CHINA, Mar 29 (bdnews24.com/Reuters)-- Eggs boiled and simmered in urine of virgin boys are a popular springtime snack in eastern China.
There's an unmistakeable scent from these hard-boiled eggs sold on the streets of Dongyang in eastern China.
They are soaked and boiled in urine. Yes -- urine -- of young boys, preferably those below the age of 10. Hence, the name "virgin boy eggs".
It's a popular springtime snack in Dongyang, and touted for its health benefits.
(SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) 51-YEAR-OLD EGG VENDOR GE YAOHUA, SAYING:
"If you eat this, you will not get heat stroke. These eggs cooked in urine are fragrant. They are good for your health. Our family has them for every meal. In Dongyang, every family likes eating them."
It takes a full day to prepare the snack, starting off with collecting urine from boys' toilets. Then the eggs are soaked and boiled in a pot of urine, after which the shells are cracked, and the eggs are simmered in the same urine for hours.
hose who snack on the eggs say they help decrease body heat and promote better blood circulation that can make one feel reinvigorated.
59-YEAR-OLD DONGYANG RESIDENT, LU YANGZHEN:
"Our ancestors were already doing this. By eating these eggs, we will not have any pain on our waist, legs and joints. Also, you will have more energy when you do work."
But not all folks in Dongyang are convinced.
38-YEAR-OLD DONGYANG RESIDENT, WANG JUNXING:
"I don't feel like eating these eggs. Other people like to eat it because we have this tradition in Dongyang that these eggs are nourishment for our health and that it would help prevent things like getting a cold. I don't believe in all this, so I do not eat it."
Medical experts are have mixed reviews about the health benefits, and some warn of sanitary issues in this unique delicacy.
But this hasn't stopped the local government from declaring the "virgin boy eggs" as an intangible cultural heritage. [/quote]

Wow, they collect the urine from toilets?
I mean it's unsanitary as it is but at least pissing directly into the pot would make things a [i]little[/i] cleaner.

I'll give you 5 minutes.
Normally I'd ask who the fuck came up with the idea for this but I think I'll pass on that question this time.
...Why virgin, or young, boy urine?

so they can, call them virgin, boy eggs

It would actually be [I]a lot[/I] more sanitary. The toilet water is going to be by far the dirtiest part of that mixture.
That being said I wouldn't trust anyone who considers the urine of small boys to be part of a delicacy with the task of collecting said urine from anywhere but an unoccupied toilet.
Whoever came up with this idea must have been really hungry for a boiled egg and really desperate for water.
It makes total sense though as to why they say it gives more energy. I think it would be a good, but disgusting testosterone supplement.

Or a prank gone wrong. Wrong being the victim liked the eggs.
This sounds like something Lrrrr from Futurama would eat.
Or any other crazy person/thing.
I think a pedobear would like this kind of meal
Really gross.
:vomit:
Seriously, what the fuck?
[i]Urine[/i]-boiled eggs sold in [i]Dong[/i]yang, haha.
I wonder what was going through the creator's mind when they decided virgin boy-piss soaked eggs helps circulation and lowers body heat.

The amount of Urine remaining in the egg would likely be relatively small.
The amount of testosterone your body would absorb would likely be even smaller.
The amount of testosterone in pre-pubescent urine would again be even smaller.
So no, I'd have to say that particular angle doesn't quite hold water.
wtf I'm going to have to ask my dad about this
Disgusting.
I could try making some myself sometime.
I am not ten but the virgin part still works.
China wanted a piece of the "WTFJapan?!" pie
Was in Himmel?
I'd love to buy some piss eggs from Dongyang.
Don't eat the yellow eggs!
I like eggs, y'know?
this sounds like either a mistranslation or the same kind of crap as that fetus soup deal a few years back

It's not that farfetched, people have eaten weirder things. At least, compared to the fetus soup thing anyway.
