Now cottage pie is made with ground beef but is virtually unknown here in the US, although it is commonly made, and called shepherds pie.

I guess I actually mada a cottage pie, as our one and only local gracer does not carry lamb. There is a small butcher nearby that someone told me later carries lamb, but I had already made my dish. Maybe next time I will go by and see if I can acquire any lamb before I set out to cook.
