Dan Hansen's Pies

Thread Starter: David    Started: Wed 16 Apr 2003    Replies: 3

In the middle to late 50's, and possibly well before, Dan Hansen used to supply meat pies to the Fish & Chip shops in Swansea (and possibly the rest of South Wales). The pies were cooked in a pie dish and served one. The pastry was sheer bliss and the contents was beef in a rich, dark (almost black) peppery gravy. Eaten with chips in newspaper, this was absolute heaven. Then supplies seemed to stop!!! Does anyone else remember these pies? Are there any of the Hansen family around who have the recipe, and might I have a copy please?

The message from David posted in 2003 sent me right back to the 1960's, when in my teens I spent a great deal of my spare time on the beach at Langland. Lunch was nearly always a Dan Hansen pie! Yes they were delicious - then! Maybe as we change the taste would not suit now but ahhh!!! then!
