Week 18 - Lentil Cottage Pie

I can hear the questions already 'Is a Cottage Pie still a Cottage Pie when it has no meat?'.....   Yes.

According to the internet:
The term cottage pie is known to have been in use in 1791,when the potato was being introduced as an edible crop affordable for the poor (cf. "cottage" meaning a modest dwelling for rural workers).

So by my reckoning anything covered in mashed potato is a Cottage Pie.........unless it's a fat guy with a fetish.

Anyway, veggie cottage pie is awesome, a few parsnips in the mix for an added tang to the topping.  The only drawback is it's a bit of work to produce.  Recipe is here.

Covered in mash = Cottage

To summarize; veggie cottage pie is awesome, a few parsnips in the mix for an added tang to the mash.
