I was so excited to see this contest and then so disappointed that they didn't spring for the flight! Just the tickets to the conference? That is nice... but no flight, no hotel - hmmm. Yet, we in Canada do love our Canadian beef.

We tend to put them all under the same umbrella to and call them all shepherds' pie.<br /><br />Great to see someone do a post on such a great classic. It's one of my favourites. And we've got some of those earthenware bowls so I might just have to make shepherds pie now. It looks great in those bowls. :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259736008093281882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-41296185305988132202011-03-14T21:17:02.410-07:002011-03-14T21:17:02.410-07:00My husband loves sheperd's pie...I like your I...My husband loves sheperd's pie...I like your Irish version!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-78812816152821117882011-03-14T18:45:52.295-07:002011-03-14T18:45:52.295-07:00I want some!I want some!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-87555200024139904712011-03-14T18:43:20.428-07:002011-03-14T18:43:20.428-07:00I love shepherd's pie.
