Unfortunately here in Australia - at least in NSW where I live - the

version. Most people would be unaware that it's supposed to be lamb.

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

I remember talking to my sis about it once, and she reckoned that it's
evolved into the beef product, so that's what it is, regardless of what
it used to be. If my mum made it, I think she probably made it with beef
- I doubt it was with leftover lamb roast as we had a leg of lamb only on
special occasions and then leftovers went on sandwiches.

When a national promotion for beef uses shepherd's pie as one of the
recipes (at least I think it was a national promotion - a couple of years
ago maybe, on telly, in magazines etc.) then what else can you expect
<g>.

Well, my mum always called it shepherd's pie, made with leftover lamb or
beef, and she was a Londoner through and through. I don't remember "cottage
pie" ever crossing her lips and - believe me, I would never have
contradicted my mum. ;-(

Once, lacking both beef and lamb, we made it with sausages -- "German
Shepherd's Pie." Not at all bad!

Now wait a minute....

Isn't Shephards pie supposed to contain Shephard ?

....and if it contained lamb, wouldn't it be "Lambie Pie" ??

( English IS confusing )

It's not. Shepherd = (sheep + hierde herdsman) and it's spelled with
a possessive s.

Its of course not about changing the product, just using the
right name shepherd/cottage. Beef and lamb pies both still exist
and always did, just a lot of people are using one name for both,
which is unhelpful.

I have seen a beef shepherds pie in the supermarket. I tried to
send a sarky email to the manufacturer, but no contact email on
website and I cant be bothered with a letter :-)
