All this talk of lamb reminded me of the shepherd's pie I made a little while ago. My friend bought a full lamb from the farm in our town, and gave me a few cuts.
I'm not sure what the cut was that I used, but I figured I would roast it in a drip pan so I could collect the drippings and make a ****ing kick ass Guinness gravy with it. I had some extra lamb bones I simmered in the gravy too.
on the top mashed potato layer there was fried bread crumbs I made, as well as an Irish Gouda-style aged cheese. Inside the mashed potato enclosure was the lamb, celery, red onion, carrots, garlic, and most of the gravy (I saved some to plate around the shepherds pie on the plate).
As usual I forgot to take any pics until I was done.

I meant to use green peas instead of corn, but I forgot them at home (I brought the dish over to a friends house to bake and they had corn).
My friends girlfriend even ate most of hers, and she was all about "I guess I'm not eating tonight if we're having lamb" I cook at their house a lot. she's so ****ing picky so I really got to dumb down stuff when I go there, but she actually liked this.
I'll take pics of my next lamb adventure. I got a bunch in the freezer yet. It will probably be a little while though.
