my mate and i are arguing over sheppards/cottage pie
i said you can only call it shepards pie when it is made with lamb, but he won't listen and says you can call it shepards pie with what ever meat is in it and i am trying to tell him that if its not lamb its then a cottage pie.

Your mate is wrong. Sheppards Pie is for lamb. Cottage is for other meats.

I don't know if this will help settle an arguement but my Family has enjoyed Sheppards Pie for a Long time. And in our case, it has always been made with Lamb in it. And Please stop arguing, it's not good for you 2. Smile at each other and Kiss and Make up!

I think ur probably right (thou i call it Sheppard's pie whatever meat is in it), never really thought about it. Probably was called that decades ago but through common use with other meats, Sheppard's pie may not necessary have to have lamb in it.

In America, Shepard's Pie is made with any red meat I didn't even know it had to be Lamb to be authentic....Thank you for the info

Shepherds pie - lamb, Cottage pie - beef.

Sorry, I've never even heard of cottage pie. I've always called it shepard's pie--the kind with ground beef.

It's Sheperd's Pie when it's made with lamb. Cottage Pie when it is made with beef.

Beef for Shephard and Lamb for Cottage is the way it goes....but frankly....who cares, a rose by any other name would taste so sweet , if you like to eat meat.
