Shepherds Pie or Cottage Pie ?
Today we're making Shepherds Pie. Not to be confused with a Cottage Pie. Well actually there pretty much the same, very similar. The only real difference is that a shepherds pie uses minced lamb and a cottage pie uses minced beef, or a beef and pork mixture. In my cottage pie video, link below, I used a Beef, Pork, and Veal mixture.
