A monkey is grossed out by century egg A century egg, also called pidan, is a Chinese delicacy made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to months, not a hundred years. During the process, the egg changes completely. The white turns dark and jelly-like, while the yolk becomes deep green to nearly black and develops a creamy texture. The flavor is strong and sharp, often compared to sulfur or ammonia. Century eggs are commonly served with congee, dipped in soy sauce, or eaten with pickled ginger. They remain a familiar and popular part of Chinese cuisine. Unique foods everyone should try: bit.ly/48xj4Op
