Read moreGot food poisoning for the 3rd time because of the meat pie. Uncooked and soft "tartar" like. The reason why I say 3rd time is because I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, oh it's the tomatoes oh it's something else oh it's just me. But nope, it is the meat pie.

Also, the quality of the pies have declined drastically and it seems they have started cheaping out because the prices have gone up but the amount of meat or cheese you get on the pies have decreased. So it makes no sense why it would even be more expensive if you’re putting less...
