I've made this for years and always thought it was cottage pie!

So exactly what is the difference between Cumberland Pie and Cottage Pie. And is there a difference between Cottage Pie and shepherds pie?

I'm sure Cumberland Pie has pickle included in the recipe making it different from Shepherds Pie (with minced lamb) and Cottage Pie (with minced beef). the way to remember the difference between these last two is shepherds look after sheep - hence lamb/shepherds pie.

Just glancing through the ingredients, I wondered "where are the carrots?". Then saw them written into Method. Suppose 2-3 carrots, but are they better grated or sliced?
