Lemon and eels go together very well either in the Neapolitan deep fried style or Greek style
Don’t try random recipes.

I did hear about a gentleman who was admitted to the emergency room after inserting a dozen plastic horses in his rectum.
Thankfully, doctors quickly upgraded his condition to “stable”.

The thing is, he isn’t even the first Vietnamese bloke this year to end up in hospital with this problem. I wrote the previous one up in an article in Fortean TImes on infelicitous insertions earlier this year. “On 20 March a man arrived at the Hai Ha District Medical Centre in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam, with extreme abdominal pain. X-rays and ultrasound scans showed that there was an unidentified foreign body in his abdominal cavity and that he was suffering from intestinal perforation. Given the pain the man was in, medics decided to operate immediately and on opening the patient up were startled to find that the foreign body was a 30cm (1ft) eel, and that it was still alive. They extracted the wriggling creature, then removed the damaged portion of his intestine, creating a stoma, and stabilized the patient, leaving him with only mild abdominal discomfort. The doctors believed that the eel had crawled up the patient’s intestine from his anus and had got into his abdominal cavity by biting through his intestine. The patient could not, however, provide a clear answer as to exactly how an eel might have got into his anus, and the hospital was far too professional to speculate. - source:nguoiduatin.vn, 21 Mar 2024”

Sometimes it really does lead to learning and future safety (explosives storage and handling, for example, tought some tragic lessons).
Most of the rest… Possibly this one chink in the evolution thing. How did we get here if as a species we’re collectively this stupid? Many seem to miss all of the qualifying requirements for the Darwin awards…

It didn’t enter his stomach, the title is wrong.
Emphasis mine.
Reading the original story here I wondered if the eel was alive when they got to it.

From the article:
“Surgeons had no choice but to open him up and inside they found the eel—65cm long and 10cm in circumference—still alive.”
30cm? That’s a training eel.
