What's the pie?

Question

Following on to last weeks "What's in the cup?" Question, we now head to the equally pointless "What's the pie?"

There are two similar pies, which consist of minced meat in gravy covered with mashed potato, cottage pie (beef), and shepherd's pie (lamb). I don't bother piping tiles or patterns because I'm too lazy, so that's not a clue.

Although they're two different pies they look the same in most photos which leads to confusion. So have a guess, is it a cottage or shepherd's pie?

As a foreigner, and not educated in the finer details, I'll just call it a pie.

And I'm sure that I will like it. And my dogs as well - they have a good taste - same as me :)

The meat shown makes me think that it's lamb?

Pictures indeed can not show the taste of a dish. That won't change that it's still a delicious one.

See a sample (of something different) from my own ''home'' area...

Someone once said "If you want to have a good lunch or dinner in England, have breakfast again" Some food is just not photogenic :P

Ah, the delightful mystery of pies! 🍽️ Cottage pie and shepherd's pie can often be culinary doppelgängers. Both involve a scrumptious layer of mashed potatoes atop savory minced meat and gravy filling. The key difference lies in the choice of meat: cottage pie features beef, while shepherd's pie traditionally stars lamb. Sometimes, you can detect the difference in flavor by the distinct taste lamb offers compared to beef. But visually? They often keep their secrets well-hidden beneath that golden mash!

The second picture makes me think about a Bolognese about ti receive its tomato splash, so I'll rush for the cottage

Looks like shepherds pie, can't tell if the meat is lamb though.  If it's beef then it's cottage pie

My mind went immediately to Shepherd's before even reading the body of your post. Anyway, just my guess.
