Shepherd's Pie
"This popular English dish consists of meat (cubed or ground) cooked with vegetables and gravy, which is then topped with a "crust" of mashed potatoes. If the dish is made with beef it is known as "cottage pie," while if it contains lamb, it is called "shepherd's pie." Serve with a fresh green salad and some crusty bread."
