I tried one in The Philippines when I was 86. I also went skydiving at 90. I could do without the egg

though I'm not fond all cultures have extreme foods , the Germans have saurkraut , Koreans have kimche which are fermented foods ,we as Americans ingest the golden arches prepared foods which are probably more disgusting and unhealthy than any other food and usually prepared by digruntled teenagers who could care less .

It's preserved, like pickles, only with eggs. Even though I am Chinese I prefer fresh eggs too.

808stevan1, its essentially fermented. like Kim chi or saurkraut. not necessarily "rancid" but also not technically cooked.

Player #14716751, in Norway they eat fermented fish with ash mixed in it and in Sweden they have something similar. Some places eat blood pudding blood soup and blood sausages. Thinking of this is making my stomach weak. I only like to eat bbq chicken.

Each to their own. There is probably something in every cuisine that another thinks is awful.

the Chinese still eat everything possible due to the great famine caused by the emporers. I'd not choose to eat some of the crazy food over there, but I reckon if you're actually starving you would learn to eat anything at all.

Stephanie.S., those would be hard boiled eggs that were cooked too long and refrigerated too long. yes they are not good to eat.

Centenarian, you are incredible! But if all the very culturally different foods I want to try...this is NOT on my bucket list. Thanks for the heads up!

it's a regular egg that's fermented and in clay. the process cooks it and comes out like a boiled egg but resembles jelly because of the black translucent color from the oxidation. think of jerky, meat is suppose to be red but drying it comes out black sometimes.

it's just like pickling foods or cheese that's fermented. However, I wouldn't recommend eating it plain as is unless you like really strong pungent flavors. I enjoy it in my rice congee, really the only time I eat it. never tried it in a dish before.

It’s an acquired fast, just like durian. People either hate it or love it.

Whoever thought to eat green eggs that smelled of Hydrogen Sulphide and Ammonia? I'd have to be dying of hunger to try that!

Sharon , I read somewhere that the only things the Chinese do not eat are wolf’s heart and dog’s lungs as these are too bitter . I don’t know if this is true

I tried it in a buffet breakfast and I felt like throwing up immediately. The worst thing I had have ever tried in my life.

When it comes to exotic food, one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm not into slimy or stinky.
