I have just discovered what a Century Egg is.

I do not want to eat a Century Egg. Ever.

They are interesting, not my favourite thing in the world.

I'd never eat one, but they're pretty fascinating. It's like Surstromming, I could never eat it, but it's fascinating to imagine the story of how people discovered and refined that idea over the years, the trial and error, passed down through generations. Especially with the modern era where we can now understand the mechanisms that make it all work and replicate it with the quickest process and the least amount of resources. It's a cool sign of how far we've come as a species. ^_^

I don't think the Chinese actually eat them like that? Or at least when I had them they were in a traditional dish which balances the flavour. The trouble I have with videos like Ashens is often they are eaten on their own which people of the culture would not do or they are served cold when they should be served hot. Surstromming likewise sounds horrendous (and my god does it stink) but eat it in a traditional sandwich and its quite palatable.
