/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Who wouldn't?

I'd like to try it. Seems like it'd be too much for me, just wedged like that, but I'd give it a go.

I eat those often, theyre good. eating foods like that, you cant think too hard about what youre eating because it's easy to gag from simply the thought of a lot of "exotic" foods.

>>5108625

what does do they taste like

>>5108606

That looks vile.

>>5108632

Like bathroom cleaning liquids

>>5108606
Anyone can eat the outer part without gagging. It's the yolk that gets people.

I'm Chinese and I've been eating this shit for a good part of my life with congee. That being said, I sometimes still have trouble downing the yolk, gotta eat that shit with a big spoonful of congee to be able to enjoy it or its simply too over powering.

>>5108607

it looks like "reverse" fruit

Already have. It's like a savory egg custard.

If it were a century old I'd try it just for the hell of it. As it is though it just looks and sounds disgusting

>>5108810
I'd rather eat egg custard

>>5108606
I don't like eggs much, so I suspect lye pickled eggs wouldn't be enjoyable for me.

jesus, these things are amazing.

Would you eat balut, /ck/?

>>5109458
Dear God, why?

Would you eat a virgin boy piss egg, /ck/?

Chef Cain here.

I adore century eggs. My mother would make them using her ova.

>>5109586
don't lump the filipinos with us please

>>5108606
it's certainly intense but I've never gagged on eating one

>>5109601
I think the image you are looking for is this one

I'd try one, sure.

>>5109608
Thank you for posting, Chef Cain. You've given me another name to add to my extensive filter list.

>>5109458

Oh no. There are feathers and it's staring.

>>5109458
No. Century Eggs aren't inherantly disgusting, they just look disgusting and it's yolk has a really odd flavour/texture combination.
THAT however, is inherantly disgusting.

I tried it in HK. I was expecting something truly horrid, or at least something that tasted strongly of cleaning chemicals. It was actually decent. I don't know how to describe it exactly, it's a unique, salty, eggy flavor

>>5110024
second this tried one in Thailand a couple of weeks ago centre taste ok creamy consistency, smells very sulphur

they're good in rice porridge

they have a non salty but fetid smelly taste

with an alkaline mushy aftertaste

>>5109574

Are they genuinely 100 years old or is this one of those things where you call them century eggs but they're actually only a couple years old?

>>5110141
Lol I think it takes a few months to produce these eggs. They're just named so because they look all old and rotten.

Ive eaten them often, in congee.

Would you eat German chocolate?

>>5110479
>mfw pad thai....

>>5110479

the blutwurst is 50% blut :(

>>5108606
No.

Fuck you and fuck that shit. These filthy fucking foreigners are not going to convince me their rotten eggs and garbage is fucking good.

>>5110479
>Döner mit "ein bisschen" scharf

The egg"white" is a bit saltier than you'd expect and like hard jello, the yolk tastes like, well, creamy yolk. All in all it's not really an exciting experience, it's not that different from a normal egg flavor-wise.

>>5110704
They aren't rotten though.

>>5109458
When I was in high school every year there would be a Fear Factor event, and in my freshman year everyone participating had to eat one of those. It was pretty vile to watch, and it was probably much worse for the people that ate them. One poor girl threw up in front of half of the school.

>>5110479

>>5108749
A local noodle shop has century/milennia/whatever egg congee, I tried it once, just to say I did.

Maybe it's because I'm just a white boy but I couldn't really taste what made the egg so special. If I go there again (and I'm sure I will) do you suggest requesting just an egg by itself on the side?

>>5109574
>virgin boy piss egg
...what

>>5111186
It's a real thing, cooked in actual boy urine:

Would you eat spider-cheese, /ck/?

Don't worry, it doesn't contain actual spiders.
They're mites

Chinese are pig disgusting

>>5108606
I would try it.

>>5109458
I was born on a US Navy base in the Philippines but left when I was too young to appreciate it, but when I was 22 I went back to check it out and Balut was a must try. It's like a really strong egg cooked in duck fat with just a hint of duck meat flavor. It was much tamer than I had expected, but it is intimidating to eat at first.

