'''Jellied eels''' are [[eel]]s cooked for approximately half an hour and allowed to cool. The juices then solidify forming the jelly. Sometimes [[gelatine]] is added. Jellied eels are often eaten with chili [[vinegar]].
The dish is an [[East End of London]] delicacy, often sold with [[pie and mash]]. They are no longer commonly eaten in London, but can still be found, especially around the East End. They are also stocked in Harrods. [http://www.pilotguides.com/destination_guide/europe/england/jellied_eels.php].
In [[Italy]], a similar dish is known simply as ''Anguilla'' ("eel"), in [[France]], it is known as ''Aspic D'anguille''.
Jellied eel is often taken as a cold appetizer.
