I'm curious to know whether the quote dates from before, or
after he became vegetarian.

I also think I know why I assume a vegetarian cottage pie is
a normal sort of thing -- much of the time I have spent in the
U.K. was duing the bovine encephalopathy scare, and many
people quit eating beef; and so while a shepherd's pie would still
have lamb, a cottage pie would often be vegetarian. I
see where Tesco, etc. have "vegetarian cottage pies".
But no "vegetarian shepherd's pies".
