Shepherd’s pie has lamb that all the shepherds look after in it. Cottage has all the beef of a good night out cottaging.

Also pie is delicious but not particularly easy. Beans on toast is far far easier, but nobody says it's as easy as beans on toast.

Wiki to the rescue:

The name "cottage pie" was first used at the end of the 18th century. It was around that time that the poorer people of Britain, people who lived in cottages in the country, started using potatoes as an everyday food. Originally, a pie made with any kind of meat and mashed potato was called a "cottage pie".

In modern British English, the dish is usually called "cottage pie" if it is made with beef. If it is made with lamb it is usually called "shepherd's pie" (because a shepherd looks after sheep).

It's not too difficult. I use this old rhyme to help me remember :

Red sky at night - Shepherd's delight

Red sky in the morning - Shepherd's warning

Minced lamb topped with mashed potato - Shepherd's pie

Area of west London with a green, a theatre, a shopping centre and a football stadium - Shepherd's Bush

I hope that helps.

Anything a crispy topping can be considered a pie. In fact the whole dish used to be lined with mashed potato originally so it was like a full mash pie case.

This comes from the late 1700s when potatoes were a great cheap alternative to pastry, and that's where the cottage comes from too. As cottages were soon as cheap rural housing for the poor.

I'm not always this boring guys, I just love history and food

A good few years ago before I started to get more fluent in English I was in an airport lounge and some kids were playing what sounded like "ice pie". It was many years later that I discovered the truth.

I wear beef Wellingtons dont you know

In all seriousness, theres alot of rumours where the name originated some say because cow sheds were known as cow cottages in the 18th centuries. some say because it was 'poor mans food' typically made from left over meat and potatoes as they were cheap and poor people lived in cottages.

Pre-industrial revolution was the cottage industry. Families lived in a dwelling of two rooms. This dwelling was where they slept, worked and ate. Who knows, probably cottage pies

Actually, this has got me thinking now.

Maybe we've all completely misunderstood the whole phrase 'easy as pie'

Maybe it means that something is difficult and that it's really 'Easy as PI'

Top your potato crust with breadcrumbs to create a Cumberland pie (I top mine with grated cheese for delicious cheesy potato crispness).

My nan and mum make something called cheese and potato pie which is basically just cheesy mash potato put in a dish with grated cheese on top and then grilled until the cheese goes crispy. It's rather deliscious but the pie part of the name causes some confusion. I guess it's a pie in the same way as shepherds and cottage pie though.
