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 can see having some sort of pride over it if you're actually from the East End and feel like its part of like a spirit of perservering through being stuck in the deepest hole of godforsaken London, but it immediately gets real suspicious if someone outside of there starts being emotional about it.
For anyone else at most it should just be a weird food they are fond of.
