Shepherd's pie! Bake beans or No?!

[Spymaster]

Please vote and explain your answer.

My answer is beans, obvs. Cos I'm not a fucking wrong 'un. Well not when it comes to pie anyway

I'm not against the idea in principle because it would probably be quite tasty. However, it wouldn't be a shepherds pie. It would be a minced lamb and beans pie. I'm afraid due to this I have to vote "no".

Fuck your popularity contest

In a huff because noone agrees with you?

Well, two wrong 'uns clearly agree with you.

I understand your answer. Let me know how you enjoy minced lamb and beans pie, whenever you happen to try it.

I don't need people to agree with me to know I'm right

 

[Thimble Queen]

Give peas a chance!

Never again.

 

[Micro]

I voted no but then I remembered my bro in law making it that way and it was actually nice.

I’m veggie, and used to often make shepherdless pie using baked beans.

Not done it for a while though.

Shepherdless? But then you can’t play find the crook.

 

[Orang Utan]

Not even alongside, no.

Would like to make the distinction between Shepard's Pie (Lamb mince) and, Cottage Pie (Beef mince).

The former? beans? Never!

The latter? a wonderful addition. Summat else that's moist, that'll flirt with the rich cow juices in a symphony of processed tomato and pulse protein

What about Cumberland pie?

 

[Thimble Queen]

OMFG that was gooooood

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Never done it but yeah - why not!

 

[bellaozzydog]

WT actual fuck

Baked beans in shepherds pie!!!! what is wrong with you

 

[gentlegreen]

I was going to say haricot Beans in a pie with a fatty duck leg = "Cassoulet", but it seems only Clive's vegan pies actually put a crust on it.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

What about Cumberland pie?

I've never heard of Cumberland pie and it seems to be basically shepherd's pie with cheese on top and perhaps breadcrumbs. I've been making it for years without knowing.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Cottage pie with beans on the side is gorgeous.

Just saying.

 

[joustmaster]

This is not normal behaviour.

Tis over here...

 

[Thimble Queen]

I like you even more now ❤

Also who doesn't put cheese on top. I mean that is just madness!

Either in or alongside is fine, it's not shepherd's pie if you put the beans in it though. Same goes for cottage pie.

I like to eat leftover haggis with baked beans (mixed in) and mash too

 

[circleline]

Technically, no. However, many people will refer to a Cottage Pie (beef mince) as a Shepherd's Pie (lamb mince) and a Cumberland Pie has carrots in and cheese on top. So, technicality is not really an issue (is it?)

Beans can make a creamy, slightly sweet, acidic addition to beef mince (a worthy and respected combination) and can make the pie go further and kids seem to like it.

Pie is pie and many combinations are delicious and worth bringing to the table, I reckon..

Thimble Queen could you, please, edit the thread title? It's irritating the shit out of me.

If you wanna add breadcrumbs and a gratin to a cottage pie, then I'm there, in fact I'm hungry!

Put the thread on ignore

 

[Saffy]

Yes! To make the mince go further and also because my Mum did it.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

As for shepherds pie...we used have green beans with it.

Heinz beans with cottage pie...absolutely scrummy.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Cor. I could have seconds

I don't mind if you want to call it sth different

Regarding the haggis, do you eat the leftovers cold?

No! Not like that anyway Microwave, mix with (also heated up, but separately) beans, serve with mash.
