Alf Witt Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I am rather partial to the pink shelled pickled eggs which I am told are called Kai Yeo Ma which means "horse piss eggs". Can someone reassure me that the name is not meant to be taken literally? A bit like "kee neow" I hope!! In what liquid are they actually pickled?

According to a persistent myth, century eggs are or once were prepared by soaking eggs in horse urine. However, this is not true since urine is usually acidic or very weakly alkaline, and the myth may arise from the ammonia smell created during some production processes.

Alf Witt Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks for the feedback, all. I had heard of century eggs but didn't realise that they were the same thing. I hope Krazyboi gives them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
