Title: a different take on
Post by: Jake on August 04, 2012, 07:45:39 PM
Shepherd's pie...made it with ground turkey and it was awesome. Made loaded mashed potatoes to cover the top of the pie (all though i didn't have any). Topped that off with angel cake covered in a sour cream/condensed milk cream with blueberries. I didn't have any of that either :(

But the fam loved it!

I almost always use ground turkey, though once in a while I opt for sausage

Sausage shepherd's pie? Do you buy brats or italian sausage and squeeze it out?

no? I use ground deer sausage. Every season my second or third deer goes to the butcher (I do all the others myself) to be turned into sausage. I don't know how they make it, it could be that they make the links/brats for the flavor and all that then uncase and ground it.

I love shepherd's pie with ground beef. I first tried a recipe that involved baking for a bit, with real mashed potatoes on top, but recently I realized it's hardly worth it since I like instant mashed potatoes almost as much and it takes way less time.

Called my butcher today, they make the sausage as normal and then smoke it for a few days. After being smoked it is ground (if ordered) casing and all into ground sausage.

There's only one meat in SHEPHERDS pie, and the clue's in the name.

If you make it with beef it's cottage pie, and I have no idea what the other 2 abominations are.

Holy shit, you mean you grind up little boys that tend to sheep and put them in the pie? I guess their legs are tender from long days standing in the fields?

hence a different take!

but lamb is an acquired taste, plus it's expensive.

Yea I mean come on Rob the lack of tradition was right in the title.

And it was always m understanding that shepherds pie was simply a poor mans dish made with whatever they had on hand at the time, not with anything in particular.

Btw, I could honestly not care less. My Mum used to make shepherds pie with minced beef left over from sunday lunch, and very good it was too. I just felt like an argument :p
