I wanted to make this on the Tour, but couldn't find marmite or vegemite. Finally, I found some. This was an excellent dinner. I didn't have individual little pie shells, so I put everything in a round glass casserole. The bottom crust didn't get done. Also, I think I will cut the BBQ sauce in half next time. The marmite added a wonderful depth.

wonderful meat pies, had one for dinner and suspect i will be having a second for snack tonight! pneuma is right you can't taste the marmite (after someone mentioned it i discovered my brit neighbor had a small amount left in a jar.. peeewww lol but it let me make this). The flavors all blend so well, easy to make and love the idea of two different pastries.
