I mean, eel meat probably tastes the same whether it comes from the moat around your ancestral castle or a lab... right? 😂
@janallmac Eel in many forms was very common as an inexpensive protein until pretty recently. Jellied eels was (and still is?) a popular local "delicacy" in and around London. Particularly associated with the East End and "Cockney" culture.
I'd say it's only really fallen out of favour in the last fifty or so years.
@estherschindler 🤨 Hm Well, OK, I think the Tudors ate eel meat. 🤔
