Reply to comment by bugdude666 in The not-so-great shepherds pie debate by marrymejojo

Oh so it's Gordon Ramsey that started the ridiculousness. That makes sense.

On a side note... I used to work at the navy base cafeteria in brunswick and all the navy folks would call it beef corn pie when we had it. Even though we called it shepherds pie in the kitchen. Good times.

Not really Gordon Ramsey that started it. It's an old British origin dish, and if we were in Britain, we'd be calling what we eat cottage pie, because in Britain, shepherd's pie is made with lamb. Since we're not in Britain, we can all just call it whatever we want and no one needs to tell Gordon anything about it.
