Nope and nope can't tell you the attraction either!! pmsl
Thanks for the forewarning, will remember not to be eating dinner during TBL tonight!!
OMG YUMMMMMMMMMM I love century old eggs with salty pork in CONGEE
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
It is a preserved duck egg, several months old.
Where's the "throw up" icon?

Yeah, except they are not exactly preserved, they're buried in clay and then left to fester, and then dug up and eaten.
Ok, i can imagine that a little bit mixed into a larger dish might work...what exactly does it taste like M21?
Gagging
I'll pass thanks.
:sick: lol:
LOL
i dotn think its made that way anymore but i am not sure
i buy them in a carton of 6 eggs.
Anyway, they taste a like firm egg that is slightly salty. THe outter layer is slightly transparent. If you dare, you can probably order CONGEE with century egg and salted pork from your yum cha restaurants.
Very good for if you arent feeling too well and want something light lol
EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW they're green! and redish jelly! GROSS!
Ok, the ones on the telly sound well different from the ones you just described...these were reddish-brownish and completely transparent all the way through the "white" and the yolk part was green, glistening and kinda liquid....
I can't imagine that being very good for me if I wasn't feeling well to start of with... :lol::
Very good for if you arent feeling too well
LOL probably cause its uncooked. Ill have a look! but yeh the ones we eat is also browny with greeny yolk
I felt sick watching them... how the hell can they be a delicacy??? *shudders*
lol my mums congee looks heaps better than the one in wikipedia but here
Century egg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
*GAG*
Sorry, so gross! I'll go back to my vegemite and honey toast now :p
Id sooner eat my arm than that.... *dry heaves*
i tried fitting my arm in my mouth, too hard lol
:rofl: DD gives it a good crack:
Amy Tan made them sound so appetising. I've always wanted to try them but I have no idea where I can order it.
We don't go to Yum Cha since we left Sydney :( I didn't know you could get it there - I don't think I've ever seen it on the cart.
I'm sure your mum's congee is very nice, but I think it would still take some convincing for me to have a go at the egg part!
I'm pretty open to trying new things but this is one thing I'm not game enough to try!
the dead chick in the egg would be worse... I've seen that on the amazing race and on survivor :sick: But I wouldn't eat either :p
I think I'm gonna hurl.
i've never even heard of them till you mentioned them.....but i don't know if they sound too good. i mean, i love eggs, but preserved eggs that are a few months, i just don't know if i could stomach that.....but maybe it's cause im pregnant right now LOL.
Yeah.. That...:
It looks feral!!! I wouldn't be able to eat it just because of what it looks like!!!!!!
*shudder*
Hey if anyone works in Sydney CBD, i just found there are 2 shops selling this congee if you are game enough to try it out! LOL its in Hunters arcade
