Eating Black Eggs!

Few years ago i visited a good friend in China.

I did also expect to try new things!

Here i get to try Black Duck eggs!

Some people call them 100 year old eggs!

To start with! They are not cooked!

They have been wrapped in Mud & herbs for a very long time.

Its this that gives the eggs a black look.

At the side of my plate is a Glass of Chinese Whiskey.

I respect other peoples tastes and try to understand why they like them.

So even if i don't like what I'm eating!

I will eat more to try and help myself understand the taste they like.

My description of the taste here is:

Mil due rotting books in a damp cellar.

And yes it tastes very old!

Maybe its the oldness that is the acquired taste.

I had the whiskey to wash my mouth with after!

Just in case my body don't take to it.

The whiskey was nice! it had a slight creamy aftertaste with a taste that was also carried in the drinking water.

It was a taste element that followed the Sake and Firewater and the wines.

This alone took me time to get used to.

When i was in the supermarket with my friend nie.

I picked up a large plastic bottle and said" I would like this to take back"

Nie said" NO! its not normal water!! Its Fire water.

I was amazed that us English people can make a mistake like that.

It was like 78% Alc water.

I did get to try it later that day when i was invited to meet Nie's Friends.

I Gambay with them all (That's like Bottoms up) with shots of drinks!

But in this case it was Fire Water.

Lucky i had some Jasmin Tea in a Large glass jug to keep filling my Mug.

so it was Gambay,Tea,Gambay,Tea etc. .

If i didn't have the tea on hand i would have gotten totally Hammered.

It was Gambay with all of the nie's friend's one by one.

I had to keep my head on!

It was fun anyway.
