Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Keep it simple. Finely diced carrots and/or swede, and season well (use both white and black pepper).
And it's called shepherd's pie because it's a lamb dish.
That's why the variety with beef, as eaten by cowherds, is called co...
No, wait...

Swedish Lamb? Never heard of it despite having lived in Sweden for 16 years. Normally lamb is seasoned with thyme and/or rosemary and garlic over here...

No idea where the name comes from, maybe it should be named French Lamb as it is all about the sauce and the frogs are famous for that in their cooking.

It sounds quite good actually... Coffee in the sauce, huh? Untipped, but would be quite interesting to try out. I would just want to make sure that it was good strong coffee!

Definitely. Just not so sure about the coffee![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

The coffee with the carrot and onion blended really makes a fabulous sauce. Make extra and it goes well with almost any meat

Onion, garlic, little bit of cumin. Skim off the fat - it's lamb, so it's fatty - add good quality stock, season well, and use the right potatoes. Rooster or Marabel are good choices. Slow cook the meat for four or more hours then let it cool completely before adding the mashed potato topping. If you don't, the potato dissolves into the gravy and it goes slushy. Sometimes, a good strong cheese grated on top to make it extra crunchy!

For Shepards Pie, I generally wing it - I've made it soooo many times over the years that I don't think about it - the important bits for me are a long, slow cook of the meat, and to taste as you go to adjust the seasoning. The amount of cumin is tiny - around 1/4 tsp per kilo of mince - not quite enough to taste, but just enough to bring up the flavour of the other ingredients. I also brown the meat dry, and the use the rendered fat from that to cook the onions and garlic.
But the ingredient quality is key: using cr@p mince will give a tasteless result, and getting the right potato makes a huge difference!
UK food was certainly dire for a long time - but now? There are over 150 Michellin starred restaurants in the UK, (heck there are 5 in Wales!), and there is some seriously good food being cooked here by "normal" people!

Quality ingredients...My mother always tells this story if someone ask her how her cooking is so tasty...
It's about a neighbor come to ask her to lend some vegetable soup powder, but mum told she has none...So the neighbor asked, how than she makes vegetable soup? She told: you may not believe, but I'm using vegetables... 
As for the pie...I had eaten three different kinds, where the only common was the lamb...One made it with pure meat, the others added vegetables too, one different kinds of root and the other green-peas, fresh corn and the like...
All was tasty, but in a different way...
I made my with a lot of fresh tomatoes cooked with the meat nearly 6 hours...Onion and cumin and a bit of bit cinnamon and peppers of 4-season (white, black, red and green)...

The Royal College of Nursing has weighed in on Prime Minister David Cameron's health care proposals for the junior doctors in the National Health Service.
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.
Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.
Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Paediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up."
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The Ear Nose and Throat specialists didn't swallow it, and just wouldn't hear of it.
The Pharmacists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter...."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
The Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, but the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the a*holes in Whitehall.

That is all I have to say, nothing more to add...
Although.. I do wonder why people are still using Oracle! 
I mean, if you hate MS, why not use MySql instead?

Their stock sure is; it got a beat down today.
We have our main stuff on Oracle and it doesn't bother me, though I prefer SQL Server. Some of our smaller applications use SQL Server. My biggest complaints with Oracle is that it is very finicky compared to SQL Server, those cryptic error messages don't help much, and there are compatibility issues with previous versions of .Net and Oracle. Also, SQL Developer and Toad are horrible IDEs; which doesn't make development as much fun as SQL Server.
