What is original shepherd's pie made of?

What meat is shepherd's pie made from?

I think it's chicken (although it's not the one shown in your picture). Chicken is the meat in this dish, not pork. If you're going to post something at least inform your readers what the dish is made from.

I agree. Shepard's pie is definitely based on meat. You've already got plenty of people wondering if it's bacon or duck. That being said, I think it's a perfectly legit name for this dish. You can call it "Shepherd's Chick Pie", "Shepherd's Duck Pie", or "Shepherd's Meats Pie". But it's no longer a "chicken pie" for the same reason that F&F wouldn't claim their chili recipe is made with beef. It doesn't matter how it's made, just that it's made.

You know what though? If Shepherd's Pie is actually made from some other form of meat than it's usually made from, I don't give a damn if people call it a "sheep pie" as long as it's delicious! And it seems like Shepherd's Pie is so much more common than "bacon and potato" Shepherd's Pie so I figure people know what it is but it's okay if they call it a "sheep pie". I believe there is an older meaning of shepherd's pie that was a lamb pie. Not the modern interpretation. I've never had the lamb version but I'd definitely be game to try the other version.

This might be completely off topic but I had to comment on something. In my area we call Shepherd's pie "Chicken Pie." I find this to be odd because in England when the original chicken pie originated is was called a Shepherd's Pie. Also I'm aware of the origin of "Pig in a Poke" which was originally the name of the dish in the UK and Canada and it wasn't a dessert until the Americans decided to make it into a dessert.

I agree with the other comments above. But I'm from the UK and the name that I'm most used to is Chicken Pie.

The name originated from the dish being traditionally made with lamb or mutton, or simply as "The Shepherd's Pie." Then it became known as "The Shepherd's Pie" to disassociate it from what others perceived as a dessert. It became associated with a chicken version after the British Empire's involvement in the American Civil War.

What is the difference between cottage pie and shepherd's pie?

There are many different types of shepherd's pie.

Although the most popular type is the traditional shepherd's pie, which uses lamb or mutton, there are others that use beef or pork. The main difference between a cottage pie and a shepherd's pie is that the cottage pie is not as well-known, and most people assume it is a shepherd's pie. In fact, although both can be called pies, a cottage pie is usually made with potatoes rather than meat and is baked in an oven, while a shepherd's pie is cooked in a hot-water casserole or slow cooker.

When was the shepherd's pie first created? Shepherd's pies were probably created around the same time as cottage pies were, but the former is a much less common pie in the United Kingdom. Because of its lack of popularity, we can say that shepherd's pie probably has its roots in the 16th century in France, Germany and the Netherlands. These foods were introduced to England and Scotland via refugees from the French Huguenots who arrived in England in the 1600s.

Which country created the first version of shepherd's pie? Shepherd's pie may have originated in the Netherlands. The Dutch are known for their fondness for vegetables, so it makes sense that they might have developed a dish that includes vegetables in addition to meat. This could have been the origin of the Dutch shepherd's pie, which has potatoes instead of meat.

What are some variations of the traditional shepherd's pie? There are many different types of shepherd's pie, but there are two that are most commonly used: the English pie and the Dutch pie. These have different ingredients and cooking methods. An English pie uses minced lamb or mutton and beef stock. It can also use minced lamb or mutton and potatoes, which is a mixture of lean meat and potato. The Dutch version of the pie has the same ingredients as the English version, but it uses only potato, which makes it a more filling meal. The French version uses veal.

Shepherd's pie has been a popular meal for the lower classes since its creation. Although it became a favorite food for the poor, it is now eaten by the rich. Even the royal family enjoy shepherd's pie. The Duke of Edinburgh loves this pie, but he only eats it once every six months!
