Wonderful image and fun puzzle, Synthia.#4: Jota (jota) on Jul 23, 2010 [SPOILER]
I went to YouTube to find a video of how to grill eel, and I was astonished. I won't post the links to the videos here, because they are too graphic. If offered, I will never accept a taste of eel, as the images from the videos will be stuck in my head.
I'll share a link to the clip from "The Princess Bride" that Bugaboo quoted instead:

I will never eat eels period.#5: Gator (Gator) on Jul 23, 2010 [SPOILER]
Is there a good reason not to eat eel (beyond the obvious mental scarring Teresa has obtained)? (And, please, no Vegan arguments.)#6: Synthia McBride (synthia) on Jul 23, 2010 [SPOILER]
EDIT: Found this on Wiki - "In 2010, Greenpeace International has added the European eel, Japanese eel and American eel to its seafood red list. 'The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries.'"
To me an eel/ Holds no appeal. :)#7: Jota (jota) on Jul 23, 2010
The photos of eel that I looked at to make the puzzle were very creepy indeed. However not as creepy as the photos of fleas. I was going to do an Ogden puzzle with a flea (The poem: "Adam/ Had 'em." which I love). But the close up of flea was just too weird. Enlarge one to 8 feet and you would have a monster to rival Alien and Predator. I don't know if this link will work, but here goes: The Cat Flea:http://www.idph.state.il.us/images/CatFleaB&W_UMo.jpg
Disgusting.
