[quote=JETSETTER,434473]Personally, I enjoy the flavour of Century Eggs, especially in Congee. If you search "Century eggs' on wikipedia, You will find the following "According to a persistent misconception, century eggs are, or were once, prepared by soaking eggs in horse urine. The myth may arise from the pungent odor of ammonia given off by century eggs, which is reminiscent of urine." Also "In Thai and Lao, the common word for this type of preserved egg literally means "horse urine eggs", either due to this myth or the distinctive ammonia odor of century eggs:" Thai & Lao word: khai yiao ma Regardless of the myth surrounding the Century Egg, I will continue to enjoy the flavour.
