11. The Virgin Boy Eggs
Local residents make and eat urine-boiled eggs.
The Virgin Boy Eggs (VBE) is a famous commodity and delicacy in Dongyang, province of Zhejiang, eastern China for thousands of years now, Gizmodo reported. The key ingredient is young boys’ urine, which are collected from primary school toilets. These are just regular chicken eggs but soaked in a pot of urine then brought to a boil. The egg shells are cracked to allow fuller penetration and are bathed regularly with fresh piss to prevent them from overheating. Each egg costs about $0.25, which is four times the amount of a regular egg. The Chinese tradition reveals the VBE to provide an improvement of a person’s blood circulation, invigoration and reduces risks of heat stroke.
