Blog homework: What food brings back memories for you?

32

Hello folks and welcome to my first ever blog homework! 😮 I know, I know… 4 years on the site and there’s really no excuse for not doing one yet!

So the food which brings back memories for me is a British dish called Shepherds pie. I understand many people here won’t know what this is so I’m going to share some receipes below and it would be so fun to hear if anyone tried to cook it! 👩🍳


shepherds or cottage pie is made up of minced beef or lamb cooked in a sauce/gravy with veggies like onions, carrots and peas. This is then topped with mashed potatoes and cheese and then baked in the oven.

This was always my favourite dish that my mum cooked for me as a kid. And as I got older into my teens and early twenties whenever I went travelling my mum would always have shepherds pie waiting for me for dinner when I returned ❤️

I’m vegan now, but I do still make shepherds pie from time to time. You can make it using veggie mince but it’s even better with lentils. Here are some recipes, I challenge you to make one!

As an American I think that in the back of my mind I knew Shepherd's Pie was English, but it's common enough here that it doesn't register to me as a "foreign food" like black pudding or curry.

thanks for sharing the recipe, i would love to try it out.  I wonder if I could cheat by using campbells cream of chicken and instant potatoes -- dont judge lol
