reminder that penecillin was accidentally invented when a chemist was too lazy to empty out his garbage bin

is good

yeah but century eggs aren't penicillin

accidently ate a piece in a soup in cambodia

wasn't terrible but i chugged my big, cold tiger instantly

He didn't try to eat the disgusting moldy-ass orange though

They taste good. They do smell, but it's not really an issue. Modern method is more like a science experiment. You could buy them done but you risk buying shady shit made with toxic faster acting chemicals.

>The extremely toxic compound lead(II) oxide speeds up the reactions which create century eggs, leading to its use by some unscrupulous producers

classic china moment

>missing the point

>>19168998 (OP)

They look weird, but they just have a stronger "eggy" flavor than normal hardboiled eggs.

>do chinks really?

If you think this is the most remarkable nonsense they eat, I have some really bad news for you, newbie.

Frogs, snails and Camembert in France?

Sushi and whale meat in Japan?

Caviar in Russia?

Lobsters in the southern USA?

Casu martzu in Sardinia?

Surströmming in Sweden?



All "fancy dishes" that originated from famine and extreme poverty, people risking stuff that could kill them because the risk was better than certainty of death from starvation. And once the famine was over, pretending it's gourmet and by choice, not literally last resort.

>Lobsters in the southern USA?

These things are not lobsters, and nobody considers them fancy. They're like a novelty festival food at best.

If you're trying to stop food poisoning, that won't do jack shit. At the very least, you'd need a higher alcohol content drink like spirits or maybe a very strong wine. But even that won't help if you're ingesting bacteria shit.

He chugged it to get the taste out of his mouth, not to “kill bacteria”

>pretending

No need to pretend in the case of Camembert, sushi, snails and lobsters.

Most of that is just seafood but even the weird stuff is still served fresh and prepared like normal food instead of rotting in mud and/or chemicals for months.

powerful autism

>coping this hard

you're wrong and stop defending eating bad food and china piss boy eggs

>Lobsters in the southern USA?

lmao this gotta be bait

>>19168998 (OP)

same reason people drink water filtered the roasted ground up poison filled seeds from the coffee plant.

same reason someone left barley soaking in water for several weeks and decided to drink the foul smelling results.

same reason people eat cheese flavored with the actual germs from their feet used to break up the curds.

same reason people make a soup from the slobber of birds gathered from shit covered nests.

>>19168998 (OP)

They look like geodes

Century eggs are tasty though, you coulda picked better bait like balut or something

>>19168998 (OP)

People did all sorts of weird stuff to preserve food before reliable freezers were available.

>>19168998 (OP)

For me, it's virgin boy eggs

>missing the point twice

>invented
