>Not sure about jellied eels though we might have to talk about that.
Jellied Eels have always been just a London thing, I doubt anybody outside of London has ever even eaten them. ( I haven't but I would not give up the opportunity to try them) Even today there are probably less than a handful of obscure London cafes that still serve them.
It may come as a shock to you but London isn't full of 'Happy-go-lucky-Pearly King-wienerneys' anymore, it's more like downtown Islamabad.
You jelly one eel and it's all "ugh, british food amirite" but the nips just serve up an uncooked radioactive fish and that's the height of culinary fashion. Frick you.

Quite sad really.
Eels were very popular all over england up until around Henry 8th as the monasteries controlled most of the agruculture land and eel fishing is easy, but he dissolved them and modernised farming (modern for the time).
London, Ely and a few other industrial cities knots it going as they used the channels for transporting coal up until the train lines got laid mid industrial revolution.
Jellied eels were the last hurrah for eel eating and were somewhat popular in London only.
Nobody eats eels regularly and I did once plan to try it on a trip to London, but couldn't find anywhere that served it.
you truly have to go to an old fashioned pie and mash shop to get some. there's a place near me that I've been meaning to go to for a while but just never really got around to it
they used to sell them in big tubs at supermarkets here for dirt cheap too, but lack of demand means they don't anymore

Nice of you to give me a History lesson but you are Wrong!
The subject was Jellied Eels and you failed to acknowledge that this was was just a localised 'London Thing'
I have eaten Eel before (back in the late 1970's early 1980's) when they were quite populous, which is not the case now. I live near an estuary where elvers are caught (some legally and some illegally) and this led to a rapid decline of Eels in English waters, to the extent they are now classed as 'Critically Endangered'.
a good winter meal. a bit like the dutch classic boerenkool stamppot met rookworst, spekjes en jus or "kale/potato mash with smoked sausage, bacon and gravy"

Looks comfy as frick. Wish we had that in the states. I wish we had your crazy take away, fry up boxes too.
Too much Indian food in them
I think we do have that though. Since OP made it himself, you could do the same.
British food has its high points. Bangers and mash are one of those.

>boerenkool stamppot met rookworst
Dutch really is a joke language
CHIPS AND PEAS AND GREHVY
AND CHICKEN VINDALOO
fokkin oath
Just add some crisps and Earl Grey tea and we have a grand British Feast.
holy based, food of warriors and great minds alike
Amazing
Looks good but your sprouts are overcooked and boiling them is the worst prep. Try oven roasting/pan frying next time. Also, season your peas, Brit.
