BRADFORD-based Morrisons supermarket is selling a pie created by ex-servicemen from a famous Armed Forces recipe.
The Morrisons ‘Veterans Pie’, which launched this week will raise money for Walking With The Wounded and includes an original ‘range stew’ recipe served to troops in action.
Launched during Armed Forces Week to support Walking With The Wounded, 50p from the £1.10 pie will be donated to the charity which helps ex-servicemen and women transition successfully from the military to civilian life.
The official range stew recipe is a closely guarded secret but a handful of army veterans helped the supermarket recreate the army classic.
The result is the Morrisons ‘range stew’, made from 100 per cent British beef steak, smoky bacon and a glug of Theakston’s Old Peculier Ale.
Simon Flores who served with the Light Infantry and helped develop the Veterans Pie said: “Range stew is what kept us going in some tough times and we’re delighted to share it with the nation. It’s great to see such a legendary army dish raising money for Walking with the Wounded.”
The pie is available until Sunday, July 1.
