I recently Googled "Shepherds pie" and was dismayed to find the first few recipes were made from beef. Now I know food words vary across the Atlantic more than most other things, but a shepherds pie with beef is absurd. Thats cottage pie. Cottage pie is anything covered in mash, well, not fish obviously.
Please help me in my quest to stamp out this evil, evil habit by putting people right when you come across it. Shed blood if you have to, its a noble cause.

Shepherd > sheep > shepherds' pie.
Absolutely! Lamb or mutton with a top crust! Steak & kidney pie is also... steak & kidneys with a top crust.
'tis why I call my turkey cottage pie, turkey cottage pie. Mashed potatoes on the top. Doesn't mean it's not good, though 🙂

indeed, as I understand it, cottage pie is whatever you want to put in it, within reason. Rice or polenta would be rather gauche though. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" <-- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" <-- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap Photos of both "http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk"

Absolutely no rice or polenta in cottage pie. Ground beef or ground pork, even ground lamb 🙂 Peas and carrots. Rice? Huh... why rice with mashed potatoes as a topping?

Call it anything you like , just don't call me late for supper.
Stranger is the French Canadien name for it (it is Shepard's Pie to the English Canadians) - Pate Chinois ... Chinese Pie. Just what is Chinese about it I could never figure out. The ingredients certainly aren't and even the concpet of a large pie is does not seem ery "Chinese" to me.
As to the shepard - why eat your sheep when you can get one of those dumb ol' cows to mince into a pie ???? :-) All chopped up and covered in taties, the cowherd wil be none the wiser.

Be glad it was meat, at least. Evidently, there are shepherds tending lentils somewhere, as I've seen several "shepherd's" pie recipes that are made of lentils and no meat at all. I've seen a fisherman's pie before, made with fish.

No, no one knows why its "cottage", should have been "cowherd/cowboy pie". Perhaps the mash looks like thatch?

LOL. Mike, the shepherd's pie/cottage pie discussion has been held here any number of times but I admit the goof still occurs. I even have an Irish recipe calling it shepherd's pie but made with beef! I won't disclose the author in case he gets beheaded.

Oh chris you MUST know the difference????
Unfortunately here in Australia - at least in NSW where I live - the name "shepherd's pie" has also come to be associated with the beef version. Most people would be unaware that it's supposed to be lamb.

same here in SA Rhonda,
though a few people, when I asked them what they thought its origin was, admitted that it "used" to be made with leftover lamb roast lol

an Irishman should know better, yes, I knew it comes up from time to time but this time I decided to set up a webpage and try and get near the top of the ranking to spread light and understanding to the ignorant world, such is my mission. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" <-- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" <-- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap Photos of both "http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk"
