Homity pie
Type	Savoury pie
Place of origin	Great Britain

Homity pie is a traditional British open vegetable pie. The pastry case contains a filling of potatoes and an onion and leek mixture, which is then covered with cheese.^[1]

There is little known on the exact history of the dish. Some^[who?] call it 'Devon Pie', believing it to be an English country recipe originating from Devon. Its origins are also claimed to date back to the Women's Land Army of the Second World War and the restrictions imposed by wartime rationing.^[2] What is known however is that the dish's mainstream popularity came from Cranks Vegetarian Restaurant, which opened in London in 1961, when vegetarianism gained support from the hippie subculture.^[3]
