Why? Is it because it's left to ferment?

Jesus Christ. Just because I hate thousand year eggs because they're fermented doesn't mean I hate other fermented food. Besides how long did you take to write that damn list?

Fries with spicy Cajun seasoning. Hella tasty.

Because I hate eggs and most aged or fermented foods aside from pickled vegetables. So an aged fermented egg is a hard pass.

[Thepeopl]

False advertising. Those eggs aren't REALLY a thousand years old.

True

What should it be called? Twenty year egg?

The minimum waiting period is 100 days. After that, it's your choice.

It's all about branding. "3 month old egg" just sounds like a gross rotten egg. a century egg or a thousand year egg sounds exotic and mystical.

Fries poll write-in: Greek fries with tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, and paprika sprinkled on top.

They both equally look and sound nice.

I feel like such a basic bitch, but recently I've been eating a lot of quinoa and it's really starting to satisfy my cravings for pasta. It's considerably healthier too...Has anyone tried quinoa (plus some other food as the base) as a replacement for typical pasta dishes? How'd it turn out?

More humane than the slaughterhouse that awaits many of my brethren.

Anyway, I never had cajun fries.

Thousand year eggs SUCK I tell you. Don’t even think of eating them

I actually ate one in some congee down in a Chinatown restaurant in NYC -- the sort of place people who aren't Chinese point to the menu for what they want.

I liked it.

Modern
Even though the traditional method is still widely practiced, modern understanding of the chemistry behind the formation of century eggs has led to many simplifications in the recipe. Today, soaking raw eggs in a solution of table salt, calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate for 10 days, followed by several weeks of aging while wrapped in plastic, is said to achieve the same effect as the traditional method. This is because the chemical reaction needed to produce century eggs is accomplished by introducing hydroxide and sodium ions into the egg, regardless of the method used.
