really considering making this, but with store bought pie dough. Who am I kidding, I'll look for as many shortcuts as I can. 😁😇🤤🤗

Thank you both for always being so marvelous and evaluating and describing flavors so well. I’m so glad I found your videos on Facebook and then moved over to KZread subscription.

Hint, Cut both ends out of the tomato paste can, slide the top lid sideways to clean it off and push the bottom lid through to the top. Normally you waste very little tomato paste and a minimal amount of mess... It also makes it very easy to crush the can and makes the recycling bag last a lot longer...

In the US we do not have a imperfect sections for fruits and vegetables that are not pleasing to the eye but still perfectly good wish they did because those vegetables and fruits are perfectly fine but they are then tossed and you know once they're tossed you know where they go it's such a wasteful thing...so glad that some of your markets have this option.!

Totally gotta try this. They look phenomenal!

Yay, love to see a veggie recipe/dish 💜

Lovely! Thank you

This looks amazing!

You did good! Looks wonderful!

“Now you’re gonna have to write out the recipe.” “Now I have to sit down and think about what I did, and write it out.” At least you recorded it! How many of you home cooks have approximations of what you actually did written out ‘cause someone said to write it out? I’ve got several, some closer to what I actually did that worked than others. Sometimes it’s just lightening in a bottle. And I salute you, Glen, on behalf of home cooks everywhere, and your willingness to wing it on camera. 👍🙏

That looks really good. I'm a vegetarian, and I think the original meat pie would also work with something like textured vegetable protein (TVP) in place of the meat. Make sure to flavour the TVP well. And thanks for making me laugh a couple times: I needed it.

Looks yummy!

Love the little individual pies! Must try the steak and mushroom version but the mushroom and legume sound interesting. I don't have access to the "less than perfect" produce section but that's a great idea. Less food waste and if you're chopping it all up I don't think anyone would be the wiser when serving it at the table. Love your KZread Channel.

Thanks! I've been looking for more vegetarian/primarily vegetarian recipes to stick into my routine. Very interested to try this. I'm thinking lentils would do if you aren't a bean fan....Or at least part lentils. Lots of room for experimentation.

Great inspiration for a vegetarian pie . . . I'd think rinse the canned beans in a colander with some cold water before using to reduce the salt.

Please share with us your exercise/health tips and routines. Y’all both look fantastic after all that delicious food.

Marmite on cheese on toast is amazing! I love marmite.

We have a serious problem when it comes to food. The imperfect is just has perfect has the photo-ready food. I love being able to take something someone might turn their nose up and make into something they would never know. Hunger is the best influencer of all time.

This is my type of cooking because that's what happens a lot. I want to use what flavors I think goes with whatever I'm cooking. And that's why I'm trying to build my seasoning storage and have many spices and herbs and such.

All our cattle is grass-fed, so there’s no chance of prion-contaminated cattle feed here.

You mentioned not eating Marmite on toast. I wouldn't have done that either, until I tried just a very small amount with a large amount of (good) butter applied beforehand to the toast. I had just a touch on a fresh bagel on a cold day in Seattle once which has stuck in my memory.

Glen your crusts always look great, I'll take thick over pretty any day. Best part of a pie 🤗

My gran in his wisdom used to marmite the beef joint before cooking that was the only redeeming feature of a whole lifetime and my only positive memory of her/him.

I would love it if our local grocery stores would have the naturally imperfect veg available for purchase.

small tip, add some water in the almost empty can of tomato sauce to fully clean it out and add it to the stew, also thyme goes really well with mushrooms and beans

I very much enjoy beef (ribeye, cooked over charcoal is my favorite), but my go-to non-meat option always involves mushrooms for the satiation/umami and beans for the full/satisfied feeling.

I would definitely eat this pie. Everything I Iike.

Some philosopjical things being discussed there :-). I noted that you mentions "homemade Worcester Sauce". Interesting although a bottle lasts me quite a while. I have no idea why Marmite still makes it because I have a jar from which I use a smear on toast now and then and it may be past on in my will. This certainly looked interesting. I have the opposite philisophical problem to you in that I have four individual pie dishes. I will solve the conumdrum.

This will fit right into our meal planning. We have been eating more meatless meals.

I get those mushrooms for my stock! "Naturally Imperfect" just looks like real food! 😂 So weird to think of all the work that goes into growing something only to discard it becasue it looks natural.

Mushroom Soy supports the mushroom flavour (obviously) and adds a wonderful savoury taste!

Marmite on toast is the best thing ever!

To that end, I wonder if a Mushroom "Tortiere" could work...

Similar to Mushroom Wellington, which adds cheese and spinach instead.

No meat on Friday - dont worry, my boi Glenn got me covered

Marmite is lovely if you don't slather it on bread or toast because it would be far too strong and not nice. Smear it sparingly over grilled cheese on toast and it is fab. Always use it for the base of gravies and sauces.

Oh Glen, now you're going to need to show us how you make the butter for those rice crispy squares. 😉

That is the most beautiful jar of marmite I've ever seen. All the grocery stores have been out since the start of the pandemic :(

I would add some cubed potatoes, Red Door Asian fish sauce. and a bit of Pick-A-Pepper sauce.

Marmite in NZ and Australia has a different consistency to that on the video - I'm guessing a different taste too. Vegemite is at really good alternative - and preferred by many.

I'd toss green pepper in the mix too. Then again, I live around Louisiana.

My circular cycle is eggs, mayo, mustard and bread for egg salad sandwiches.

Also frozen lima or butter beans might work.

Just recently Iearned, never add oil or butter to mushrooms when your cooking them in a frying pan. Without..they soften, caramelize into a deeper favour. Then afterwards..add wine or butter.

I’ll bet it was still tasty!
