Century Egg (Chinese Delicacy)
Century Egg, or also known as hundred year old egg or thousand year old egg, or Bi Dan (in Chinese), is usually made from raw uncooked duck or chicken eggs, soaked in lime (calcium oxide or hydroxide), and then packed in ash/clay and let sit to mature for a few months. After which the white would have turned a translucent black color and the yolk coagulated into a creamy grayish green color with strong hints of hydrogen sulfide or ammonia. It's a very strong and pungent tasting food and it's an acquired taste. It's usually not cooked before consuming as all the curing agents would have killed all the bacteria in the egg where present.
This can be eaten by it's own, or served with porridge or as an ingredient in some dishes. Have you tasted this before? Share your experience!
Watch kids trying the hundred year old egg for the first time!
Gracias por el tag @KarenVChin, comidas realmente raras no comí 🙂, pero si como un plato de comida arabe llamado cupe o kipe, es preparado a base de carne cruda 🥩 y mesclado con trigo borgol, cebolla, perejil, pimiento y los condimentos como sal y pimienta. En mi familia lo realizamos con carne de vaca 🐄 pero en los paises árabes es con carne de cordero 🐑, @StephenAbraham, no sé si entra en la categoría de comida poco agradable, pero para mí es muy sabrosa 😋.
Saludos Farid
