Looks like when I make Shepard's pie. I guess I'm not doing it wrong. Also fuck is Shepard's pie the best drunk food.

Looks fairly good.
How would you make those holes on the top?

>>8476137
I'm guessing he was trying to get the mash crispier I just kinda sculpt it around till it has lots of random pointy bits.

>>8476145
that was the idea and it ended up working. I used a butter knife.

Makes sense, thanks.

>>8476001
It looks nice anon.

That looks delicious OP!
I too made a Shepard's pie today, but I think I messed up because the lamb was really runny. I wasn't able to make nice slices like >>8476039 and>>8476043. What was your recipe?

British """'cuisine"""" everyone

That's not fair. Shepard's pie/cottage pie is one of the best dishes in the world.

>peasant dish with ingenious use of cheap ingredients
>tastes good, is very customizable
>is very old, but still relevant
>widely known and has spread far beyond its place of origin

>>8476001
Is your lamb locally sourced and organic and sustainable?

>>8477185
>shepherds pie
>beef

ooooh made yourself look a bit of a twat there!

>>8476797
I used this as a guideline:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/shepherds-pie-recipe2.html
However, I made numerous changes like adding stout and a pinch of smoked paprika to the filling and cheddar to the mash. Also I added a little bit of ground beef (about 3/4 lamb and 1/4 beef) to balance the strong flavor of the lamb.

>>8477927
I bought the meat in an Arabic grocery store so I guess no.

Fat-fuckistans obsession truly is eternal.

How so? You aren't one of those fools who think it must be lamb, do you?

The original recipe called for "beef or any other meat at hand" (See Mrs. Beeton's)

The reason it's called a "shepherd's" pie is because it's poor people food. You took whatever meat and veggies you had and made the pie. The idea that it should be made with lamb is a modern misunderstanding of the name.

It's actually ass backwards if you think about it. A shepherd raises sheep to sell their wool. He/she wouldn't kill a lamb to prepare food because the lamb is worth far more as a wool producer than it is as food. Beef is entirely correct here.

>>8477954
that's modern folk etymology. Sure it makes sense, but cottage pie and shepherd's pie were literally the same thing until Margaret Fulton or whoever pushed the meme that shepherd = lamb meat.

Nicely done dear Anon

THAT BETTER BE MADE WITH GROUND LAMB NOT BEEF OTHERWISE IT'S A "COTTAGE PIE"

>>8480147

Read the thread foolio, you've already been preempted.

>>8476001
Loops like hotdish with pie crust

>>8479860
You have to kill some of the lambs since infinitly expanding number of sheep will turn your pasture dry.

>>8480159
>Pie crust

Nope.

>>8480172
No, you control their breeding by keeping your stud ram separated from the ewes.

You can also sell any unwanted lambs which would probably make a lot more sense than eating one for a poor shepherd.

I've never tried Shepherd's pie but that looks delicious, anon

Underrated
