In Dongyang, China, spring is in the air... wait a minute, that's not spring, it's the unmistakable aroma of 'Virgin Eggs'. Sold steaming hot on Dongyang streetcorners, eggs boiled in the urine of young boys are said to be the perfect springtime tonic.
 
The city of Dongyang, located in eastern China's Zhejiang Province, has a long and proud history dating back to its founding in the year 195 AD. After nearly 2,000 years the city can boast a host of unique and distinctive cultural traditions. One of the most unique is the eating of tong zi dan (童子蛋), or “Boy Egg”... chicken eggs boiled in the urine of prepubescent boys.

Typically prepared by vendors at streetcorner kiosks in the spring, Virgin Eggs have become part of the city's cultural fabric; so much so that in 2008 Dongyang city authorities officially recognized the practice as part of their heritage. ...

Kinda makes the 1,000 year eggs sound appetizing compared to this.

Don't knock balut.  Done right it's damn good.

But yeah, I'm thinking I've finally found something I won't eat.

Balut...I had to go look it up, and a picture was included. 

I'm going to hurl.  You stick that in your mouth, Sparky?  Swallowed?  Bleeeaaagh!!!

Oh, trust me, that ain't the worst thing I've ever eaten by a longshot.  Remember Andrew Zimmern's show, Bizzarre Foods?  I used to sit there when he visited places I've been and go, "Ate that...ate that...tried that...oooohhh...didn't get that!"

My idea of a "perfect springtime tonic" does not include piss.
