In her six-decade reign, Queen Elizabeth II has been given lavish gifts that include rubies, a shark-tooth sword and a diamond and platinum brooch.

But for this weekend's celebration of the queen's 60 years on the throne, she will receive one gift she may not have dreamed of as a princess: a pie for two made of a slimy, parasitic eel-like fish known for sucking the blood out of its prey.

The most interesting part is that the lamprey have been imported from the Great Lakes. I saw a program on tv once that showed a dish in england that was eel pie with green sauce. They do have some unusual traditions there.

Hi,

I think the Queen would find the pie delicious.

Regards,

She will wash it down with her favorite drink, dubonnet and gin with a slice of lemon.
