John Croucher, the head chef at the Crewe Arms in the Northamptonshire village of Hinton-in-the-Hedges. He served a shepherd’s pie at a church harvest supper at a village pub. However, that meal ended with a tragedy.<o:p></o:p>

The shepherd’s pie, which was filled with mince and been prepared in an incorrect manner, caused serious food poisoning to 32 people. Out of these 32 people, a 92-year-old healthy Elizabeth Neuman, reportedly died after eating the pie.

Thirty one other people became unpleasantly ill and kept vomiting. Three people from the congregation escaped this tragedy as they were vegetarians and had, thus, not consumed the pie.<o:p></o:p>

"On 8 October 2018, 35 villagers went to the Crewe Arms for a harvest meal. Thirty-two people ate the shepherd’s pie. A healthy and well person died of a gastrointestinal haemorrhage induced from vomiting. No sentence I pass can reflect the loss caused to the family," said the judge, Sarah Campbell.<o:p></o:p>

"Croucher was the chef that night. The mince was not cooked properly and was placed into a pan with iced water. Croucher needed to leave, so put the mince in cling film and put it in the fridge overnight. Having left it, he cooked it again and added warm mashed potato. He did not take the temperature when it was served," she added.

The chef has been charged with a four month jail sentence and has been suspended for a year on the charges of serious food regulations.<o:p></o:p>

"I hate to say it, I really hate to say it, but I think I was rushed. I was rushing," Croucher admitted. "Remorse is an understatement. This is something I will never forget. Because of it, I am a better chef and it is just a shame the cost of it had to be what it was."<o:p></o:p>

Pi day is an annual celebration of the &pi; (pi) defined as the ratio of a circle&#39;s circumference to its diameter.

The day is celebrated on March 14th of every year as the&nbsp;digits of the date&nbsp;are same as first three digits of &pi; which are 3,1,4.

The Pi is&nbsp;approximately equal to 3.14159 and is represented by the Greek letter &quot;&pi;&quot;.

Mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse is largely considered to be the first to calculate and determined that Pi was around 22/7.

The pi day is associated with pie and is observed around the world by mathematicians and scientists by eating and throwing pie; as the pi and pie are homophones in English.

The earliest known official or large-scale celebration of Pi Day was organized by Larry Shaw in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium museum, where Shaw worked as a physicist, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies.&nbsp;

Pi day coincides with scientist Albert Einstein&#39;s birthday; Princeton University of New Jersey, America, hosts numerous events in a combined celebration of both days.
