It’s one of my favourite meals too. Although I think I prefer Shepherd’s Pie, as it tastes nicer made with lamb, I reckon.

That’s quite similar to how I make it, although I would leave out the carrots, peas and garlic as I don’t like any of them. You could try dicing up a courgette instead of using carrots.
Yes, it’s good to add lots of Worcestershire Sauce - it’s great stuff. But I would be using Oxo instead of Bovril. I’d also use lots of grated Cheddar on the mash. That might make it more of a Cumberland Pie than a Cottage Pie though…

The colonies use corn. Absolutely not!
I tend to use rosemary with lamb but not beef. I’m “more is better” with herbs but I had a disaster with a beef stew once and made pine tree stew. It’s possible to use too much rosemary. LOL
The demi glace stock base I use does the same thing as your Bovril. I want big flavor.
Oh so these are real Somerset cheddar cheese.
I am thinking of picking up a few today.
Thanks, love.
funny its says its suitable for vegetarians, I didnt think veggies ate dairy?
the original cheddar cheese had to come from Cheddar and be matured in Cheddar caves, but I dont suppose that applies any more.

Vegans don’t eat dairy. Vegetarians are more varied. Some eat dairy and eggs. Paneer is usually in the vegetarian menu at Indian restaurants. The most you know for certain is that they don’t eat animal flesh.

You're thinking of vegans. Plenty of vegetarians eat dairy products. Cheese market suitable for vegetarians doesn't use rennet, taken from a calf's stomach during butchering, in the cheese making process.
American cheese is a combination of Cheddar, and colby cheeses. Both which are from England.

That might make it more of a Cumberland Pie than a Cottage Pie though…
