Rules:
1. BE KIND
Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.
2. NO ADVERTISING
This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.
3. NO MEMES
4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD
Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see [email protected]

"most people" is likely geographically influenced. I'm guessing you're in the US.
In the UK and Ireland, where the dish originated, "most people" would tell you it's a Shepherd's pie because shepherds herd she(e)p, not cows.

I'm an American, and I too know the difference between cottage and Shepherd's pie. Some people never leave their small towns and assume their experience and limited knowledge is universal.
