Thanks for pointing that out Justin.
Sea Change- mixed herbs is a standard thing to get over here, most brands/supermarkets produce there own version of it. It usually consists of parsley, thyme, basil and marjoram. I shall add a note to that effect.
Low mince mince- I shouldn'y have thought that would be a problem- the only reason for pouring the fat off is to stop the pie going sloppy- without the fat, it won't get sloppy in the first place

Surely you mean low *fat* mince?

I don't think it's usual practise to have 'of' in the ingredients list - but if you *are* going to put it in, at least be consistent.
The note about mixed herbs seems to 'get in the way' a bit - perhaps turn it into a footnote, or move it into the method section? Visually it's a bit strange.
Other than that,

I have read it through again, and now it reads understandably. I can see myself making this, and I think it'd be a good addition to the Edited Guide.

Suprious 'of's removed, note about mixed herbs put in as a footnote.

Now you learn something new every day. I've always wondered wha the difference between cottage and Shepherd's pie was. Personally I always thought they were exactly the same
Ah well.

And I got my perception of the differences challenged- irritatingly the Reader's Digest cook book agrees with Justin

Woohoo! I was right!

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Oct 29, 2002
I just said it agreed with you, I didn't say it was right.
Anyway, one of my other books doesn't list cottage pie, but says eitehr lamb *or* beef mince for Shepperd's pie, and doesn't mention cheese, so to you too!

Potentially you're right in more ways than one Justin

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Oct 29, 2002
Yeah, well It's *my* recipe, an' I say it's cottage pie with cheese, and Shepperd's Pie without. So there. And if anyone disagrees with me I'm gonna take my ball away, so .

Actually originally it would be called cottage pie if you use beef mince and Shepherd's pie if you use lamb mince. So my tummy agrees with Justin...
but Kerravon has such a nice ball!
