Just when you thought the food eaten by the mainland Chinese couldn't get any stranger, here comes this disgusting delicacy-eggs soaked in the urine of boys under 10 years old.
Called Virgin Boy Eggs, they're a big hit in the city of Dongyang, and the urine is collected from primary schools around town, making this a decidedly local flavor.
Vendors claim the eggs have good health properties, but don't they say that about every gross food item they try to peddle in China?

So ridiculous, but hey.. if this keeps them from killing endangered animals... eat those piss soaked eggs!
So....be careful of the words you use, keep them soft and sweet. You never know, from day to day, which ones you'll have to eat.
Anyway, these things are called tongzidan in Chinese, which is literally "children eggs", not the sensationalized Virgin Boy Eggs news articles like to say.
However, that's as much defense I'll ever offer about this issue. This is a pretty new low for China. I'm just glad nobody's getting hurt over this (I hope).
