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?

Cumberland Pie etc

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.

Ingredients for Cumberland 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?

SLICED DEFINITELY

I love this recipe!

I have made a similar recipe for my 14 years of marriage, I found my Grandma's recipe, she was from Newcastle England, it is a delicious hearty meal, and my husband loves it..

Cumberland Pie needs layer of carrots

posted by Liz Perrott @ 03:46AM, 12/21/08

I have always had a layer of sliced carrots over the meat, rather than mixed in with it, and then a layer of cheese over that, before the mashed potato is added!

Third Layer

posted by Iggy Sunshine @ 08:54AM, 3/09/09

It is the third layer on top - of breadcrumbs and cheese etc that makes it a Cumberland Pie. The above is a recipe for a Cottage Pie. Shepherd's Pie uses Lamb instead of Beef mince.

Quantity?

Is 250g mince REALLY going to serve 6 people??
