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.

Weird, I keep reading your comment and yet the fact that 330,000,000 > 67,000,000 doesn't seem to be changing.
You might want to account for the number of people in respective countries that have a concept of what shepherds pie actually is.
There's 1+ billion Mandarin speakers that will tell you they live in
Zhōngguó, compared to those 330 million that say they live inChina. Which is right?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.
I'm in Ireland and 90% of the time I've had shepherd's pie it has been beef
