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.
