> I would not buy a pie or any home prepared food from somebody I didn’t know. For all I know their “children”, meaning pets, have free run of the kitchen. I’ve seen it. No thank you.
I understand the sentiment, but... would you buy a pie or food from say a diner that you’d never visited before?
Of course you would. How is that different?
The small distinction is that diners are inspected and I doubt that many of them have pets running loose in the kitchen.
If the diner is clean and has their licenses, including their health inspections, yes. If it’s not clean, no. If you only know what lurked in some kitchens you wouldn’t ever eat out.
