In the UK butchers, mince refers to ground raw beef (or lamb mince,
means ground raw lamb).

That Wiki article had enough cites to choke a horse; so if anybody
wants to dispute what it says, they can take it up with Wiki. AFAIC
the article is correct about the folk etymology angle too.

A shepherd is "a person who tends sheep", but beef is our bias - so if
you're American, you're likely to get beef not lamb. We even fought
range wars over the beef or sheep thing because the cattle people
thought sheep stripped all vegetation cattle could eat from the land.

probably right, but you really want to clear land you should bring in
some goats.

I have never had one fail and I don't even use a recipe. I just fake
them and they always turn out. I have made them with various type dsof
cheese, seafood, and gran marnier.

They should have a different name, but no one has come up with it yet.
The end result is (should be) lighter than a bread pudding.

The one we had the other day was delicious and I have to say that I have
been disappointed not to have had the rest re-heated. APparently that is
for tomorrow night.

Made with beef it's typically called Cottage Pie

Sounds tasty! The last time I had shepherd's pie was at a restaurant
downtown. It's not the kind of thing I expect to see on a menu but they get
a bit creative at this place from time to time. It was one of the lunch
specials that day. I'll have to pick up some lamb and make this myself
soon... after I fix my oven, of course. Thanks for the idea!

That's the sort of reply one gets from a lippy teenager who ignores the
correction and remains ignorant!

Leave it to the ENglish to get up set over accent. Though one time i
grossed out an old english couple sitting next to me in a restaurant
when i picked up my hamburger in my hands. They were visibly stocked
and made an ostentatious point of asking for a knife and fork to eat
theirs with.
