My family are from East End of London. I remember in the 60s visiting my Nan with my father (she lived in an old prefab next to Stratford railway sidings)....she'd feed us pie, mash and liqor. The liqor is, as you say, parsley sauce, but it should be made with the broth the eels have been boiled in! I hated the taste of it. Nan always told us pie should be served top down so all the liqor soaks into the crust. I last had pie, mash and liqor in 1985 at Walton on the Naze.....my last ever meal with my father. I live in Sheffield now. Don't get that here. I'd rather have pie, mash and gravy (Yorkshire style)...and mushy peas. Never had eel. The smell always put me off too. You did well. Thaa did reyt. 🙂😆

in my earliest childhood here in berlin, germany, there was eel in aspic: it was a poor man's meal. Today that doesn't exist anymore - but there are herring in jelly in bulk. and it is always important how you prepare it! here in england you have a lot of oddities that your english friends didn't know either - but if you go somewhere else together - you'll be confronted with them! we europeans always say: the british don't have a kitchen and no kitchen culture: i can confirm that - i have old time-life books, back then from holland: they didn't manage to fill a single book with recipes - so they did that expands: the cuisine of the british isles: there are recipes elsewhere, good enough. nevertheless the book turned out very narrow! is amazing: when i was in london for the first time- i didn't notice it- because in london's kensington hilton there was a japanese restaurant- with very good food! I only noticed that on my later visits - also that my English friends at the time - couldn't really cook! you do something! without any real culture! admittedly, i also like to eat red jam on cheese rolls! is not culture: but it tastes good! that's with them, like- I'll eat that and then that.... correct food culture just does not look like that! but what is real food? other diseases too! Back when I was a small child, you ate what was there! so i had to cookin england: which isn't difficult, because you actually get everything you need to cook well! I was then accused of being French cuisine - I took it with humor: a country that has so many types of cheese - so much regional food culture - yes, the French certainly influenced us too! today lidl and aldi do it: bad, bad - but you can eat that too! :-) So I would eat it - definitely try it! That's what traveling is for - you educate yourself! and get to know other people and their cultures! no one would eat something like that here: these are people who say, just by looking at them - no, i don't eat that! neglected through and through! respect!

Weird how you can have eel grilled Japanese style and it’s absolutely delicious with a wonderful meaty texture. And the sauce is heavenly….I think it’s the preparation of these eels that’s lacking….having them the grilled style is like two totally different things you are eating.

Absolutely love pie n mash! Never tried jellies eels though. My 2 fave pie n mash shops in London closed down many years ago. Loved the tiled walls and the high backed wooden benches and marble topped tables. I make my own spicy vinegar and liqor now. The pastry is trickier. I use lard. I know it's bad for the body but it's good for the soul. Think I'll pop into Manzes on my next trip home. I was born in London 63 years ago but have lived in Cheshire for 20 years. The last time I had rock salmon was from a London chippy. Really hard to find now. Now I'm hungry!

When I was a lad in Wales in the 60s and 70s the local Italian café served a steamed pie, basically they had a stainless steel pie shaped container with a hinge on the top and a Bakelite handle, they would pop the pie in and then stick it under the steam froth maker on their coffee machine, they were stunning, I often wonder if it was just that Italian café that did it or was it a national thing?
