Chestnut lamprey
U.S. pitching in to help British city make special pie for queen’s diamond jubilee
In the United Kingdom, the city of Gloucester has a tradition of presenting a pie to the king or queen. But this isn’t just any pie, it’s a pie made with lamprey. Unfortunately, lamprey were fished nearly to death in the U.K. and are a protected species now. So Gloucester has to look to the former colonies to get the pie’s key ingredient.
