Comment on presentation: Virgin boy eggs

One of the presentations that stood out was Milan’s presentation about virgin boy eggs. Appearantly it’s a chinese delicacy, now what are virgin boy eggs you might ask. Well, virgin boy eggs are eggs that were left soaking in little boy’s urine. Preferably under the age of ten. The mixture is set the boil, and when done, the eggs are placed back in fresh urine, and the process is repeated. This process is to let the eggs ‘cure’ in the urine. Different herbs might be added in the process. And when done, is sold out on the streets. Even though this is seen as a delicacy, the idea of eating eggs soaked in urine doesn’t seem that appetizing to me. Although the presentation sure did teach me more about other cultures, if someone were to offer me a sample in real life i’d surely politely decline.
