Cool food update

Some would consider the below food bizarre, but the men in the McLain family were all fascinated and delighted by it.  It's a 100 year old egg!  Ok, so it's not really 100 years old but when you look at the pictures I think you'll have to admit it's a bit daunting on sight.  It's basically a cured egg that a coworker gave us after visiting their hometown.  The egg is cooked and then cured somehow by caking the shell with an interesting mixture that looks like dirt.  Upon opening, you'll see below how translucent the egg was.  Everyone wanted to touch it and I was afraid for a minute that it would get bounced on the floor just to see what would happen.  Upon slicing it, we all agreed it tasted like egg (although the texture was maybe a tad more rubbery).  It was very mild and took on the flavor of the sauce we dipped it in.
