Shepherds Pie

Can we all put the argument 'is it cottage pie or shepherds pie' to bed now please? Shepherds pie uses sheep (lamb), Cottage pie uses beef. End of. Anyway, this is the peak of British cuisine. A gorgeous, chunky lamb ragu topped with creamy, crispy mash potato, made EVEN better by a little tip from a well known guitarist - Keith Richards - who likes to add raw onions over the ragu just before adding the mash over the top.
