I bet George Bush told you the French don't have a word for that.

People seem to be easily confused about shepherds, cowboys, sheep and
cows. Just look at the public reaction to the film Brokeback Mountain.
It was so controversial to have a movie about a gay love affair between
two cowboys. They weren't cowboys. They were shepherds, and people have
been cracking jokes about shepherds for years.

Oh there are a few i am sure. Especially the chocolate, desert or
'savoury" souffles, they are quite popular in some more upscale
restaurants. But as far as the finicky French egg white souffles go
they are not a common, everyday home cooked occurrence in the USA.

But there are a number of MOCK "souffles" using whole eggs that i have
ran across here and there but even they are not all that common.

According to the 1965 edition of the Larousse Gastronomique "The same
name [souffle] has been extended to include quite different
preparations, more like mousses or mousselines, served both hot and cold."

we are.

We are Queenslanders.

We're the people that they breed tough, north of the border.

We're the ones that they knock down, and we get up again."

My mother made it with beef and called it Shepherd's pie. Not only
that,she used leftover roast beef, not fresh ground. It was not until
this topic was discussed here about a year that I learned that
Shepherd's pie traditionally used lamb and that if beef is used it is
called Cottage pie.

Curiously, at that time, references all supported that, and it appears
that the Wikipedia article on Cottage pie was altered on just a few days
ago,


I realize that lots of people will only do enough research to find
something that supports their claim and will disregard any others. I
did searches for both Cottage pie and Shepherds pie and it I found an
incredible variety of recipes and views on the beef/lamb issue. While
some say that Shepherds pie is made with beef, lots of them say lamb,
some say wither, some say it was traditionally lamb, some say it was
cottage pie and when lamb was used they changed it to shepherd's pie.
One said that it used leftover meat.... which is what I was how I
remembered it as a kid.

Or someone who's life doesn't revolve around their perceived culinary
awareness

My mom called beef Shepards pie, she called spaghetti o's with hamburger
American Chop suey, and she called the boiled chicken or rock hard cube
steak, dinner

And was called "mock souffle" however if you look up the etymology of
souffle it is an appropriate term for the aforementioned recipe.

One can sufflare a cup of tea.

However many Americans call bread pudding

In your imagination perhaps, most americans don't use the term souffle
at all much less as a term for bread pudding.
