Asked by pushuda - Wed Aug 16 02:02:47 2006 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Also called century egg, thousand-year egg and Ming Dynasty egg, all of which are eggs that have been preserved by being covered with a coating of lime, ashes and salt before being shallowly buried for 100 days. The lime "petrifies" the egg, making it look like it's been buried for at least a century. The black outer coating and shell are removed to reveal a firm, amber-colored white and creamy, dark green yolk. The flavor is pungent and cheese like. Eggs from chickens are generally used, though duck and goose eggs are also preserved in this manner. Hundred-year eggs are sold individually and can be found in Chinese markets. They will keep at room temperature (under 70 F) for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator up to a month. These… [cont.]

A. Century egg, also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, thousand-year-old egg, and millennium egg (or Pidan in Mandarin), is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor. The transforming agent in the century egg is its alkaline material, which gradually raises the pH of the egg to around 9, 12, or more.This chemical process breaks down some of the complex, flavorless… [cont.]

what properties are there, in a salted egg?
Q. in philippines, they immerse duck eggs in salted water, or in mangrove muds and they're in these tradition for ages now. it tastes great, and seem to be very appetizing though, its just worrying that its excessive salt content may affect health. how deos it compare to the chinese century egg?
Asked by randomX1 - Fri Aug 24 10:45:34 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The salted egg you're talking about sounds like a cross between two types of eggs in Chinese cuisine. Salted Eggs and Thousand year old eggs (Centry Eggs). The salted egg is typically raw chicken egg (or duck egg) immersed in a brine, while the Centry Egg is covered with an relatively dry ash-salt mixture so the finish product is not as heavily salty. Both are good and, yes, the salted egg is very salty. Typically, the salted egg is mixed or used with other ingredients and not eaten alone like a hard-boiled egg. The Thousand Year Old egg can be eaten as is. I imagine the Filipino duck egg is just as tasty.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Q. It's a question that's been puzzling for centuries. Which came first - the Chicken, or the Egg. Did God create the Chicken inside of the Egg? Or was the Egg created already furtilized, yet not with a grown chick just yet? Perhaps the he created the chicken to lay the egg, and warm it until it was hatched? Thoughts?
Asked by Nagnag - Sat May 20 08:49:37 2006 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is an interesting question. It is somewhat semantic: "What do you mean by 'chicken'? What do you mean by 'egg'?" How you answer those questions may lead to how you answer your original question. Historically, I think you will be able to find evidence of eggs (in general) existing before chickens. They aren't chicken eggs, obviously, but perhaps reptilian eggs, but objects classified as "eggs" nonetheless. As for objects classified as "chickens," they emerged in time much later. So, given this observation, it seems that a correct answer is that the egg came before the chicken, and at some point in history chickens started emerging from eggs.

A. Not only did they keep chickens both for eggs and meat; they also kept store pigs for slaughter and fresh meat en route, goats for milk (cows get seasick and do not thrive on the restricted shipboard diet) and occasionally lambs for a change of meat. The practice of keeping store swine on merchant ships continued into the 20thC - read "The Last Grain Race" by Eric Newby. In the RN, at least in the Napoleonic war, there was a section of a gun-deck called the manger where livestock was kept, including goats, sheep & pigs, as well as fowls (ducks, chickens, turkeys) in coops. Captain Francis Grose, in the 18thC "Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue", a dictionary of slang, explains the word "duckfu cker" as the rating charged with the… [cont.]

Was Humpty Dumpty an egg?
Q. No he wasn't an egg at all. There is a lot of speculation about what Humpty Dumpty is on this site. Now here is the real answer. Humpty Dumpty was a slang in the eighteenth-century for short clumsy person. Humpty Dumpty was also the name of a canon in the sixteenth-century English civil war. He was mounted on a wall and was knocked down by enemy canon fire to the wall he was perched on. The king ordered him put back on the wall using men and horses but they failed to do so because Humpty was to enormous and heavy resulting in the king having to surrender and losing the war.

This set an image of Humpty in the public mind and he's been depicted as an egg ever since.
