100 - Year Old Egg

Appetizier to my dinner tonight.

I somewhere read that if you can brave a hundred-year old egg, you can consider yourself an honorary Hong Konger. Eggs are buried in a clay, sand and salt mixture for a couple of months, melting their insides to jelly. The shell of the egg turns brown or black, but it's the inside where the real surprise awaits - ugly looking dark green yolk.

Despite the repulsive look it actually tastes just like boiled egg. Even better with a bit of sugar and ginger.
