I have never met a single person in the UK who has ever eaten, wanted to eat, thought about eating, tried to eat, wanted to eat and/or regretted eating an eel. I'm 52. Lived in London for 15 years. Only weirdos in Essex who's 'old Nan' lived in pre-War East London will have ever touched an eel - lol. Terrifying.

I think it's really cool that they try to educate us in different traditions when it comes to food, but was I the only one who strongly missed a disclaimer saying that eels are seriously endangered? Endangered as in, this basicly equates to eating a tiger beef. Pandas are literally less endangered than any type of eels. Even farmed eels are from the wild, they are just caught as young and then brought up in facilities. Eels are not able to reproduce in captivity and are also on the verge of extiction. In other words, it's cool you have a tradition of eating them, but maybe put a disclaimer on the video, and people whi eat it - try to eat it as a delicacy and not just for the fun of it:)
