Well, the only version I've read is a kids version, but I remember that the
martians
kept grabbing humans and taking them the their CIGAR SHAPED MOTHER SHIP (hint
hint).

I don't remember a mother ship...I think each pod was part of the
landing ship itself, and each ship was about big enough to carry the
pilots, the pod(or a few pods?) and some additional parts to make it a
walking machine. There were a lot of them, but they landed separately in
a fairly widespread area. No mother ship was mentioned...and I don't
think any of them left the planet's surface again after landing, so the
mother ship couldn't have been in orbit.
They seemed more intent on exterminating the life in the area(and
replacing it with Martian life forms like the red weed) than in
conquering or taking prisoners. And I don't recall anything about using
humans as food!?!
I think the only time they grabbed someone is when they first landed and
a crowd formed...someone got too close, got grabbed and pulled into the
crater formed by the landing(and I think he was immediately killed), and
soon after a mirror popped up and the heat ray was used to incinerate a
bunch of people.
Are you sure it was War of the Worlds that you read, and that you aren't
remembering some other book? Of course, it could be my memory, I haven't
read it for a while...I should read it again soon.

I don't even have a copy-I read it while I was visiting at our
grandparents' house. :-)

As I recall, at least in the original book, the martians came out of what
could be described as artillery shells that were fired at the Earth from
Mars. One end unscrewed to serve as the door and a heat ray was used to
"sanitize" the area before the martians came out.
