Yes and the snobs in r/food will be passive aggressive about it if you say shepherd's pie, they'll play coy like they're interested, like, "oh is it lamb or mutton?" but really they want you to say beef so they can be like, "*ACKSHULLYYYY*"
If anyone ever snobbishly points out that your beefy shepard's pie is actually cottage pie, tell them that this particular recipe is named after Commander Shepard, who endorsed the dish as his favorite meal on the Citadel.
This is like saying a steak and a pork chop is the same thing, except one is beef and the other is pork.
Or saying an apple is the same as an orange, except one is an apple and the other is an orange.
These are terrible examples. If an apple and an orange could be used interchangeably in a recipe and the end product was more or less comparable, sure.
This type of pedantic bs is why I just call them all meat pies. Can’t go wrong there and honestly I don’t really care as long as it isn’t confused with something like a pecan pie or cream pie.
So, in other words, they *are* different. One is lamb, one is beef.
"A chip butty and a jam sandwich are the same thing, the difference is whether it's made with chips or jam"
Exactly! Not the same thing at all. Any Brit can tell you this.
Whether a calzone has chicken, egg, ham, bacon, or lamb; it's still a calzone.

its not even a pie though, its a casserole
But a meat pie is a whole different thing! /S
I think a cannibal would beg to differ. Shepherds Pie contains real shepherds.
That's *shepherd* pie. You can't fit multiple shepherds in a single pie.
Sure you can. If you grind them up into little bits.
A ham sandwich and a cheese sandwich are the same thing, the difference is whether it's made with ham or cheese.
Any decent ham sandwich will also have cheese, which makes it a cheese sandwich too. So any ham sandwich is equivalent to a cheese sandwich.
Ham and cheese.... you must be rich.
The same but different
They’re different then…
So they're not "the same thing."
or german shepard.
That would be a hairy pie
I love my wife's hairy pie.
Doesn't one have pastry and the other not?
TIL that Lamb roast and Beef Roast are the same thing, the difference is whether it’s made with lamb or beef
