When David Beckham moved to Real Madrid in 2003, what was it about England he admitted to missing the most? The clothes shops? The hairdressers? No — it was good old jellied eels. This dish — as symbolic of London’s East End as Pearly Kings and Queens — has been around since the 18th century. It consists of fresh eel slices, boiled in herbs and vinegar and served in their own jelly, usually with mashed potato and peas. East London used to boast scores of jellied eel and pie and mash shops, and although most did not survive into this century, a few are still going. Jellied eels can still be bought from fish stalls in some English seaside resorts.
