Disgusting Virgin Boy Eggs Are A Chinese Delicacy



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?

I remember a story about vendors in China using dirty cardboard to make dumplings. Turned out to be a hoax. Then there was the big story about the conditions in Apple's factories in China. Then we learned that the writer of the story fabricated much of it. Turns out a lot of crazy stories from China aren't true.

Probably still not so disgusting as some of the things we eat in the west. The difference being that we are willfully ignorant of what goes into our food.

Long time listener, first time poster to the site... this has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard of.
*and my ears hears quite a few things*

It's called a joke, but since some readers can't seem to understand that I have edited the article. But really, would you want some food peddler showing up at a primary school collecting urine? That's a bit sick, don't you think?

Why, oh why can't I type Chinese in the comments?

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).

The reason you want to watch what words you use is that words can be powerful and using them without cause can drain them of that power. Words like pedophilia, racism, etc., will continue to be taken seriously only as long as they are not diluted with things that don't fit the definition.

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.
