Shepherd's Pie

Cultural Context

Shepherd's Pie is a traditional British dish that originated as a way to use leftover meat. It is typically made with ground lamb, reflecting its name, as shepherds tend to raise sheep. The dish has evolved over time and is now enjoyed in various forms, often with a topping of mashed potatoes. It is a comforting meal commonly served in homes and pubs across the UK, especially during colder months.
