As I understand it, shepherds pie is made with minced lamb, (hence the shepherd) and cottage pie with minced beef.

Well, IS there a significant difference between the two dishes? I assumed that it was because one had Worcestershire Sauce as an ingredient and the other didn't.

Otherwise it looks like a simple case of "Same Difference."
