My dad always thought cake tasted better the next day, so we always had to bake his birthday cake a day ahead and hide it.

I agree.......specifically, cold cake out of the refrigerator.

I worked in systems in a large bank. One Chinese woman in my area and I discussed food often. One day she brought in a 100-year egg for me and she was really surprised I knew what it was. My manager, also Chinese, told me his family ate very small amounts at a time, often with rice.

I ate the egg. Let me just say, it is most certainly an "acquired taste." That was about 30 years ago. I haven't had an overwhelming desire to try them again, but I would.

Having lived in Boston, which has a wonderful Chinatown area, I am always amazed at the ingenuity of Chinese methods of preserving food.

That sounds good

Yes, now I'm trying to find what I did with the recipe to make it again. This is a good thread to jog memories of good meals past.
