Talk:Shepherd's pie

“Enjoying that shepherd? It had a mummy and daddy.”

Since I haven’t read the novel, I don’t know who says it, so I was placed in the unfortunate position of being forced to remove another fine user’s work completely. You, Danochy, are welcome to re-add your contribution if you can clarify which character says it rather than treating it as word of God. Also, Shambala108, LauraBantham either of you got anything to add to this? I’m all ears. Well, not literally obviously, but I could be, but I digress, the point is, I’m listening....

There is no requirement to state which character makes the claim. The citation is sufficient to allow the comment. Shambala108 ☎ 02:33, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

That is fine then, but only if one doesn’t suggest that this line means that sheperd’s pie certainly contains no shepherds in the DWU. We simply can’t know either way. NightmareofEden ☎ 02:39, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the rewrite! This seems pretty definitive! NightmareofEden ☎ 03:21, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

Just pointing out, grammatically speaking, shepherd's pie means "pie belonging to a shepherd". So no, shepherd's pie isn't made of shepherds (that would be shepherds pie or shepherd pie). Shambala108 ☎ 04:35, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

Well, it’s no difference from apple’s pie, chicken’s pie, chocolate’s pie, rabbit’s pie, mince’s pie, etc.NightmareofEden ☎ 04:41, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

None of those things exist in the DWU (or at least we don't have articles for them). Shambala108 ☎ 04:49, April 25, 2020 (UTC)
