This london food challenge has been around the a number of years and is liekly one of the most well known and famous, with thousands of attempts to get the £16 meal for free. The rules are if you can eat the meal in 20 minutes you technically "beat the challenge" but you get no real prize.

As a Londoner (from the East End) you could find jellied eels pretty much anywhere years ago. I was never really a fan of them, however, you HAVE to try smoked eel if you ever get the chance. Cockles, Winkles, Mussels and Whelks were also popular. I always found whelks a bit too chewy but Cockles, Mussels and winkles are really nice.

This is a meal that was meant to fill up working class dock workers in the very specific South East of London. It would be pie and mash as well as jellied eels, which were super common in the river. It's a super cheap meal, hence its blandness as it's very basic ingredients.

[@RomeoMike22]

Is seasoned food still seen as a luxury?

[@Tommy24552]

@@RomeoMike22 These restaurants are literally only for tourists and still some of the working class in London. Normal people in London do not go there and eat this for lunch, it's kept this way to remain traditional for tourists.

[@Tommy24552]

@@RomeoMike22 no, they are run by families that have owned them for decades, they keep it the same way because that's how it is. That's the dish. If you change it, it becomes a different dish.
