Thousand Year Old Eggs + Beer =

sounds like a good combo..

I should inquire in the Asian hood where can I get it, they sell Balut, I'm sure I can find those too

yeah any chinese store for the most part............fyi these eggs arent found in the fridge generally they are in a cardboard/styrofoam box on a shelf , balut is really good, however i had to close my eyes while trying it ; it totally looks disgusting heheh

I'm Cambodian. Lived in Cambodian for 7 months last year. Never touch the Fried Spiders. Gives me the creeps. Heck, everything that Cambodians do gives me creeps sometimes.

I have not tried Balut, but we have it near us in the Philipino market. It may be the only food that I'm actually skird of!

the mere thought of balut makes me wanna barf.

I like century eggs - make a nice congee with them.

if solo, cut into quarters longwise, soak in black soy vinegar, put some 'Red ####### Sauce' on em, is great snack. not healthy at all, but great snack.

I used to find them from PRC in the stores, now only find them from TW, maybe I look again, see which COO has them? Was Big Problem with the Avian Flu, could not get them as often for a coupla years.

century eggs ain't balut- please - who-ever is making that association - stop it. TIA!

You eat that and you will die.

Eat anything and you will die, eventually...

Great photos, Marina.

I have still not tried huitlacoche. Must put it on my list of things to do this month!

I would try fugu after first watching others eat it and not die.

seriously dude, u gotta try it..

Marking it on my calendar. I will have tried it before the end of October...or my name isn't Rothsbury.

Uh...your name isn't Rothsbury

Haven't had them on the half-shell, but Uni, Sea Urchin sushi, is awesome

I've tried durian, the hardest part for me is the nasty aftertaste, that just doesn't go away.

I say "half shell" for clarity. What that really means is that they are split and served raw, with a spoon...

Most Sashimi places that I visited while living in Japan, served them that way. I tried that once...
