 The Irish Rovers, of "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "The Unicorn" fame, own a


 very successful "Old Country Pub" in Calgary, Alberta. Their Shepherd's Pie


 is justly famous. Vincent Lee, kitchen manager at the Unicorn says the


 recipe came directly from Ireland via the Irish Rovers more than 10 years


 ago.
