My seat-mate picked the Shepherd's Pie. Now in my mind, shepherd's pie is a pretty well defined dish - with liekly the only contention being whether it has to be made using lamb, or if beef can be used instead (which a purist would claim is actually a cottage pie).

What she was instead served was some form of triangular fold-over pasty-like pastry which took up maybe half of the plate and was waybe half an inch thick. Inside the two layers of pastry was a very small amount of mince. Nothing else on the main plate other than the pasty. It might have be suitable for a pre-landing snack, but even then I would have been unhappy with it. I'm hopeful this is a catering error on the first day of a new menu, as what was served certainly wasn't suitable for a PP main meal.
