Xian Ya Dan

I'm craving some of this right now with xi fan (rice porridge). You white folks enjoy this stuff? 🙂 So good, but my mom says it's full or preservatives and will probably kill me. I'm sad 🙁

Correction! It is actually called Pi Dan. A description fo Xian Ya Dan was posted by yuchai!

Hooray 🙂 Haven't had this stuff for a longass time. These eggs, bamboo shoots, those salty tofu-shaped cubes, and pickled cucumbers... a staple in any asian family 😛

"Honey, are those the eggs I smell or is it time to clean the litter box again?"

 

[shocksyde]

Wow, it would be hard to get over both the smell and the sight of that dish. It's like zombie eggs!

This guy knows what he's talking about 🙂

It's like stinky tofu! All you haters don't know what you're missing 😛

 

[Nitemare]

[OutHouse]

asians eat some of the nastiest things. why would you even put that in your mouth?

 

[Anubis]

From wikipedia:

From a distance, the odor of stinky tofu is said to resemble that of rotten garbage or manure, even by its enthusiasts.

So between this and the eggs...you basically like eating food that smells like shit.

throw a little Dorian fruit in there for dessert

Don't forget salted duck eggs as well.

One of my favorite dishes is made with both types of eggs:
"Golden & Silver eggs with vegetables" ?????

For the record, I wouldn't even touch balut (half developed duck eggs), but this stuff is delicious.

It's disgusting to look at but I grew up on it and didn't know any better. Much like people who still eat seafood.

I still eat it once in a while as long as it's accompanied with something. It also has to have the right texture... too much gunk or too solid and it's just bad. In between... perfect. 😀

This dish is actually called Pi Dan. Xian Ya dan is what yuchai posted.

Again, much like the idea of most seafoods... why would anyone think a foot-long insect with claws would be edible? Why would some tribes eat tarantulas? It's all nasty and most likely began with necessity.

I hear some people also still eat insects of the sea.

I think he's referring to shrimps and lobsters.

Last time I checked shellfish don't smell like garbage, manure, sulfur, or ammonia.

So as long as it smells fine, it qualifies as food? Yeah sure.

Give me a response to what I asked about eating creepy crawlers in general then you can start splitting hairs about smell vs. looks. Actually, I'd like to see Citrix' response more.
