Shepherds' pie
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. Shepherd > sheep > shepherds' pie. Cowherd > beef > cottage pie. No, no one knows why its "cottage", should have been "cowherd/cowboy pie". Perhaps the mash looks like thatch? I have even created a page to try and help put things right:- "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk/londonfood3.htm" 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. If you have been, thanks for listening. -- 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" |

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 :) Jill |

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. >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>.
