You can't make a veggie Shepherds Pie. It can't be called Sheperds Pie without lamb, shurely?

i had it with beef. that was nice too. much as i loathe meat and always have, i didn't mind mince.

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.

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.

No, that's cottage pie!
hot pot has sliced potato on top

Some actress.

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

She may have been in Tenko.

It wouldn't,
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.

So which type do you advocate for a fish pie?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 13 Feb 2012, 14:42, Reply)

Well, clearly that has to be very small boiled potatoes to look like fish eggs.
This one I feel very strongly about.
