Hi, Last fall when I went to Germany,. My brother-in-law got some smoked eel. I first passed on it, but they talked me in to try a piece of eel. I could not skin it or cut the head off. ( I am a chicken, when I se any thing cooked with the head still on. I was surprised how good the meat of the eel was. It is not some thing I would eat every day. But the best thing after the meal was the "Jägermeister", that is a drink, that you digest the fat meat better. The eel has a lot of fat. I was told in Germany if you go out some were to party eel or sardines will coat your stomach. You body will not take the alcohol very much and you can drink all night long, and not even get drank. now sails is the worsted thing for me to eat, or when I watch some one who eats them.

It is not in the thought about the smelly fish... I tried to be brave and took a weaving class from a German lady in Denver, actually Wheatridge and she served herring in sour cream for lunch, I tried believe me I tried and it was horrible..and I think it might stem back to my Dad going to Lake Michigan when the smelt ran and came home with tons of smelt and we are smelt till it came out of our ears, but still there was that keg of pickled herring at Christmas.....

Hi Katharina, Just what is Jägermeister? Is it a drink that can be made at home? Or is it store bought? Just curious. Does anyone have a Jägermeister story to tell?
