"Tong Zi Dan" (Virgin Boy Egg) is one of the delicacy and a popular
snack for the spring time in Dongyang, China that is known for their
goodness for human's health such as reducing body heat, reinvigorating
the body and enhance blood circulation. They boil the eggs in
prepubescent boys preferably under the age of 10.
Apparently you won't get stroke if you eat these 'fragrant' eggs. They
sell these eggs for 1.50 yuen and it is apparently fresh and salty (well
of course it is salty, duh)
They collect urine by going to primary schools toilet, leaving buckets
around. Don't worry, those sick boys are not allowed to pee in the
bucket. They must be sad not being able to contribute to the making of
these special eggs.
It takes a day to make "Virgin boy eggs". They have to soak and boil raw
eggs in a pot of urine. When the shells of the hard boiled eggs are
cracked, it is continued to simmer in urine for hours. They are to keep
refilling the urine into the pot and control fire in order to avoid over
heated and over cooking.
