Jellied Eels Are An Acquired Taste in London’s East End — Dining on a Dime

** As of now, G. Kelly is temporarily closed. Call to find out if they're open before you visit! **

In London’s working-class East End, in a neighborhood called Bow, is a shop that has stood since 1939 called G. Kelly. It specializes in a London classic, pie and mash, a much-beloved dish that incorporates a savory pie served with mashed potatoes.

Watch as Peterson tries this dish, historically popular with the blue-collar population, as well as another curious accompaniment: jellied eels. The eels are boiled and then combined with gelatin, and are a traditional food Peterson has never tried before -- watch as he enjoys this very singular dish!
