unless it has sheep in it is not a shepherd's pie

What if it was a cheese and onion pie owned by a person who tends and rears sheep?

then it's a shepherd's cheese and onion pie
but if he gives it to a non-shepherd it's just a cheese and onion pie.

You have to appreciate the distinction between ownership and nomenclature.

I can appreciate that, if you can appreciate the distinction between nomenclature and folk etymology.

Does folk etymology mean lentils?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 6 Jun 2014, 10:54, Reply)
It means that Shepherd's Pie having to contain mutton is a relatively recent definition.

This is quite interesting
it seems a version made with lentils would be known as a "shepherdless pie".

I'd probably just call it a lentil pie

Yup.

if it doesn't contain peasants it's not a cottage pie

Peasants dont live in cottages these days.
