What's for dinner/tea?

Apologies if the emoji didn't show my sarcasm. Each to their own.

Until I was an adult I called it shepherds pie, as that's what my mother called it. One of the many ways she damaged me!
No worries.
Trying to explain to my seven year old the differences between cottage and shepherds pie is hard, especially when he asks why there isn’t any pastry but it’s called a pie.
My recipe is actually for a ragu to be used in bolognaise but then I just cover it with mash. And if I added chilli to it and served with rice then we have another dish as well.

People who do not like both peas and baked beans should be culled from the population, or at least sterilised, to prevent their abhorrent mutations from polluting the gene pool.

If I did I would add the same as Carole - plus peas and carrots!

I put carrots in it and also if I’ve got mushrooms that need using up they go in too, chopped up minutely small. You can’t taste them in it but it’s extra veg which is an added benefit.

I’ve never put peas in it but we have garden peas with it, that’s the rule. (Our rule, not everybody else’s rule).

I think once a month we should have a forum cook off! Where we all make the same meal (our own family recipe way!) And share with everyone else!

First dish should be something hard, start with the bar very high. Then if we all make a pigs ear of it we can then go to something easy and say we have improved 1000% from the last dish.

I like both, but not baked beans with cottage pie, that's just plain wrong!

Was done 28yrs ago. You've met one of my mutations!

Does it matter which peas? I love processed but can’t eat garden or mushy.
Same here, eat Processed ones till the cows come home, don't like the rest.

Very strange that two people like us live in the same town ... anybody else want to be added to the list?

According to my Mum, as a small child, I would eat anything put in front of me, even veggies.Then I started school. She said I became a very fussy eater after that.
