Agree about on line forum humour. Risky, made that mistake when first started posting, so avoid it now, apart from Jokes in the Yoke section.
I can’t remember ever making a Shepherd’s pie, though can remember them as a child - greasy is my memory. When we had a housefull, a piece of lamb meant no left overs and neither of us is keen on lamb cut cold, no idea why. Like all such traditional recipes, the contents depended on what was around. How things have changed?
Last week bought 1lb of beef mince and having a leek in the fridge, used that rather than onion, plus finely chopped carrot. The ancient recipe, taken from an old village book raising money for charity, only uses 5floz of stock, I nearly doubled that. The pie bit is 2lbs of mash potato.
Every day is a good day, it's just that some days are better than others.
