    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    According to Food Timeline, the British were eating meat pies as far back as the Middle Ages, but when potatoes were introduced to England in 1520 it paved the way for the modern shepherd's pie. It is estimated that the dish was invented sometime in the 1700s by English or Scottish housewives looking for ways to use leftover ingredients.
