I used to hate jellied eels, but recently I’ve come around to them. It’s a working class meal using the natural resources that were available to them. And although it sounds horrible, it’s literally just boiled eel with spices, vinegar and lemon, often served with parsley sauce. It can’t be that bad.
Well yeah. Tbh freshwater eels are so endangered idk if I’d eat one even if I had the option. But culinarily I don’t think jellied eels are the worst thing in the world, and the history of the dish is a working class history

Can’t any more because of The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) population has declined by 98% since 1980
