The Wonderful World of Taiwan's Eggs

If this article (on another Taiwan Expat's blog I often frequent) doesn't make you salivate, you, sir, are not human:

Last, but certainly not least are the Thousand Year Eggs (皮蛋). Mmmm. These eggs are a traditional Chinese snack that are (traditionally by burying them in clay). They're cured for so long that the cured for about three monthsegg white becomes a clear, brown jelly-like substance and the yellow becomes green and creamy (or slimy, depending on who you ask). It's a bit like the egg family's version of blue-cheese.

Mmmmm, sign me up.

"GROSS FOOD ALERT" is right. That is nasty.

I hate regular, healthy, won't-kill-a-person eggs...

That looks as good as an old arabic curse I once learned...

"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits" Gross!!!

I spent a week in Korea and the food was not that much better. Better stick with Pizza Hut and Mcdonalds!!
