Is Shepherd’s Pie objectively disgusting?

['Ole Dente]

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

My point was that smashing them together into some retard lasagna is a poor attempt at food and a poor dish for any man to make.

Ah. I'll be sure to eat them one at a time, from now on, and be more careful to not allow them to combine in my stomach.

Every time I've had it it's been awful. Retarded british lasanga

I love it, especially in the fall/winter up here, one of the best warm-me-up meals.

I'd rather have meat, mashed potatoes and gravy, with vegetables on the side. The combination doesn't make more than the sum of it's parts.

If it’s made well it’s delicious. Made poorly it’s not. The trick is to use mince with enough fat in, and get the meat part quite thick with plenty of fat and the spuds mashed in such a way and of the right variety that they form a different texture that’s separate in top. If either phase is runny or watery it all gloops together and that’s disgusting. Most people have had watery mince that’s grey and mixing in with the potato. That is a travesty. You have to use the right spuds.
Both cottage and shepherds pie are fab if made well. They’re also great reheated the day after, once all the juices have settled.
You can also make a fish pie with chunks of various fish in a creamy white sauce with a little dill and lemon under a mashed potato top and that is amazing.

Try it. Cubes of various fish, salmon, white fish and big prawns if you want. Lie them in an oven proof dish so it’s a layer about 2 inches thick.
Make some mashed spuds. Mash roughly not too smooth, Bit of salt and pepper. Make a generic white sauce, add salt, pepper and a bit of dill. Pour the sauce over the fish, top with the mash, grate some cheese over if you want. Bake at about 180 for 40 mins or so. Squeeze lemon over when you serve. Really really good, gets better over a day in the fridge, if any is left.

Gotta take an L somewhere, you're only human. White people's L is food and that is just what you have to live with. Sorry.

White people’s L is the miscegenation of Europe lmao.

Mate this is a thread about shepherds pie

 

[Vining]

Honestly, Shepherds Pie is a dish that depends on how you make it and what ingredients you put into. Some people put green beans, broccoli, corn in it (yuck), and some people just don't even bother baking it, opting for putting mashed potatoes on top of their stewed meat and calling it a day.
Personally, I used Adam Ragusea's recipe with a round iron skillet. (https://kiwifarms.st/threads/what-have-you-cooked-recently.28101/page-339#post-16241842)
The only vegetables I put in the stewed mince is carrots, onions and peas. The key is that you add the frozen peas last so they won't get mushy. In the potato topping, I used aged Wisconsin cheddar (Inb4 Null starts bitching in this thread because I couldn't find any English cheddar) and egg yolks which gives it those slightly burnt lines if you apply Gordon Ramsay's forking technique. After it's done baking, I used chives as a garnish.

It's delicious. Only a fucking retard would think it's gross. If you want to talk about actual disgusting food then meatloaf and liver and onions is where the discussion should be at..

No, it is delightful. However, very few of you will ever have tasted an actual Shepherd's Pie. What you have had is Cottage Pie, which is horrible.

Cottage pie is the same as shepherd's pie. The only difference is cottage pie is made with beef and shepherd's pie is made with lamb.

If you cannot stand the taste of shepherds pie, there are two explanations.
1) You cannot cook. This has lead to you to making a watery mess and you going 'ewwww I made something badly!' then coping and seething about it. You need a good gravy and meat mix, with some nice vegetables, decent herbs stewed in for flavour. You need to be able to make a firm but still smooth mash, with the right spuds and a decentish layer of melted cheese on top. You need to be able to get the vegetables cooked but not mushy. These are easy, but you still fucked it up? How?

2) You are not white. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You got filtered by the basic footstuffs of humans. Go eat some dirt cookies, or curry shit sludge.

I wrote a 5 paragraph essay discussing at length the superior quality of both American ingredients and how the gratitude and fear of the other countries that we import some ingredients and appliances from enhance the taste of American-made Shepherd's Pie...but then I read your post beyond the title and realized you aren't British. You and your friends probably just have autism and simply don't like the mouthfeel of the various textures of the ingredients all combined in the dish.

You are correct I am not, in fact, human garbage that produces human garbage.

Also anyone that thinks that Shepherds Pie, and Lasagne, is in any manner comparable, you are making very bad lasagne lol. Pasta like fucking glue.

Right. So, not the same. And they taste very different.
