And Scotch eggs
- mc32 6mo agoAnd Jellied eel, why not?
- tom_ 6mo agoPork pies and scotch eggs are widely-available savoury snacks in the UK, but jellied eels are not?
- Aromasin 6mo agoI want to make clear to the US folks here that there's about 2 or 3 cafes that still sell traditional eels, and it's explicitly a London food, not wider British cuisine. From the number of videos and articles I see about them though, you'd think the country was covered in Eel cafés. Honestly, covering them at all is tabloid ragebait content at this point.
- lproven 6mo agoCorrect. Pork pies even have a protected geographic designation now: https://www.mmppa.co.uk/ https://www.mmppa.co.uk/ Scotch eggs are a common, if old fashioned, pub snack and are sold in supermarkets. Jellied eels are a London thing, mainly poor areas of central East London, and very very rare even there now.
