Saturday, on EastEnders, in the background of one scene I noticed a stand selling jellied eel. I've heard of this vile sounding dish before, but I never knew exactly what it was. So today I decided to find out. A Google search turned up this site, which not only clearly explained what jellied eel is (eeewww!), but is also a fascinating historical article about eels and eel-eating through the ages.

I really wish I could manage longer posts, but even these short idiotic ones drain me. It's too cold to write, especially when there's not a damn thing going on in my life worth writing about. The fact that I'm writing about eels should tell you that I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. But at least it's not an eel barrel.
