I'm with you there, as you say, it is all good. So many options, that is why I love making it. When I was young and poor and didn't have piles of venison, I used to buy these cheap frozen tubes of ground lamb - that made an awesome pie. You can add cheese to the potatoes (I don't' usually), you can herb and garlic the heck out of the meat (I don't always), make a gravy (sometimes do), etc... It all goes and is all good and each batch is different.
