I have no idea where the name originated from, all I know is that it is excellent when you do not want to make a pastry. It's like a cobbler type topping. I use this when I make steak and kidney pie. Whatever you use it for, make sure that you do make it with sufficient gravy as the pastry tends to soak it up. Yummy!!!!
