Ah yes, eel in rectum, beats syrup of figs every time...

Oh it's terrible. The old folk remedied aren't the same these days, are they ?
 
I have to wonder how it would feel on the prostate.
 
I'm not going there, reading that. No way.

It wasn't an electric eel, was it?
 
Just in case anybody's hungry...

Eels In Piquant Sauce
4 lb Eel
1 tb Olive oil
1 tb Paprika
2 c Hot water
3 Garlic cloves; chopped
14 Blanched almonds
2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 ts Saffron
Salt to taste


Clean eel thouroughly if you have been sticking it up your ass. Skin eel and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a casserole or skillet, add paprika, and stir in enough water to cover eel. Bring to a boil and add pieces of eel. Meanwhile with a mortar and pestle or in an electric blender crush garlic, almonds, parsley, and saffron with enough olive oil to make a smooth paste. Stir mixture into casserole, add salt to taste, and cook for about 20 minutes or until eels are done. Add more water if sauce thickens. Serve hot.
 
I loved this comment posted below the totally gross story:

:D
 
My eyes have been exposed to both terror and abomination, my memory has been stained by visceral imagery that once witnessed, cannot be unseen.
 
True, but . . . did it work?

:eek:

Valid question.

I wonder if it was something akin to "I know an old woman who swallowed a fly..." Which makes me wonder two things:

A) what did the Eel go in after?

B) What was going in to get the Eel?

Answers:

A) The gerbil.

B) I imagine it was something like a tug-of-war with a pair of burly hospital orderlies. How's that for a mental image?
