In response to "I recently found out my mom had that growing up in Argentina. They called it "pastel de papas"" by con_carne

Shepherd's pie is one of those dishes that was once made of leftovers, but is now made from scrat h

You'd roast a lamb leg with vegetables and gravy on the side, then the next day you would chop up the leftover lamb, mix it with the gravy, then mash the roasted veg and spread them in a layer on top.

But then it started getting made as a frozen meal using mince, and beef mince is cheaper than lamb, so they used that.
