It may originally have been made from mutton (probably not lamb) judging by its name, but the fact remains that Shepherds pie as made by the vast majority of British is generally made from ground beef. (If it were made from sheep meat, potatoes and onions and had a crust, that would be a scouse pie, but thats another story... ). My dictionary says shepherds pie is a meat dish cooked with potatoes on top -- sounds like non-specific peasant fare to me (but nevertheless good). -- Marcus Hand (mtunh!mgh)
