Another question about the eels. Are they jellied eels like in gelatin or like in pectin and sugar?

They're boiled in stock and when it cools down, it forms a jelly.

Eels produce their own kind of jelly but I'd guess they probably add gelatine if they're mass-producing it.

Kinda like when you boil cow femurs it makes gelatin?

Indeed. Can't say I've ever fancied trying jellied eels myself though, they look revolting...

I've accepted I'll never be a proper Londoner because of my aversion to them.

I don't think anyone's in danger of having to watch me eat them. I have no idea where to even begin to find an eel.

I guess it makes a hot date though.

Are you even from London?

No, that's what I mean, no matter how long I stay here, I'll never be able to class myself as a Londoner.

I think that's somehow put me off even more.

Typically, the eels are chopped (shucked) into rounds and boiled in water and vinegar, to make a fish stock, with nutmeg and lemon juice before being allowed to cool. The eel is a naturally gelatinous fish so the cooking process releases proteins, like collagen, into the liquid which solidify on cooling to form a jelly, though gelatin may be added in order to aid this process.

Most people would be pleased that they'd never be considered a Londoner.

 

Even I wouldn't take somebody eel fishing on a date... That's just plain odd.

You don't want a lapful of eels??

This sounds way better than the 70s style jello salad I was picturing in my head.

It's every girl's dream, I know, but I'm very peculiar at times.

You have no idea how much this always creeps me out. I spent a good hour the other day sending snapchats to my friend where I'd drawn on myself to look like Mighty Boosh characters. I make a better crack fox than Hitcher.

It took me MONTHS to realize that tentacle porn made with real people would be bestiality.

Were you actually thinking about it for months? Because that would be rather odd...

Well, I'm not psychic. How am I supposed to find it if I don't know what it is?

They're called faggots lol

You guys are pretty lax with your language around here lol.

 

Anyway, yes. Get a bunch of offal; heart, liver, etc. usually pork but a variety of meat is better, mince it. Wrap it in breadcrumbs, onion, herbs and spices. Roll them into balls, then wrap the balls with caul (it's a membrane that's wrapped around the organs) then bake it. 

 

Quick and easy.

Why wouldn't we be? She had no intention to insult anyone.

Like Elin said, I wasn't trying to offend anyone!! It's just the name of the food ^^

 

And if you look around this forum is mostly bad language and sex jokes lmao

I made Cristen and the girls the legendary British delicacy of beans on toast the other day. She and I even had ours with marmite on the toast, and I dashed a generous amount of Worcestershire sauce into the beans.

Flawless.
