If you’re of a delicate disposition it’s probably best you click away now.

We’ve just come across one-thousand-year-old eggs by Alex over at Just Cook It! Although thought of as a delicacy in Asia, the very idea of eating an egg that’s been lying around for 10 centuries is more than gross, and even grosser (if that’s a word) when someone regales every detail of how it tastes when eaten.

“They are a frightening looking foodstuff. If you took an x-ray of a raw egg, asked a three year old to colour it in and took a photograph of the result, the negative of that photo would look similar to a thousand year egg.”

“The very moment I put this odd, quivering brown and grey jelly to my mouth I knew it wasn’t going to end well. The subtlety of the congee was simply lost amid an explosion of rancid sulphur, like a box of old eggs had been cooked in a catalytic converter. Everything about this bizarre foodstuff was repellent – the flavour, the texture, the smell and the appearance. I didn’t listen to it but I dare say if I had, it would have sounded disgusting as well.”

Think we’ll leave the food tasting to him!

Oh, and if you’re wondering, the eggs aren’t really a thousand years old.
