I don't mind eels
Except at meals.

reminds me of a movie where this guy was fishing for eels with a horse head. GAK! Can't remember the name of the movie ...

I have had to fight to get some recent images to open, this one included.
I think I may have finally gotten it by enabling third party cookies.
Why should the IOTD need third party cookies?

I don't think this is anything Cellar-related. The image is hosted on cellar.org so there are no third parties involved.

Despite all the progress of feminism, eel catching remains a male-dominated industry, and now we know why.

It's the glass eeling, folks, and it is time to change.


I'm here till Sunday. Try the unagi.

It doesn't seem right to refer to them as seafood when you cannot see them.

I'd be afraid to touch them. What if they break?
