if a shepherd's pie is a pie made with lamb, what's a shepherd's pie made with kangaroo called?
i'm in the midst of my first ever shepherd's pie making experience, and as i don't particularly like lamb or sheep meat, but adore the flesh of the comely kangaroo, i'm using macromince©. so, aside from creating a culinary first in my life (and kitchen) and totally ignoring the "traditional" recipe, i'm trying to work out a name for said foodage. would it be considered a "jackaroo pie"? or a "stockman's pie"? i think it needs a totally australian name, but i can't think of one.
til next....

ingrediments are as follows (in an effort to help the naming process):any ideas will be greatly appreciated and credit shall be given to the person/s who help me to create a name for this dish!
1kg of macromince

3 mushrooms roughly chopped
1tsp olive oil
pinch of salt
1 tsp 4 mix pepper freshly ground (black, white, red & green)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriandre
pinch of chilli powder
pinch of mixed herbs
1 cup red wine (approx.)
topping will include:
5 peeled and boiled medium size potatos
approx. 40gm butter
pinch of mixed herbs
1/2 cup milk (approx.)
1/2 cup cheese (approx)
til next....

Another good one to try if one could ever find it anymore is venison mince - dad and i used to buy up the entire stock of woolies at indro on a monday nite when they still had their uber butcher in the meat department...used to make good lasagne with it which is what i loved and miss...
but back to you...you could be really uncooth and call it Skippy Pie...but i think jackaroo is probably the best you're gonna get in terms of an aussie name i reckon...

it's called "shepherd's pie" because it was made from sheep by shepherds. at least i think anyways. could be wrong. haven't bothered to research. :)
never tried venison, but considering my propensity towards "exotic meats" i'm thinking i'll have to give it go.
< research > it's apparently called "cottage pie" and traditionally made from leftovers. either beef or lamb. </ research > so there you go! :D
there's no wiki mention of a kangaroo variety. and technically i've not used 'traditional' recipe, so it's not a real cottage pie.
i do like jackaroo pie though.
til next....
