Century eggs are something that Chinese people like to eat. They are in theory, one hundred year old eggs. These eggs can be seen displayed at the windows of shops in Chinatown.
A person can eat these century eggs after they have been chilled in the refridgerator, peeled, cut in half and sprinkled with sugar. They can also add this to rice porridge.
These eggs have a mysterious dark colour as the egg white takes on a ghastly discolouration that is decidedly not white and the egg yolk has taken on a putrid grisly dessication hue, a rancid grey. Like the blue rennet of the most finely rotted Stilton cheese, these eggs have these rotted out looks at their highest quality.
The recipe about how to make these eggs is mysterious.
I live in a small town in the North, just a couple of thousand miles away from the North Pole and these eggs are just about impossible to find up here. I had a yen for these eggs but I did not have the recipe. Still, I thought of a way to, for sure prepare these eggs and get the recipe just right. I wondered about the eggs and how I could get that garbage can quality. That's it!
One morning, I went to a dumpster and put some store bought eggs under the dumpster.
A month later, I went back to the dumpster and fished the eggs out and brought them back to my apartment.
I split the eggs in half with a knife and holy smokes! I got the recipe just right!
