Its of course not about changing the product, just using the

and always did, just a lot of people are using one name for both,
which is unhelpful.

I have seen a beef shepherds pie in the supermarket. I tried to
send a sarky email to the manufacturer, but no contact email on
website and I cant be bothered with a letter :-)
