Wow... firstly, I agree that they should have stuck with the Chinese name, century egg haha! Secondly, fair play for trying these! I don't think I would bring myself to it... However I do try most things. But if they smell awful... and that black yolk? eww...
I'm the same with Durian, I can't stand the smell. I purchased some before, and tried a few pieces, then leaving it in my fridge overnight I awoke to an unholy smell in my apartment! Not again!
omg i can't believe you put durian in your fridge overnight. I bet it has permanently changed the chemical makeup of the interior.
Haha! It was quite some task to try and get rid of that smell.... I still can't believe how strong it was! Never again
