Extreme Eels

Extreme Eels:

"The Japanese grill them, the Dutch smoke them, while the English pack them into little pots of jelly or bake them in fragrant pies. Why then do many Australians shrink in horror at the idea of a meal prepared from eel?"

Because they are disgustingly horrible, that's why! I don't care how much parsley and garlic you put on them. They are pure squidge. Fragrant? Pungent, more likely.
