because they are the americans of asia

Wouldn't egg ice cream just be a custard based ice cream? Actually sounds pretty good.

>Virgin boy eggs are a traditional dish of Dongyang,China in which eggs are boiled in the urine of young peasant boys, preferably under the age of 10. Named "tong zi dan" (童子蛋), 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.

I would unironically eat that.

>>12480738
Has anyone here ever tried one?

Looks like a bad Adventure Time knockoff, which is extra bad because the Adventure Time/Pendleton Ward style was a mistake

sometimes I'll just be brushing my teeth or walking my dog and remember Chinese Piss Eggs and start laughing to myself like a schizophrenic

based

>>12480738
Seriously, how does something like this even become a thing? Who decided to soak their food in urine, and how did they convince other people to eat it?

>>12480730
It is, but it's heavy on the egg notes

salted egg yolks are a treat in some cases, they stuff them into pastries for new years

>>12480738
imagine the smell

You sound pretty dumb anon, if you could use just a little bit of critical thinking it's obvious that this came about from a rudimentary way to preserve food. There's a reason the other name for it is century egg, or thousand year egg

>>12481552
Century eggs (pi dan) are a totally different thing, they're buried underground, they're pretty much green and black

>>12481552
that's a different thing, anon

Lovecraft larp.

Nobody eats pidan by themselves, that's just asking for a mouthful of ammonia. Add some soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil and suddenly it's a gourmet appetizer.

>>12480738
What I don't get is why it has to be peasant boys. Wouldn't it be better to only use the best urine from boys with a nobler pedigree?

>>12480721
Fucking farmers turned millionairies still worshipped eggs, made their shitty kids eat nothing but eggs till they liked it and now we're here.

This isn't just in china, this shit is all over the world. Especially britain which is how their shitty food culture started off. Because some starved fuckwad kid just kept being nostalgic over toast sandwiches.

Because when you have to feed 3 billion people you have to start eating bugs and shit.

That's fuckin gross. Piss is piss.

>>12480726
That is surprisingly accurate, except the chinese have a greater history

Yep. It's gotta be a pederast thing.

The Vatican probably has a similar food.

Children have less fucked-up kidneys, therefore, better pee. Girls are a protected class, therefore, boy pee. Ammonia is used even in more advanced industry to sanitize food, such as the much-maligned "pink slime", and is sometimes used as a leavening agent and an acidity controller.

I figured all of this out in about five minutes with the internet. But no, it's probably totally just an evil Chinese pedo ritual.
