Eggs as old as 1000 years old

An egg as old time 

an egg as old as rhyme...

wait eggs can last longer then few weeks and be editable O.o

Thats right, this week's bizarre food is 1000 year old eggs. A Chinese cuisine that is made by preserving a duck, chicken or quail egg in a special clay mix for months at a time. The process makes the egg yolk turn black, and its supposed to enhance the flavor of the surrounding egg white, which becomes clear and gooey. The process goes a little like this...

Bury the eggs in a large crock that's been layered and lined with garden soil, and then store in a cool dry place for 3-4 months. Ingredients include a blend of equal parts of ash from charcoal, pine wood, and fireplace, along with salt and strong black tea.

SO... you start with EGGS

Add TIME with a few ingredients

                               

And your end results are called 1000 year old EGGs

                  and heres a little video about the 1000 year old egg

I have seen these eggs before but thats about it I've never smelled one or ate one, but the way people describe the way it smells and taste I don't know if I'm going to jump at the opportunity to eat one of these 1000 year old eggs. This is mostly due to food psychology. Foods that have strong unpleasant odors and are colors that are darker like Black, Blue or Purple we as people usually stay away from because these darker colors are related to raw or uneatable foods. 

So i guess you can add another style of eggs to your list theres;

Pouched

Scrambled

Sunny side up

Hard Boiled 

Hard Boiled with ingredients and then stored for pretty much ever.
