eel pie

L Manze has been selling jellied and hot eels from the same premises in Walthamstowe since 1928. After walking the length of Europe's longest street market, I had eel pie with mash and a gloopy parsley sauce, at a marble table in one of the booths created by wooden partitions, admiring the art-nouveau tiled interior. The pie was nothing special, just a tasteless brown filling between two layers of pastry.
