my cooking is generally pretty good
because i only ever do things like stir-fried vegetables or basics like shep pie/lasagne, so it's hard to fuck up.

but as a penniless student i once lived for about 3 days on sliced white bread sprinkled with herbs and salt. how fucking disgusting is that?!

probably nicer than the abortion that you call a "vegetarian" shepherds pie

this is where you are wrong, my undressed monkey friend
firstly, i cook it with meat for my dad/brothers etc.

secondly, when i cook it for myself, i tend to use lots of spicy vegetables. it's GOOD!

But, that's not shpherds pie, it's just a bunch of vegetables with mash on top
it would be 'arable farmers' pie really

it's fucking fit, is what it is
i also like bachelors bean feast shepherds pie, but i have to watch whom i cook that for - it gave my friend cc such dreadful stinking wind that she farted herself sick and had to take the next day off work because she was so scared of doing it in the office. she couldn't escape the reek that followed her around all day though.

when made with beef it's a "cottage pie"
and don't let Darth tell you otherwise
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 13 Feb 2012, 14:02, Reply)

oh is that the difference?
i thought the difference was that there are carrots in a cottage pie.

this is NOT a euphemism for darth's cock.

Lamb = shepherds pie
Beef = cottage pie
vegetables = not pie at all but a sorry excuse for food that shouldn't even be fed to those skinny starving donkeys in the middle East, you know, with the bent backs and long toenails, they would refuse it.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 13 Feb 2012, 14:08, Reply)

Actually
Lamb/Mashed Potato = Shepard's Pie (Mash = Fluffy like a sheep)

Beef/Sliced Potato = Cottage Pie (Slices like roof tiles on a cottage).

Sadly i think I learnt that from Coronation Street.

It's still beef for cottage and lamb for shepherd though.
I wouldn't argue that changing the nature of the potato on top makes no difference.

That said, I would say lamb "pie" with sliced potato on is scouse.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 13 Feb 2012, 14:24, Reply)

It is, yes.
All we are missing now then, is the proper name for the beef/mash combo.

Unless that's hot pot.

I just googled 'Coronation Street Cast' to find out where I heard the Cottage Pie thing from.

She may have been in Tenko.

I've just let a joke get out of hand.

For the record, I have no strong opinions on the correct type of potato for either a Cottage or Shepard's pie.

Well, clearly that has to be very small boiled potatoes to look like fish eggs.