>>5111652
What's the texture like?

I actively want to try a century eggs. Balut looks fucking gross, but i'd give it a go. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just culturally unacceptable in the west. Probably tastes ok.

>>5111659
The egg is, well, like a hardboiled egg but the the embryo is very soft and almost fatty consistency without the chewiness. It's on the unusual side of textures (as a westerner) for sure.

>>5111589
Not only do they drive just about every large creature in Asia and Africa to near extinction for their medicine they also cook in piss. The world really would be a better place without the Chinese.

>>5109458
had this once
flavor was good
texture, not so much for me
didn't mind the bones, but beak, and mine had some small feathers
maybe it was more mature than it should've been, I dunno, but that part made it not so good

>>5108606
No, I'd rather eat a millennium egg.

I'm quite fond of tea eggs.

>>5111727
But those are just hard-boiled eggs soaked in tea. I'm not sure why the Wikipedia page for century eggs even links to the one for tea eggs.

>>5111755
Because they're both Asian styles of egg cooking.

>>5108749
>Anyone can eat the outer part without gagging. It's the yolk that gets people.

Both taste pretty inoffensive though. Exactly like egg with a hint of sulphur.

>>5110479

Ritter Sport is disgusting. I'd rather suck cock than eat Ritter Sport.

>>5111727
Tea eggs sound like something I'd actually like to try.

>>5108749
>I sometimes still have trouble downing the yolk, gotta eat that shit with a big spoonful of congee to be able to enjoy it

Or you could, you know...just NOT eat the thing that makes you want to throw up.

Fucking Chinese people and their disgusting food habits...

Why wouldn't you?

>>5108606

Chinese people are vile.

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/jul/15/david-sedaris-chinese-food-chicken-toenails

>>5108606
I'd try it, sure.

>>5113040
So are homosexuals.

Probably not an entire one. I'd try one of the slices in the image out of curiosity.

>>5113001
But the only use natural flavors.

>>5113040
>Chinese people are vile.


>>5113042
>So are homosexuals.

>mfw Chinese gay guy..

>>5110479
i ate the almond one and i was dissapointed.
Those 50% cac ao chocolates are 10 times better, it might be because where i live but they cost the same

They're not even that bad. They just look like shit - I'm sure the people who say they won't try one because "it's vile" in this thread eat stuff that is legitimately more disgusting in make-up than a preserved egg.
Plenty of genuinely disgusting shit in Chinese cuisine but this isn't one of them.

>>5109458
I fucking love the shit out of Balut. I grew up in a Philippino cultured household so we ate these things for fucking dessert. When I saw this on a Fear Factor episode I thought the contestants were goddamn pussies. The soup that you get at the top is so delicious and savoury and the duck tastes delicious with a dash of salt.

>>5110479
what the fuck germany

>>5110870
This, century eggs are pretty tame. I'd eat ten of them before I'd choke down another serving of natto, that shit is legitimately the worst thing I've ever eaten.

Balut is next on the list for me to try, I know I won't enjoy it but I need to give it a chance.

>>5113174
Bro I cannot think of anything I would eat more vile then a discolored sulfuric rotten fucking egg dug up out of the ground.

>>5113197
Guys, hear me out here...

Guys... Balut Century Eggs.

>>5113228
The pissboy eggs?

Bad eggs are one of the most wretched things you can experience. These always reminded me of hardboiled version of those.

>>5113228
>dug up out of the ground.
I don't think anyone makes it like that, atleast not in the last century or so anyway.

That being said, I probably wouldn't eat an entire century egg either - I'm not a fan of pickled eggs in general so I doubt I'd like this. I'd try a slice like shown in OP's pic though, maybe.

>>5110479
I can't even imagine what half of those would taste like.

>>5113321
Buying random German chocolates with unknown contents is half the run.

It's regular candy type shit, mint or coconut or almonds, rice crispies, ect.

>>5113324
I suppose so.
I must admit I probably wouldn't hesitate to try the pad thai and doner kebab ones in that image, just out of curiosity.
