I was in in Hong Kong with a group of American travel writers. We had a free night so found what looked like a good restauarant. Our menus included an elaborate page explaining how fortunate we were to be in this place that was allegedlly famous for "thousand year old eggs." They then appeared on the table although none had ordered any. We never touched them. But they were charged on the bill. We loudly refused to pay. The manager finally relented and cancelled. We did not leave a tip.

An egg? At this hour?

Me too, monkey. That ammonia flavour does not hit the spot.
UncleMartha
Oof, like hárkarl. You can let it air out, but it never tastes "right".
khaoselement
You'd have to pay me a lot to eat a century egg.

" thats... that's NASTY ! " - any monkey or other thinking creature

I trust the monkey's judgment on that one
SarcasticComment
they were the worst thing to find snuck into food outside of silkworms while living in East Asia. I've eaten a lot of different bugs, silkworms just pop in your mouth and taste like rotten walnuts.
WellWhatTheHeck
as well you should

By themselves I wouldn't eat a century egg. But with soup... They are pretty damn good.
Cosmicfisherman
I ain't eating that ..

Perfect.

You wanted to make a monkey out of him.

From the wiki: "In Thai and Lao, the common word for century egg translates to "horse urine egg", due to the distinctive urine-like odor of the food"

Century or preserved eggs, are a Chinese dish made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the processing method.
Boatsntoes
And they are one of my favorite dishes
thricebakedxyz
My Chinese friend gave me one, it was pretty good. She suggested using soy sauce and minced garlic. You can freak your friends out eating one, good stuff.

They sell eggs like this in the non-refrigerated aisle in Costco.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hardly weirder than aged cheese
tankerofquetzals
Hush. This bigotry and fear of the foreign was sanctioned as acceptable for Imgur. It's the other kind of bigotry and fear of the foreign that is to be mocked and reviled, as practiced by malicious idiots.
thecollective01
lol well cheese that tastes like ammonia is gross too, imo
Rockstarwizkidd
They aren't that bad. It's an egg that smells kind of like dirt and tastes kind of like mushroom. Consistency is like a firm hardboiled egg. Not bad, just don't arbitrarily set your expectations.
Razade
The issue is most reaction videos aren't eating them properly. It'd be like someone in China taking a block of really smelly cheese, taking a big huge bite, and then having the same reaction.
Rockstarwizkidd
My Chinese colleagues specifically think blue cheese is disgusting.
InTangier
I mean, I love it and I get their point. It doesn't look particularly inviting. First time I ate it, I was probably grossed out.
Rockstarwizkidd
My sister as a rugrst, is quoted as saying to my father "Dada, da nah sheese."
Razade
I don't think they're wrong.
NostocOnMyShoe
Better than those boy-piss eggs
theduckening
for those who don't know. It's basically hard boiled eggs, replace the water by young boy piss and slightly cracked eggs so it seals in the flavour
TheDogEnd
Thojira
seals in the ... urgh
Avrgjoe80
TIL...
GenesisNynja
Uhhhhhh young boy piss? What the fuck kinda culture does that? Fuckin nasty in more ways than one
theduckening
to be fair, it's only known for one location https://youtu.be/IuURVoQdK3U?si=zkiWxTcJbaXmPqSc
GenesisNynja
Is there a reasoning behind it? Or do some people just want to eat boiled boy piss eggs?
N9inb0x
... I kind of want to try them now. They almost sound like they're full of minerals like that and I know the shells are porous so the embryo can breathe, but I'm not certain if the color is from absorbing said minerals or not or if it'd even work like that. Either way, I'm down.
thecollective01
As long as you like the taste of ammonia
N9inb0x
... I can't even smell it but with how it burns my nose and eyes, no I do not.
Razade
The color is not from absorbing minerals but from a chemical reaction with sodium hydroxide and ammonia. It's the quicklime and soda ash specifically that does it. Also - it's not something anyone actually eats like a hard boiled egg. You slice it thin and eat it with other things. Typically congee which has no real flavor on its own. It's basically cheese or kimche or any other preserved thing.
N9inb0x
I eat cheese by itself for a snack, so I don't see why not egg lol
Though I could probably add it to other things, like maybe a salad.
Razade
Do you eat something like Limburger by itself? Or blue cheese?
N9inb0x
I like my soft cheeses more, like mozzarella.
snarkybitch
Yeah nobody should be ewting those 🤮
sleete
...I love them.
Rivalyn
I don't think I'll ever try them on purpose. You can have mine, it's okay.
sleete
You should. It's creamy and savory. Very good umami flavor.
Rivalyn
Well now you can't have mine. I'm not even going to eat it, you just can't have it.
snarkybitch
Ive never actually tried one. I might love them
myloveforyouislikeatruckberserker
Well then take back your offensive and narrow minded initial comment. There’s a whole world outside of burger and fries. Saying something’s gross just because you don’t like it is what my 5 year old does
tankerofquetzals
Downvoted for telling people who shit on what they don't know not to shit on what they don't know... Imgur professes to be against bigotry, but only the kind it's been told to hate, the other kinds are free to express themselves naturally.
TyphoonMuscles
Really? The egg is fucking black. It apparently smells bad too. Of course it's unappetizing. Shut your judgemental ass up.
myloveforyouislikeatruckberserker
Yeah it’s objectively not good, that’s why it’s a common food product sold throughout the world right? The sad thing is you don’t even realise how ignorant you sound
sleete
Caviar is black and smells fishy which many people don't like either. Cent egg is creamy and savory. It mostly just smells like sulfur. You know what else smells like sulfur? Hardboiled egg.
tankerofquetzals
You call the people who say not to judge the food without knowing anything about it judgmental? Do you have no sense of irony at all?
