Century eggs are cooked by chemical reaction by being buried in the traditional way. Now the process is simulated so you don't get the dirt and rice husk covering but there are additive in this process which is not good for you.

My local host is always disappointed that HQ sent them a Chinese and they can't play the make fun of the foreigner with out exotic food.

I am still experimenting with what you can add to KD to take it to the next level.

As for my personal motto, it is the same from my Chinese heritage:
Eat anything with four legs unless it is a table or a chair.
This one for FTers:
Eat anything with wings and fins unless it is an airplane.
It was a purposeful exaggeration on my part.

I grew up on century eggs.. what's more unpalatable is the half incubated eggs where the chick is half developed.. which I've had the pleasure of trying.
