wow, looking at your blog makes me hungry :) what's the thing with the 100-year-eggs - are they really that old? i guess this is a beginners question about chinese food, so please excuse ;)
hi bruno, hundred-year egg is also called thousand-year egg but it/s made by preserving duck eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor. One day you'll try it :-)
