When I was young, in the 70's, beef was cottage and lamb was shepherds. I'm not surprised that it's not traditional and the information is interesting but I'm still going to keep distinguishing between the two. Having said all that thanks for a great take on it, especially the addition of red wine which I'll try next time I make a potato topped meat pie that's not a hot pot. Also I normally follow the Delia recipe which adds cinnamon which is really nice.
Thanks for the comment, but as I explained on the video, what you say is a neologism, it is relatively new, and a good one too! But historically, shepherds pie never meant lamb or beef and the oldest known recipe was with beef!
HI great vid, I cook mine very similar ,only I add a squirt of tomato puree to my meat mix . once cooked and put into your dish i fridge mine for a couple of hours it sets so its dead easy to spread the mash on.

Thanks for the comment and yeah, I like the idea of distinguishing between the two.
Shepard’s pie is made with lamb if it’s beef it’s cottage pie 😣
