Ahhh, Spring.

Some of us mark the season of renewal by cleaning our homes from top to bottom. Others add pastels to their wardrobe. In the Eastern Chinese city of Dongyang, they eat “virgin boy eggs” — hard-boiled eggs marinated and simmered in urine, according to Reuters.

Residents praise the local delicacy for its ability to prevent colds, increase circulation and boost vitality.

“These eggs cooked in urine are fragrant,” said Ge Yaohua, 51, who owns one of the more popular “virgin boy eggs” stalls. “Our family has them for every meal. In Dongyang, every family likes eating them."

Vendors collect buckets of boy's urine from from local schools and homes in order to make the unusual broth.

The eggs are soaked in the urine and then heated over a stove. Then they are taken out of the shells and put back in the urine to simmer.

It takes an entire day to make a batch, and one egg sells for 23 cents, twice the price of a regualr boiled egg.

“It’s so delicious that I can eat 10 eggs a day,” a woman surnamed Liu told Shanghai Daily. “I am addicted."

Wu Yunhua at Dongyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine told the Daily that the urine “diminishes the internal heat of the human body.”

But a traditional doctor said frowns upon the centuries-old delicacy.

“After all, it is waste from the body,” said Huang Jian, chief urologist at Jinhua Central Hospital.

“The smell kills me,” a Mr. Li told the Qianjiang Evening Post. “I feel like throwing up at the thought of it. It stinks.”

Wrap your car with a China flag? :rukidding: Not much to be proud of.

[murd0c]

Only in China...

[LiquidTurbo]

I guess if they boil the shit out of is, it's technically sterile.

But fucks sake. What's wrong with Soy Sauce eggs?? if you want the saltyness?

[AVS_Racing]

Mean while in China :lawl:

[twitchyzero]

it's not THAT surprising considering century-old eggs used to be soaked in horse urine in the old days.

and wasn't there a stupid therapy that came out of japan in the early 2000's to drink your own urine?

[unit]

after all these years of internet, doesnt seem that weird.

[GGnoRE]

That is such counter-intuitive cooking method, I can't even start to comprehend how that shit might have started, not to mention gain popularity.

[ilovebacon]

[LiquidTurbo]

Bear Grills favorite snack, these eggs, washed down with some Urine.

[BaoTurbo]

[LiquidTurbo]

Apparently that's delicious.

[Oleophobic]

What kind mandarin accent is that? Dongyang or whatever? Sounds like shit

[Ronin]

...oh what the f...

[Heroo]

....But why.....:heckno:

[urrh]

I feel like if a person in china hears something related to health, that person will take it to heart as if that bit of info has been passed down for generations. It's the only explanation i have for all the crazy things they believe; my mom included.

[SB7]

Apparently that's delicious.

Hmmm... Maybe. I hear its definitely an acquired taste and the last time I had it was when I was a kid. I guess i'll try it again sometime and maybe it will taste better :accepted:

[cliffhanger33]

:heckno:




Anyone try balut?

[jackmeister]

this makes century egg (pei dan) better :fuckthatshit:

changing a yellow and clear substance into green and black :fuckthatshit:

[nickmak]

ah dang! and i made eggs this evening and they sucked ass! now i know why. i needed virgin boy urine! i've gonna try that shit out next time. anyone got a little brah or something??

[mickz]

Goes to show you that some Chinese people will eat ANYTHING that they think will be beneficial to their body/health despite how outrageous it may sound.

[nns]

^That sort of devotion in cultures is not limited to food.

[vafanculo]

I'm sure most of rs could contribute to this broth.

[LP700-4]

WTF are they gonna create next? Deep fried shit?

[Klobbersaurus]

next up, eggs cooked in jizz by virgin boys under the age of 18 cuz they are still youthful, will reverse aging

[FerrariEnzo]

Alright, I will never eat anything that has eggs when I go to china!!

[rsx]

I ate Balut - chicken fetus intact and drink the "soup" in it. It was delicious.

Who am I to judge a culture that I never grew up in? Personally, it's gross, but I would never ridicule it.

Everyone has their own culture. If it's not hurting anyone, what do I care?

[FN-2199]

You should try balut

Oh, did your balut come with virgin chinese boy urine?

[jack3d]

thought the title ment virgin boy urinates hard boiled eggs..

[Lomac]

[The_AK]

Hmmm... Maybe. I hear its definitely an acquired taste and the last time I had it was when I was a kid. I guess i'll try it again sometime and maybe it will taste better :accepted:

I'll stick to my Pei Dan (Century Egg)
According to Wiki, Pei Dan's are made " in a brine of salt, calcium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate for 10 days"


Also:
Urine is an aqueous solution of greater than 95% water, with the remaining constituents, in order of decreasing concentration urea 9.3 g/L, chloride 1.87 g/L, sodium 1.17 g/L, potassium 0.750 g/L, creatinine 0.670 g/L and other dissolved ions, inorganic and organic compounds.
Urine is sterile until it reaches the urethra, where epithelial cells lining the urethra are colonized by facultatively anaerobic Gram negative rods and cocci.[4] Subsequent to elimination from the body, urine can acquire strong odors due to bacterial action,[citation needed] and in particular the release of ammonia from the breakdown of urea.

I'm no Chem Major, but I'm pretty sure if you boil urine, you're only left with Ammonia. And if ingested, it becomes Ammonium Hydroxide :heckno:
So basically, they're eating eggs boiled in

I don't feel sorry for anybody eating these eggs, and creating future health complications. If they're stupid enough to eat this, they deserve it.

[GLOW]

:denied::inout:

[Pooface55]

Not sure which one is worse... This or the baby head soup...

baby head soup?!

[Akinari]

Mother of god, what is this I don't even...

What's next, cum-filled dumplings? "Gives it that nice extra kick of flavour!"

[Culture_Vulture]

Part of me wants to say "Typical RS overreaction".

Is it fucked up? Yes. Are they to be condemned because of their fucked up devotion to a food item? No.
As if this is the best answer any of you can come up with as to why China is so fucked up.

Americans have an unhealthy obsession with beef grilled on lard. Get over it.

[daica-viet]

thats funny even the doctor says it smells

[124Y]

:heckno:

[finbar]

Who dreamed up the piss egg in the first place?
What were they thinking?
"Hey I've got an awful lot of virgin boy piss just taking up space,
and all those fucking eggs aren't helping with the clutter one bit.
I know, hold my beer, watch this."

And then persuade others it's a delicacy.
That was probably an entertaining conversation;

Piss egg boy (PEB)
Here, I'll give you a dollar if you eat this egg,
Derp
Fuck off, that's a piss egg.
PEB
Yeah, but it's virgin boy piss, the best!
Derp
Fuck it, gimmee the dollar, nom nom nom.
Hey, not half bad, got another?

Facts mangled for brevity. Names changed to protect the innocent.

and here we are, thousands of piss egg eaters can't be wrong.
People pay money for 'em.

Does feeding the virgin boy asparagus help sales?
I'd better stop right there.
