If you ever wondered: how canned corn is made.

I'll have to post my "revisited" shepherd pie recipe at some point. But just to give you an idea, it's made from duck meat, beets and onions and a mixed mash of potatoes, carrots and rutabaga along with a couple more interesting things. |
Actually, denomination has shifted here as well but the correct name for anything with lamb, mutton or hogget in it would have to be 'shepherd's' something or other, after all, it is sheep in one of its many incarnations. But you are right, if you look it up on Wiki, it'll say that 'traditionally' it should be as I said, though the more modern use of the term 'Cottage Pie', referring to anything with meat and mash on it has become widespread in the UK as well.
Will have a look at those clips shortly. Thanks for that.
