Guinness Irish Pie origins
Let’s hop on the time machine and go back to ancient Ireland. The Guinness Irish Pie, also known as Shepherd’s Pie, emerged from the creative minds of cooks who were looking to make the most of leftover meat from other preparations. When the economy was more than a choice and was a mode of survival, people found very ingenious ways to make the most of their provisions.
Sheep farming and cattle were essential parts of rural Irish life, and it was natural to use them in gastronomy. The Shepherd’s Pie, with its tender layers of meat, became synonymous with the beauty of Irish livestock farming. Every bite transports you to the green hills of Ireland.
As Irish immigrants carried the recipe with them across oceans, the popularity of the pie skyrocketed. It became a connection to the homeland they left behind.
