First, the answer to the big question, is that the main difference between Shepherd’s Pie and Cottage Pie is in the meat. Shepherd’s Pie uses lamb mince (as you might’ve already guessed from the name) whereas Cottage Pie is a beef mince based dish.
But that’s not all…
Shepherd’s Pie is understood to originate from Ireland (although enjoyed across all of Britain and other parts of the world with any sense!)
Cottage Pie on the other hand is said to be from England (but also enjoyed in loads of other countries).
Cottage Pie is believed to date back to 1791, whereas Shepherd’s Pie became a thing almost a century later, in 1870.
It’s actually been said that Cottage Pie was historically used to name any pie containing meat and mashed potatoes.
But we understand sliced potatoes were traditionally layered on top of a Cottage Pie, to give the effect of a cottage’s roof shingles.
Whereas, Shepherd’s Pie’s topping has seemingly always been mashed potatoes.
These days, both Shepherd’s Pie and Cottage Pie are usually topped with mashed potatoes.
