mojomonkey Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Just because she's quicker than you. Actually I checked it earlier out of interest but didn't see the point of posting the answer. Just how many constitutes a surfeit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how many constitutes a surfeit? If they're anything like jellied eels, about one would be too much Mingin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I like jellied eels, you have to eat them with loads of white pepper, a dash of vinegar and some fresh white bread. Have to say everything else that accompanies this cockney delicacy is minging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 jellied eels are great! - the dried ones you can buy in Eastern Europe are somewhat offputting however - guess they need stewing - maybe our Prague resident can report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie mash and "liquor" "liquor" being some kind of green runny stuff which I never had the courage to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 No, not the pie and mash, never tried it and never wanted to. The liquor is a very thin parsley sauce I am told. The mash still has the eyes from the spuds and the pies contain some unidentified meat product. But jellied eels from any of the numerous seafood stalls around London are wonderful.

cheeky boy Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Apparently smoked conger eel used to be sold at the farmers mart years ago It would keep for ages and be used to add a bit of flavour to stews The bloke who lived in the old stone tholtan on Garwick beach used to catch & smoke them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Aren't lampreys rather a different species to eels, or their offspring elvers that are commonly jellied??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
