If you make it with minced beef, it's a Cottage Pie. Either way they're brilliant and pretty easy to get right

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a pet peeve of mine ya know!!!!!!

BTW - I make BOTH fabulously.

The key is to use Boursin Cheese, garlic, butter, pepper, and kosher salt in the unskinned potatoes prior to mashing them. Hint a little lemon zest in this goes a long way and is pretty much just fabulous.

I've never heard of this, but from what I've read it makes me feel nauseous. May just be my ignorance of its bliss

Yum! Some of these sound very tasty.

I grew up with our family's version of shepards pie, which perhaps should have been called cottage pie. ??? It had ground beef mixed with a can of tomato soup or tomato sauce on the bottom. Then yellow string beans. Then mashed potato (homemade - not instant - that'd be gross). And then slices of kraft cheese melted on top. Delicious!

All these food posts! It's morning right now and I am in the mood for a huge dinner meal!

That does sound better. My ex made S-Pie...and I hated it with a passion. It's a blob of gobbly-goop. Like a meat stew...but worse, it's baked. I guess it's good to maximize your food dollar.

Really, I wasn't even hungry, and now I'm starving!
Oh well, we got 5 inches of snow yesterday.....I can tell myself that it's still winter, and still okay to eat.

Ghosty · #23 03-22-2006, 02:18 PM

I kind of wish it was still winter. We did get snow flurries today, but not to amount to anything on the ground. I had a dream before I woke up though that we had gotten a snow storm over night and that neighbors still had Christmas lights on their house, and it felt so warm and cozy in that dream....guess maybe it means I am not ready to let winter go....

Boursin is a sort of exotic goat cheese is it not?

It actually comes from the rhesus monkey, Dave.

Dont worry about it. Off subject a bit, but I've been to London 2 times, and both times Ive stayed near Notting Hill, and there's this AWESOME fish resturant there called Geale's. Have you heard of it?
