Dinner tonight....Shepherd's Pie

Maybe the ignorant ones are the one percent of the population who think
it matters so much they have to get insulting about it? If I told my
"ignorant" daughter (Masters Degree) to "come home and make me some of
that famous *Cottage Pie*", she wouldn't know what I was talking about.
Or if I said the same to my "ignorant" mom (VP of one of the largest
banks in the state at age 30), she would probably tell me to put my
pinky back on the cup, and stop being so difficult. Anyway, just
mentioning "high tea" tells us, well, you know...

I've tried goat. I'll take lamb or beef over that any day. I love it
when we have silly debates over semantics. Our language is static and
changes to include things that were previously left out.

I love the pies and pasties, beef or lamb.

I have some British cookbooks that call for minced beef. I didn't know what
that was and assumed it was leftover roast beef cut up fine. I couldn't
figure out why they weren't coming out to be something tasty. Then through
a newsgroup, I realized I should have been using ground beef!

My fault for not reading my own post "NOT static." I sometimes post when
I'm in a hurry and don't read my mojo.

Point being: language changes.

I cringe when I hear "the reason is because." I've always been taught
that "the reason is THAT." So language evolves to my chagrin , too.

I also add a little bacon and cheese to my cornbread bake. Love the
recipe, though. So do my kids.

Never tried a pot pie with a cron bread crust, though. Sounds like a
plan.

Being ignorant of the proper name for something (the historical name of
this classic British dish) is not the same thing as being stupid.
Once you've learned something, you're not ignorant of the fact any
longer. Once I learned that the proper names for the 2 dishes, I used
them. I'm a traditionalist, shoot me.
What you personally decide to do with the knowledge might make you
appear stupid though, y'know?

The shepherd might put the beef in his dinner pie, but when the
evening is over, he'll share his bed with the lamb.

Shepherds don't generally "shepherd" beef but might cook beef in their
cottage?

Cow pie would have an unfortunate connotation at least in the USA:)

Beef pie?

I occasionally maker a "tamale" pie which is just a basic ground beef or
pork, corn & onions seasoned with chilli spices and toped with a corn
bread batter to bake up in the oven. I like a chicken pot pie topped
with corn bread also.

Here's just one of many versions available on the net
http://www.texascooking.com/recipes/tamalepie.htm


It is easier to season, i like to season the ground beef before i cook
it and let it sit for a half hour or so before i cook it up. There is
Steak Pudding that uses "stewing beef" (cut up chunks of chuck rib meat)
as well as steak pie, steak and kidney pie which often includes mushrooms.
