Just more proof that humans will eat anything they can either run down or catch....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Oh yeah. Yes, I would eat it! Heartily! Eel (prepared properly of course) is damned good! The old Baltic fisherman practically lived on eel. Sold the "better fish" for profit.
Haven't had any since I was a child, though.

Coincidentally,  I have some kraut relatives visiting this week, and they actually brought eel up while we were talking about fish. Little did I know that eel is big on the menu up Hamburg way these days. One of the most popular items at the fisherman's markets, apparently.
