It's Eelectric


Was talking with my co-worker today when she mentioned that over the weekend she had gone out to eat with her husbands family for his father's birthday. And what could possibly provide more wholesome family fun than munching on one of Korea's most celebrated aphrodisiacs, fresh water eel?
I've had eel on a number of occasions, enough times to know that if I ever come across one of those wiggling worms of a fish on the end of my fishing line, I'd bite the hook first.

Eel is prepared de-boned and boiled, and seasoned with  a mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce, and sugar. The taste is incredibly gamey, and the skin is particularly oily and rubbery. However, if your a man and it's summer time, eel is a nutritional requirement due to the wondrous surges in stamina supposedly bestowed upon consumers. I didn't notice any profound side effects, other than a diminished bank account. Eel is not cheap, in fact it's one of the few booming businesses in the economic wasteland that is North Korea.. If your eel-ated coworkers goad you into giving it a try, be a bottom-feeder and make sure they'll be picking up the tab.
