Important question

I'm eating leftover shepherd's pie but I live with a vegan so I make vegan shepherd's pie.

Clearly neither sheep nor shepherds were involved so I don't know what to call it

@grayface_ghost

technically Donkey Pie, as that is the name for the variant that has whatever you have to hand in it, as opposed to specifically shepherds or cottages.

@Thebratdragon

I disapprove of this name, and I've never eaten a donkey or a cottage.

Nor a shepherd before anyone asks, in a semi-serious and lewd way

@grayface_ghost I think we called it "Sheepless Pie" in the end.

@diffrentcolours

I've tried shepherdless but it hasn't really got a ring to it.

@grayface_ghost Bad Shepherds Pie?

(After Adrian Edmonson’s band The Bad Shepherds, who always said they were called that because they don’t have any sheep.)

@grayface_ghost I always thought a shepherd's pie was just a cottage pie where the meat is specifically made from a sheep, so this is just a vegan cottage pie.
@grayface_ghost It could be declared as Reconstructed Mince & Tatties.
@grayface_ghost the wondering pie?
As I wonder what's in it, but it's pie so I am going to eat it

@priscillaharing

Ding ding ding

(as in, potential winner, not as in Hector Salamanca)

@grayface_ghost You're all overthinking this, it's a gardener's pie

@TeflonTrout

It's my pie though, and I ate it.

And semi-retired software engineer's pie, is frankly too long

@grayface_ghost a s-rsep pie

@TeflonTrout

That rolls off the tongue like a steel brick welded to the tonsils

@grayface_ghost we call ours garden pie because vegetables grow in gardens, and beef grows in cottages, and lamb grows in...wait I have no idea why we call it that
@grayface_ghost I've seen references to cottage pie when it is made without lamb
