A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there’s lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

Shepherd’s Pie, though I confess I’ve never made it with mutton. If you use ground beef, it’s called Cottage Pie.
I use hot Italian sausage. I don’t think there’s a name for doing that. At that point you’re mixing up Cottage Pie with bangers and mash (mashed potatoes and sausage). And I’m okay with that. All those dishes are good. Mixing things up is what I do.
I watched a YouTube food historian Max Miller talk about shepherds pie and he mentioned that there is t really much of a correlation between what meat you use and whether it is “Shepard” or “Cottage” pie.
Shepherd’s pie is lamb, Cottage pie is beef.
I mean, my point is that it isn’t how it has always been historically, but whatever you want to do is fine.
La shephardos pie, possibly.
