Export hopes for urine-boiled eggs

Is this the ultimate in recycling and health foods ???

Would you try it ?

Traditional chefs in China are hoping their local speciality - spring eggs hardboiled in boys' urine - will catch on worldwide.

The dish has been a local delicacy in Dongyang, Zhejiang province, eastern China, for thousands of years.

"The urine is gathered from local schools and the very best comes from boys under 10 years old. They pee in buckets and we collect it fresh every day," explained chef Lu Ming.

Then the eggs are boiled in the urine, first with their shells on and then with them off for a day and a night before they're ready to be eaten.

"The eggs are delicious and healthy. They stop fevers and can help you concentrate if you're feeling sluggish or sleepy," said Ming.

"We are having a big export push because we want people outside China to fully appreciate the delicacy of our cuisine."

Its not any 10 year old boys.. ITS 10 year old boys from Dongyang..

They have been brought up on these eggs, so the extra vitamins and wellbeing ingredients are already present..

Hang on.... all you need to make your own is a couple (or one if he drinks enough) of under 10 year old boys and some eggs. How is there an export market for something almost anyone can make.

"The eggs are delicious and healthy. They stop fevers and can help you concentrate if you're feeling sluggish or sleepy,"

need we say more ?

This is probably why the Chinese live longer and have less aches and pains.

Please place your orders by sending me a PM immediately..

In China people eat(cooked & uncooked) snakes, dogs, frog, etc etc, so these kind of eggs are no big deal for them, i am sure it will be a delicacy for them.

Well, I dont know about importing and consuming it, but how about the other way around, how about I export my+my nephew's urine to China? Its a viable business.
