Thread title is wrong

Chinese delicacy --> yet another Chinese superstition

"If you eat this, you will not get heat stroke.

"By eating these eggs, we will not have any pain in our waists, legs and joints.

At least they're not cutting off the body parts of live animals for once.

A boy peed on my steaks.

Add a little hot sauce and we're good to go.

It all started when an egg farmer's dog peed on a neighbor boy's steaks.

 

[Kinyou]

The eggs are not bought only at street stalls. Local residents are also known to personally collect boys' urine from nearby schools to cook the delicacy in their homes.

 

[Veritas_]

It takes nearly an entire day to make these unique eggs... "If you eat this, you will not get heat stroke..."

Which is much easier than, you know, drinking some water and resting for a bit.

 

[The Return of]

can't deal with it

haha shit, I've never seeen this before. can't stop looking at it.

 

[DemiMatt]

 

[Iksenpets]

I'll stick to the peking duck...

I see what you did there.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Is this the golden egg I've heard so much about?

 

[bud]

that guy eating those eggs is one of the most disgusting things i've seen in my life.

 

[Dresden]

But yeah, when I clicked the thread I thought it'd be about some exceedingly rare delicacy cooked with the balls of young boys.

 

[mr. puppy]

why do people read the huffington post?

 

[Ferrio]

Omg what a weird creepy culture
How on earth would something like this get started and another dude is like "yeah that sounds like a good tradition"

I'm guessing like this:

Man 1: "Hey let's make some Tea Eggs."
Man 2: "We're out of tea leaves."
Man 1: "Well, what do we have?"

 

[EraldoCoil]

Also, I am disappointed in the lack of a Bear Grylls post.

 

[Riposte]

 

[Stasis]

Between this and Balut I'm just never going near eggs in an Asian country ever.

No.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Fuck... as a Chinese man why do my people have to be so fucking disgusting and believe in such ridiculous health benefits.

They can keep their ground antler horns, bear prostates, and shark fin I renounce my culture!

 

[OnPoint]

I appreciate what you've done here.

This meme is sadly underloved.

 

[levious]

Good thing off-topic got cleaned up to make sure this kind of stuff got first billing.

sporting events are just rather trivial compared to actual, real-world news.

 

[Raist]

Well I guess AlimNassor just found his next holidays destination.

 

[Gaborn]

just... um... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (I had eggs for breakfast. They were not soaked in boy's urine).

 

[Kamek]

I just don't understand.

 

[Veal]

lol OMG

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Well it seems William Shatner likes them.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Is it just a stereotype that all the really weird shit happens in the Orient?

 

[Rentahamster]

 

[thetrin]

I should not have read this thread while I was eating lunch.

 

[the chris]

God damn it China.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm speechless.

 

[samus i am]

 

[BGBW]

Are they cherry flavoured?

 

[Klyka]

China really knows how to take the piss.

 

[Mudkips]

why do people read the huffington post?

 

[Kinyou]

I wonder what happens if some normal dudes pisses into it. Would they go like "eeeewwwwwww" ?

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

I actually kind of get it. Maybe the salinity content is high enough that they're doing a quasi-brine or something? Still, if your diet is dangerously low in sodiums I could see how eating these could relieve muscle soreness.

And piss is preferably to salt water in this context how?

 

[Tacitus_]

This is from the country that brought us the "Century Egg" - a chickens egg that is stored in a way that turns it green and black.
What the fuck, China.

 

[Deified Data]

Would try anything once.

TCM is insane, though, cultural relativism be damned.

 

[MMaRsu]

did I do it right gaf?

Those are delicious, don't knock what you don't know.

 

[Trojita]

I remember reading this once before. It might have even been on GAF.

 

[Nightz]

I hereby renounce the 1/4 Chinese blood I have in me.

 

[MMaRsu]

Honestly though, if I would see someone eating this I would puke. How about the stench of boiling a bunch of eggs in some really nasty piss.

 

[dojokun]

Those are delicious, don't knock what you don't know.

Actually yes. I've had those on occasion growing up. They're very salty, and they are like hard gelatin with a yolk. One slice with a couple spoonfuls of rice is the right ratio to deal with the saltiness.

 

[Dyno]

Brings to mind something I heard in a movie once...

You wanna be a Chinese, you have to eat some nasty stuff!

 

[thetrin]

Century Eggs are delicious.

Dipping stuff in a 10 year old's pee sounds incredibly fucking gross, though. How can you possibly think it's appropriate to cook something whose secondary ingredients needs to be collected from elementary school toilets?

Soy sauce and tofu is a typical prep; I personally have rarely seen it eaten with rice.

Probably the best preparation I have ever had consists of the eggs sliced into wedges, soaked in soy sauce and hot sauce, and served topped with hot peppers. Magnificent.

I'm pretty sure this completely outclasses bull penises as the "grossest food Chinese people eat for stupid superstitious reasons".

 

[Haly]

As if they weren't salty enough, you soak them in soy sauce?

Gross.

Not that they aren't gross already. Just give me a normal tea boiled egg.
