Unfortunately here in Australia - at least in NSW where I live - the name
"shepherd's pie" has also come to be associated with the beef version.
Most people would be unaware that it's supposed to be lamb.

same here in SA Rhonda,

though a few people, when I asked them what they thought its origin was,
admitted that it "used" to be made with leftover lamb roast lol

an Irishman should know better, yes, I knew it comes up from time
to time but this time I decided to set up a webpage and try and
get near the top of the ranking to spread light and understanding
to the ignorant world, such is my mission.

I remember talking to my sis about it once, and she reckoned that it's
evolved into the beef product, so that's what it is, regardless of what
it used to be. If my mum made it, I think she probably made it with beef
- I doubt it was with leftover lamb roast as we had a leg of lamb only on
special occasions and then leftovers went on sandwiches.

When a national promotion for beef uses shepherd's pie as one of the
recipes (at least I think it was a national promotion - a couple of years
ago maybe, on telly, in magazines etc.) then what else can you expect

Well, my mum always called it shepherd's pie, made with leftover lamb or
beef, and she was a Londoner through and through. I don't remember "cottage
pie" ever crossing her lips and - believe me, I would never have
contradicted my mum. ;-(

Once, lacking both beef and lamb, we made it with sausages -- "German
Shepherd's Pie." Not at all bad!
