-One thing about eels

00:02

A lot of people see these as snakes and all the rest of them-- Well, they're not.

00:05

Very very nutritious

00:06

Very easily digested

00:08

And they're supposed to be an aphrodisiac.

00:11

What are you smiling at?

00:22

Pie and Mash is very traditional,

00:24

especially in the East End.

00:26

I would think that mostly because

00:28

it was a very very cheap and quick meal.

00:31

It was possibly one of the very first fast foods

00:36

Where you could walk in,

00:37

order your food,

00:39

Apparently in 1862,

00:49

00:51

with the mash potato

00:53

and parsley sauce, the liquor

00:55

00:58

01:05

I've been over South London

01:07

and they're not the same as this

01:10

This is the original.

01:15

- This little rubber thumb stall,

01:18

is because in the middle of the eel,

01:20

there's bones.

01:21

And if you are unlucky--

01:22

It doesn't happen all the time,

01:23

you put your thumb in,

01:24

and the bone goes up your thumb, which is a lot of fun

01:27

But it does double as a wart, which is very handy.

01:31

So I got some eels here that I'm gonna prepare
