Haha! I can imagine that being nice. Agree with the Shepherds statement. But you need a visual image of what it is when reading.

And, in time honoured Floydesque tradition, a scoop of ale to whet the chef's whistle while it cooks
Too right Cromer
I'm never happier than when I'm 'cheffin' in the kitchen glass of beer in hand listening to talkSPORT or R5L on the radio
Haha! I do that! Cooking up an invention, talksport on my radio app, bottle of beer or glass of red. Listening to Durham Slam Arsenal. Bliss!Too right Cromer

Cheese and onion topping sounds a nice twist! I generally do a cheesy, mustard Mash topping. But that's pretty basic.While we're on the subject here's my homemade Shepherd's Pie with a cheese 'n' onion crispy top, pictured before it went in the oven on Sunday [HASHTAG]#chef[/HASHTAG] de partie

I use maris piper spuds mashed with a generous knob of butter, mature cheddar and a little milk, top with more finely grated cheddar and crushed cheese'n' onion crisps [HASHTAG]#simples[/HASHTAG]
Hahaha!!! That doesn't sound as good as I imagined when you break it down!!!! I was imagining you made a topping out of like....Parmesan, Grated cheddar, onion granules, seasoning...things like that!! Not Crisps!!!I use maris piper spuds mashed with a generous knob of butter, mature cheddar and a little milk, top with more finely grated cheddar and crushed cheese'n' onion crisps [HASHTAG]#simples[/HASHTAG]

Yes, but they must be 'Walkers'
Sounds and looks good, I also tend to top mine with cheese and onion or maybe sometimes chives, I've used crisps on a pasta bake before but I bet it works on Shep pie too. I love my carbs, so if I were to be hyper critical i might venture to suggest that your meat/potato ratio looks a bit skewed towards the meat. 
Bah!
Bah!
Anyone like a good curry ? This is the nearest thing you'll get to restaurant quality from a supermarket IMO, bloody marvellous and a hundred times better than a jar of paste or ready made sauce.

Morrisons, Tesco, bit expensive at £ 2.89 but well worth it. You get a packet of relevant spices which you can either toast whole or crush with mortar and pestle if you prefer, you then add the meat or vegetables of your choice and cook for 5 mins approx, then the sachet of base sauce and cook for a further 5 mins or so and then the main sauce and cook for a few minutes until meat is tender. What you end up with is a curry that looks (film of oil on top) and tastes pucker !
I have a traditional Indian currys book, I have done 2 or 3 curries from. Taste amazing, but my god so many ingredients!! You need to take an afternoon off work to cook them! An authentic cheat would be a nice option for when busy.
Exactly FML I've cooked homemade curries from scratch but they take an age these are the best 'cheat' you'll find, Anjum Anand is to Indian cuisine what Delia is to British cooking
