Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

Because they're just, well, they slither everywhere, I know.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

But then my grandma would cook them, honestly.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

This was, you know, back in the early 70s, I guess.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

So he'd catch the eels, keep them in the bath, then grandma would go and get them.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

She'd cook them and we'd walk into the kitchen, the smell of eels.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

Jellied eels.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

No, no.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

When people talk about eels being a delicacy now, I just can't get past the bath.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

Yeah.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

There you go.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

It's making my tummy turn a little bit at the moment.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

And I'll eat anything, to be honest with you.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

I remember once someone making me some razor clams.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

You know, they're razor clams that come up and down out of the sea.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

And I said to them, I really just would like to say I'd really rather not eat this because I don't know why.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

There's just something about knowing that they make that strange movement where they come up and down out of the sand.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

I don't know whether they're physically coming up and down or whether the tide's going in and the sand's going down, but

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

I don't know why we even talk about this.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

It's making me feel sick now.

Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball
90: The Jackie Annual and Bathing with Eels

And I ate the razor clams, to be polite, and I was so ill.
