By Sheriff Don Wiest
Sheriff Don's Shepherd Pie
The original sheperds pie dish originated in the 1500-1600s in Ireland... or perhaps Scotland, depending on whose allegiances your family tree descends from.
It was taditionally made with leftover ground lamb and vegetables, including potatoes, which were generally mashed and provided a topping for the meat and vegetable layer.
Most Irish versions of this dish use lamb or mutton. If beef is used, it comes from an English recipe and is properly called a cottage pie.
