If you're fresh out of Eels ready for jellying, look in the pantry or freezer for some Pilchards or Sardines you can bake up into this lovely "Stargazey Pie," a Cornwall invention that NEEDS POPULARIZING here in the USA. A pie made from scratch out of whole fish, hard-boiled eggs, mustardy bacon, and fish-scented custard that looks like SWAMPWATER might be a stretch for a people who live primarily on cola, cellophane-wrapped snack cakes and bacon cheeseburgers, but DON'T GIVE UP HOPE, MY SARDINE SISTERS. Many North Americans struggle with a terror of any sort of food. They end up locking themselves in the bathroom with a juicer, a bushel of homegrown organic beets and a gallon of spring water so nothing contaminated ever touches their snowflake palates. Others fed up with restricting themselves are UP FOR A DARE. And this party dish certainly qualifies.
GET READY TO PAR-TAY, LADIES!
