>Virgin boy eggs are a traditional dish of Dongyang, China in which eggs are boiled in the urine of young boys, preferably under the age of ten. Named "tong zi dan" (Chinese: 童子蛋; pinyin: Tóngzǐdàn), the dish translates literally to "boy egg" and is a springtime tradition of the city where the urine is collected from prepubescent peasant boys. The eggs have been listed by officials in China as a part of the region's "local intangible cultural heritage".

>The dish is prepared by first soaking the eggs in the urine of young boys. The urine is sourced locally by each vendor. Then, the mixture is heated over a stove. After boiling, the egg shells are cracked around the entire surface of the egg. Afterwards, the eggs are placed back into the urine. The used urine is then replaced with fresh urine and the process is repeated. The soaking process allows the eggs to become cured in the urine as they are left to simmer. The entire process is generally a day-long endeavor. According to some recipes, different herbs may also be added to the marinade. When finished, the eggs whites have a pale golden hue and the yolks turn green.

>Even more amazing than the process itself, is how vendors acquire the urine for boiling. They actually place buckets at primary schools for young boys to pee into. The buckets are then collected through the day and used to make the delicacy. For the most part, the practice is accepted throughout primary schools in Dongyang. However, boys who are sick are asked to refrain from using the buckets, to keep the process of boiling eggs in urine as hygienic and healthy as possible.

I agree.
But if you're willing, you might enjoy it. I notice a lot of people who try to eat it for the first time tend to break it down and purposely find the fetus and get squeemish. Trick is to just bite into like a regular hard boiled egg lol.
As for seasoning it ends up with a broth inside after cooking. Think of really rich chicken soup. Just add salt to taste.

What about the feathers, bones, beak and shit?

>> No.11468036

>>11467891
I don't think there are any feathers but the rest of that stuff exists but it hasn't fully formed yet so it still has the texture of cooked egg yolk and you chew right through it without even any crunch though it has flavour that is closer to cooked chicken.

I thought the Virgin Boy Eggs were a /ck/ meme, but I see it has a wiki article that hasn't been deleted. I still don't fucking believe it, no way is this actually real.

Have any of you eaten a virgin boy egg before? I wouldn't even try one, but if they had eggs soaked in the urine if sexy 18-30 year old women, I would try it.

>> No.11468084

I find this hard to believe. When I was in elementary school, I was way too embarrassed for anyone to see my penis besides close friends. Yet in the elementary schools over there, boys openly urinate in the hallways, for boys and girls to see their penises?

well it all depends on culture and gender expections. Boys =/ = girls. In rural asia you can often see men, boys skinny dipping in the river in the summer--but not women or girls

in the west this would be largely normal in the early 20th century.

The eggs are already cooked, this is to allow the urine to seep through the cracks so the flavour goes into the egg and also forms a nice pattern on the outside for visual effect.

same as making tea eggs
