Seaside and Jellied Eels

Yesterday we had a lovely day at the seaside.  You may find that a good long walk in the sea air helps you to sleep really well at night.  That aside, one of the things you would expect to see at any self respecting seaside resort here in England is a stand selling seafood with cockles, muscles, winkles and the like along with some good old Jellied Eels.  Now Jellied Eels actually come from an English freshwater eel.  My husband has Cockney roots and so when we go to the seaside he Has to have some.  So if you're ever in a good English seaside resort and are feeling brave give them a go.

Jellied eels are a traditional English dish that originated in the 18th century, primarily in the East End of London. The dish consists of chopped eels boiled in a spiced stock that is allowed to cool and set, forming a jelly. It is eaten cold.
