Add any other words you can think of. Then the fact that it's children just compounds the absolute grossness.

Abhorrent. I like abhorrent. It's a good word.

It's really interesting to me that the societies or cultures that weren't totally transformed by the introduction of the Abrahamic religions tend to have "weird" superstitions like this. Weird is in quotes because it is a relative term, yes?

To be honest, as disgusting as this may sound to people unfamiliar with it, it's relatively harmless on the list of weird superstitious or cultural beliefs. No person or animal is harmed by this so I can't really say much about it other than to say, it's not something I'd willingly choose to eat.

Different cultures are different. It's only weird to you because it's a statistically anomalous behaviour in your culture. Abrahamic religions have plenty of weird superstitions. Don't Christians have bread and wine because it's related to the body and blood of Jesus Christ?

Sigh...
-_-
Bloody mainlanders...I've heard of a lot of weird shit, but what the fuck!?

Let's be fair here, it's a local thing. We don't attribute to the entire United States the stupid shit Florida does.

 

[McLovin]

That's gross, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

What were you thinking...?

What were you thinking...?

Well it's china, mmm... Virgin young male monkey testicles?

Man... you kinda get a sense of the history of poverty in the region that allowed this thing to become a thing.

I question the medical expertise of anyone who is still on the fence over the health benefits of eating urine-soaked eggs.

Also, this sounds like some made up bullshit to me.

 

[SyNapSe]

I can kind of see why this would get started. It's one less thing you needed water for back in the day.

I don't get the thousand year old egg though. It takes even more time and work to prepare. Different strokes for different folks and all but China makes some crazy sounding dishes to me.

Sandusky moving to China confirmed.

 

[3phemeral]

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"
