In Madrid it is called “Milenaria de huevo” and “Seribu Tahun Old Egg“ in Jakarta. What would a resident of Lisbon call it?

Milenar do ovo Commonly known as century egg, preserved egg or thousand year egg. Duck chicken or quail egg is preserved in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months. The yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor or taste. http://www.foodista.com/food/3XVZYBNB/thousand-year-old-egg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_year_old_egg Nov 18 09, 12:08 AM
