It's not cowboy's pie! Shepherd's pie is a traditional way for thrifty British housespouses to use up leftover lamb. Lamb is delicious! Everyone should eat it often. Buy a leg of lamb too large for your family to eat at one sitting. Cook and serve. Refrigerate remainder. Next day, or whenever, cut all the remaining meat off the bone. Grind, or, if you have no meat-grinder (Br. meat mincer) cut very small. Add a few frozen peas, carrots, thyme, corn, whatever you fancy. If it seems a bit dry, add oil. Cook enough mashed potatoes to serve your size of multitude. Put the meat in a casserole (if serving only two, a loaf pan is better) and spread potatoes evenly on top. Bake at 350 for about 45 mins. It may or may not brown on top; if not, a _very_ brief singe under the broiler will do it. Enjoy!
