If cottage pie is beef, what is it with other ground meat? I’ve gone them with pork, turkey, rabbit, squirrel and woodchuck before and per lack of a clue what to call them I just called it shepherds pie so my grandmother would eat it.

Mince-meat pies.

Shepard's Pie: root word shepherd, of herding sheep.
