Century eggs literally just taste like very eggy eggs. I'm not sure why they are so widely disliked. I do realise that most westerners have absolute baby level tastes though
I must confess the term "distinctive urine-like odor" in the Wikipedia article does not appeal to me
That article has been written by some Reddit lib. It has no such odor. I've eaten hundreds of the things.
Well now I don't want them
yeah where the piss eggs at?
Everything I can find online says the things smell strongly of ammonia, which can apparently be compared to old human urine or cat urine
It doesn't smell like cat piss or the piss of any kind of animal lol.
Well, take it from me, a person who has eaten them many, many, many times, in China, they do not smell of piss
Edit: this is one of those insane moments where I come across Western brain worms and despite my 100% lived experience that confirms the brain worms are brain worms, I find myself arguing against people who have absolutely zero experience of the topic beyond a Wikipedia article
It's just funny considering that Budweiser sells like hotcakes and it both looks and smells like pee
The taste, of course, is somehow worse
Urine smell is just fermentation. A century egg is only slightly different from a pickled egg in terms of "grossness", and those can be found by the bucket full in like every US gas station.
liking shitty beer is a group self-delusion or alcoholism.
I still remember them putting out that shit-eating ad making fun of pumpkin beer
Heaven forbid people actually enjoy their libations instead of treating it like an act of rebellion to drop $18 on a rack of swill
It has a slight alkaline taste thats a little strong if you eat it on its own, nothjng like piss tho
If it's not slathered in bbq sauce or ketchup I don't want it! 👴🏻
I think people just have never tasted them and believe what they've seen on TV or social media.
