Shits not even popular outside of london, i bet most havent even heard of this shit, also traditional british food is hardly “dying off”, another stupid headline
What are the odds that journalist hasn’t even tried jellied eels themselves? You can’t get it outside of the East End or the parts of Essex those people relocated.
I would need to drive about about 2 hours to get some.

I think the eels are actually more alive then
Silly Millennials. Too busy chewing their delicious kale to notice that this should be the next hype.
Wonderful!
They’ve mostly heard of them and I would expect more so than previous generations were aware of them because pie and mash etc gets peppered on media channels.
The problem is, they are jellied eels. Jellied. Eels.
Not only that, they are worse than you might imagine if you are used to things like flavour, pleasant mixtures of texture and bones that don’t eviscerate your gums.
But sure, a splash of vinegar and it’s a classic.
Jellied Eels.
Please make sure no one attempts to revive it.
My dad’s family is very cockney. I was forced to eat these abominations at every family gathering. Imagine a flavorless jelly texture that smells like fish, then the resistance of the meat finally the crunch of bone and then the soft innards. 😕
What the fuck is wrong with you Barry?
Jellied eels sounds like something out of the Geneva Convention.
London once again single handedly eroding what little credibility this nation has left.
🤢🤮
Jellied eels were dead well before Gen Z on account of them being disgusting.
Thank you Brits for taking all the blame for shitty north sea food.
Thank god millennials stopped killing businesses, it’s other generations turn now.
Do the brits do this shit on purpose?
Eels in jelly?
Do they hate life and everything that is holy?
Jokes aside it is always sad to see traditional cuisine and culture die out in real time. Not happening just in England but everywhere.
Every time I go back to my native village I notice less and less people speaking Furlan for instance.
That’s not even food.. Might as well start eating dog shit if you classify this as food.
What the fuck is wrong with you Barry.
Sincerely,
Pierre
Isn’t this a… good news?
Another thing that died out recently in London Fields was a traditional pie and liquor place (also did jellied ells), I love me a pie, but by gum it wasn’t good.
This might be why
“What is Cockney liquor made of?
This is commonly called “liquor sauce” or simply “liquor” (liquor as in a liquid in which something has been steeped or cooked), traditionally made using the water kept from the preparation of the stewed eels. However, many shops no longer use stewed eel water in their parsley liquor.”
Never seen them. Never tried them.
Noone here eats jellied eels. We only make them to sell to stupid tourists.
wtf is that unholy broth? looks like what someone would feed to their pig that they raised as a dog
Waste of eel. They are supposed to be smoked or fried or grilled.
Don’t try it though. It’s expansive enough as it is. Crazy that people with access to eel choose to jelly them.
This is survival food. It can only survive when people are dying in hunger.
I’m GenX and I wouldn’t eat that shit. Boomers got to accept it’s not the post war ration period anymore.

Stewed eel is much nicer tbh
I’m glad it’s dying out. It’s fucking awful.

Yeah I said it, fight me.
And Jesus wept.

“Jellied eel supplier” is a job in Barry’s land?
The Japanese do eel right. Why can’t the British?
