Century egg, also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, and thousand-year-old egg, 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 from around 9 to 12 or more. This chemical process breaks down some of the complex, flavorless proteins and fats, which produces a variety of smaller flavourful compounds. Some eggs have patterns near the surface of the egg white that are likened to pine branches. From Wikipedia under the

Q. okay, so my friend is having her 16th birthday party soon and i'm helping her plan it. she wants to get some really gross food. so far, we have century eggs, chocolate covered crickets, and maybe even mealworms. are there any other gross foods out there that we can get in the Seattle area? and i also haven't figured out what to get her for a birthday present yet. she's not feminine at all and obviously, she likes gross stuff and she jokes about taking over the world. she's really talkative and random and she is easily amused by random objects but really picky about movies.
