9/21 Why is the Chinese black egg black? Is it safe to eat? What chemical
compound made it black? It looks like lead, but it's yummy.
\_ You mean thousand year old egg? I think that's duck egg preserved
in tea.
\_ It's funny that the thousand year old egg was featured in Fear
Factor. When I saw that episode, I'm like "I'll eat it without
a prize."
\_ Koreans sometimes soak hard boiled eggs in watered down soy
sause. They turn brown. Those are pretty tasty too.
\_ The Japanese do something similar for oden. Cf. the egg in
vinegar science trick. (The egg in oden is not as rubbery...)
\_ Let me tell you something *REALLY* scary... *TRADITIONALLY* those
'thousand year old egg' was made by marinating the egg in
*HORSE PISS*. No, I am not kidding. We don't do it in horse
piss anymore, if you are really interested in this, I can find out.
It bothers me that how my ancestors one day came up with this idea
"let me soak egg in this and see how's taste..."
\_ Well it's not as bad as the famous Shit Eating German porn.
\_ I have a guess as to why urine was pissed. A disgruntled
chef in the Dynasty thought it'd be funny to serve the
emperor egg that is dipped in urine. It turns out the
emperor liked it so much that it's an official dish.
Uh, seriously though, that's just an urban legend. Black
eggs are black because of charcoal, tea, and other things.

\_ Like how we grow mushrooms on cold horse shit?
\_ No way, you're shitting me!!!
\_ MOVE OVER GERMANY!!!!1!!
\_ Nothing beats your Shit Eating German porn. How the hell
did you guys come up with that stuff. It is just sick.
\_ I hate to sound like a freak, but piss in general has a lot of
really useful properties (all that ammonia, etc.). Pre-Industrial
really useful properties (all that urea, etc.). Pre-Industrial
folks had a lot of uses for it, including medicine and laundry.

| ask.yahoo.com/20011114.html Chef Meng, it's a common dish, sometimes k nown as pidan, that is made by coating duck or chicken eggs in a clay-li ke plaster of red earth, garden lime, salt, wood ash, and tea. To preven t the eggs from sticking, and for an attractive presentation, the chef a dvises layering and wrapping individual eggs in rice husks and packing t hem into an airtight container. preserved duck egg recipe provided by RecipeSource (formerly know n as SOAR: The Searchable Online Archive of Recipes) advises you to "bur y" the eggs in a large crock that's been layered and lined with garden s oil, and then store in a cool dry place for 3-4 months. Ingredients incl ude a blend of equal parts of ash from charcoal, pine wood, and fireplac e, along with salt and strong black tea. Chef Meng frankly dispels the m isconception that horse urine is used to aid the fermentation process. column provided a rich description of the resultin g flavor and texture -- smooth and creamy like an avocado, with a greeni sh yolk, and a no-longer-white white that is compared to the color of bl ackish amber or black opal, with hints of yellow, blue, and green hues. Serving suggestion: Cut i n wedges and serve with sweet pickled vegetables or a sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, rice wine, and minced ginger. Or, as the old Latin adage says, de gustibus non est disputandum (there's no accounting for taste)!

| en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine edit Composition Urine is a transparent solution that is clear to amber in color, and usua lly is light yellow. It is the byproduct or waste fluid secreted by the kidneys, transported by the ureters to the urinary bladder where it is s tored until it is voided through the urethra. Urine is made up of a wate ry solution of metabolic wastes (such as urea), dissolved salts and orga nic materials. The composition of urine is adjusted in the process of reabsorption when ess ential molecules needed by the body, such as glucose, are reabsorbed bac k into the blood stream via carrier molecules. The remaining fluid conta ins high concentrations of urea and other excess or potentially toxic su bstances that will be released from the body via urination. mushroom), or of one who h as in turn drunk urine of like source.
