Is Shepherd’s Pie objectively disgusting?

Is Shepherd’s Pie objectively disgusting?

It's a dish designed by absolutely retarded peasant women 200 years ago. It's meant to be a functional way to re-use scraps made from competent dishes and, look, I'm not one to give a stink eye to the old ways. Sometimes you don't have to reinvent the wheel here and there's some wisdom in older things but let's face it, a lot of people have been gaslit into thinking this is a good idea and it's just not. The textures are too multivariate, the tastes don't blend well together and look not for nothing but it's a white person food invention. We are known for doing a lot of great things but food is not one of those things, especially out of that part of the world. Everything the British/Irish/Scottish make tastes like depression.

I'll still honor the results, I'm a man of my word but I mean....I'm disappointed to say the least, boys.

Just admit that you're wrong. It's okay.
 
I think it's okay, it's not the best thing, and it's not the worst. I don't hate it any more than I hate most casseroles, it's an inoffensive delivery system for meat veggies and starches that you can play around with.
 
This looks like something I'd have to try to cook myself to determine how much I either like it or love it. Honestly, it sounds hard to make minced meat layered with mashed potatoes unappetizing, but that's probably just my taste.

In my experience people who say this:
  • Are poor
  • Can’t cook
  • Eat shit food
  • Don’t know shit.
 
It's a nice comfort meal to have on a cold, rainy day. Is it the peak of culinary invention, no. There are far better dishes in the world. But it's a hearty dish that fills you up and keeps you warm. Plus, meat and potatoes is always a good combination.

How are you fat and retarded enough to have a problem with seasoned meat, mashed potatoes, and vegetables?
 
It isn't disgusting, but it is just off brand worse off Lasagna.

Nothing special. Would I eat it if I'm hungry? Likely. Would I seek it out when I got other options? No.

From my google results, it is mediocrity the food, but not a culinary horror like the british eel head pie.
 
I prepare my own delicious shepherd or cottage pies; so I don't have to eat the incompetently made versions you plebeians denounce as though the dish has previously sodomized you.

Sheperd's pie is delicious. Only thing I take out when I make it is the peas because they will make me either throw up or go down with a stomach sickness for a few days.

I've heard this before. "My grandmother's recipe is good/You should try it from my home country/what you're eating isn't shepherds pie/My recipe is wonderful" and you know what

It's meat, mashed potatoes and veggies. It's not different mate, it's all shit. You're not making it any differently than gram-gram or the irish.

Your point is that meat, potatoes, and vegetables can't possibly taste good? What's an alternative you will endorse?
