The origins of the recipe for Cottage pie comes is both Anglo and Hibernia.

The Shepard's of both Britain and Ireland traditionally used to make a pie consisting of Lamb, mutton or hoggit combined with vegetables and the widespread potato.

This dish was easily made by the Shepard's in any sheltered area they chose to stop for the night. They traditionally carried any vegetables they would use along with the potatoes and kill the animal when needed.

Cottage pie only differs from Shepard's pie in that it uses Beef which subsequently became more widely available when later farming practices were used.
