Thread Name: BS: Should live eels be kept in the fridge?
Subject: RE: BS: Should live eels be kept in the fridge?
I am having flashbacks to my childhood - Chinese food cartons full of seaweed and huge bloodsuckers, a mysterious bag from which a smoked eel the size of Moby Dick dropped out the bottom.

Anyone remember the scene from "Anatomy Of A Marriage"? She, pregnant, is served a huge portion of eel stew by her soon to be ex-husband. He insists she not waste "good" food. She and the audience gag down a few of the slimy beasts and everyone runs for the bathrooms. I am getting sick just thinking about it.
No living creatures in my refrigerator! And yes - that includes live yoghurt cultures!
