Shepherd's pie and cottage pie are two entirely different dishes.

Shepherds pie is a lamb (suprise, suprise) mince, traditionally made  
w/out vegetables 
other than onions, and has a mashed potato topping.
Cottage pie is usually beef mince and may contain vegetables from a 
cottage garden; eg carrots, peas, etc.  It often has a sliced potato 
topping rather than a mashed potato one.

And I'm not even going to begin on the old "they have chips with 
everything myth".

next time you're in the UK, I'll give you my restaurant 
recommendations, that is all.
