Cottage Pie or Sheherd's Pie?

'Shepherd's pie' and 'cottage pie' are well-known English dishes that are often confused. What is the difference? They are essentially the same dish, but shepherd's pie contains lamb while cottage pie contains beef.

“牧羊人派”和“乡村肉饼”是大家都熟悉的英式菜肴，但经常会弄混。有什么区别呢？其实它们基本上是同一道菜，不过牧羊人派用的是羊肉，而乡村肉饼用的是牛肉。

The dish is easy to cook and the ingredients vary with personal taste. Generally, we start by frying sliced onions, perhaps with chopped vegetables like carrots, turnips, celery or leeks. These are set aside when cooking ground beef or lamb. Once the meat is browned, the meat and vegetables are mixed in a casserole, with flour, dried herbs and a little stock. At the same time, boil potatoes until tender. Then the potatoes are mashed and placed on top of the meat and vegetable mixture. Sometimes a little grated Cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top. The casserole is placed in a hot oven (180oC) for about 30 minutes. The dish is served on its own or with additional boiled vegetables and gravy.

这道菜很容易煮，配料因个人口味而异。一般来说，我们先炒洋葱片，也许还有胡萝卜、萝卜、芹菜或韭菜等切碎的蔬菜。这些在烹饪碎牛肉或羊肉时被搁置一旁。肉变成褐色后，将肉和蔬菜与面粉、干香草和少许高汤混合在砂锅中。同时，将土豆煮至变软。然后将土豆捣碎并放在肉和蔬菜混合物的顶部。有时会在上面撒上一点磨碎的切达干酪。将砂锅放入热烘箱 (180oC) 中约 30 分钟。这道菜可以单独食用，也可以与额外的煮蔬菜和肉汁一起食用。
