My god that looks awful...... :Facepalm:

What is that green goop on the plate (certainly not mushy peas) and where's the mashed potato ????

It's called liquor, it's a parsley sauce that you cook eels in.  Mash is at the back of the plate.  Unfortunately what was once a part of London life is now being lost.

Well, I have to say that's a paltry serving of mash......anyone dishing out such a tiny portion up north would be lynched for serving so little mash with a pie.

So do I take it that's an eel pie then ???  - really glad I wasn't brought up in London........the favourite/best pie meals I remember were minced beef and onion pie, with mushy peas and chips or mash...or steak pie with mushy peas and chips or mash.

We weren't posh enough to have a "sauce" with our pies, unless it was Ketchup - heck, we didn't even have herbs....they were only for the posh southerners  :sarcastic:
