Talk:Jellied eels

East End?
Since when did the east end have the monopoly on Jellied Eels? The oldest Pie, Eel & Mash shop is in Southwark SOUTH east 1 Cheers, Lion King 14:23, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The article says that the oldest extant pie, eel, and mash shop began in 1902, when it appears that Goddard's opened in 1890. Is this a misunderstanding? 70.114.160.136 (talk) 05:40, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

I think you'll find the East End of London to be tradtionalised with the Jellied Eel since day dot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.135.177 (talk) 16:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

=Eastendeuropean= I've read somewhere that the dish was brought to London by central/eastern-european jews who migrated to the east end.. Any comfirmation on this from any source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.228.201.179 (talk) 21:50, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

NOT (only) an English dish
Jellied eels are known in the Nordic countries since centuries. So the dish is not / not only a traditional English dish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.255.202 (talk) 15:16, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it would be bettter to say Atrantic countries cuisine. OTOH Japanese also eat jellied eels, not this kind ones, but with different preparation and different seasonings. see https://delishkitchen.tv/recipes/309508599950869579 for instance. --Aphaia (talk) 07:51, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
