Oh God, I just googled 'jellied eels'; no offense to Anglos, but like just why? That looks horrifying.
No faulting for the Pie and mash though (cause I love savory pies), but this is a complete joke.
Also, I'm currently working abroad in the Middle East, and guess what: ooooh noooooo, people have replaced Salam Aleikum with good morning and hey how's it going, and rice and hummus with big macs and fried chicken. I mean I haven't noticed the local population being put out by it but I've really been meaning to convince them that actually they're supposed to be really upset about it because some guy on the internet is throwing a wobbly about it.
i think it's funny how british nationalism when it's not about defending the divine right of kings, is about how cool it is to be a lazy alcoholic.
liquor in this context isn't booze, its 'liquor sauce' which is a sort of herby, parsley bechamel (its usually quite thin and light for a bechamel)
Its quite nice - if you're going for a specialty london food I would definitely go for pie mash and liquor over fucking jellied eels
