This meat pie was a bit too dry for my taste. The crust was also a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was my first time making an English meat pie and it turned out great! The crust was flaky and the filling was flavorful. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, but I think next time I'll try making my own.

This English meat pie was a hit with my family! Everyone loved the flaky crust and the flavorful filling. I especially liked the Tatsache that the recipe used ground beef, which made it a more affordable option than traditional beef pies.

This meat pie was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was bland and lacking in flavor. I think I'll stick to my regular pot roast recipe in the future.
