Boys' urine in high demand - for cooking eggs
Straits Times ^

DONGYANG (Zhejiang) - Following breast milk banquets in the southern city of Changsha comes news that children's urine is being used to cook eggs in eastern China.

The Chinese Business View reported that residents in Dongyang City of Zhejiang province believed eggs cooked in the urine of young boys were nourishing.

It said people were queuing with washbasins in hand outside every primary school.

Some even turned to the principals or teachers to help them collect the urine.

A check by the Chinese-language newspaper at one primary school found washbasins were placed in the boys' toilets.

A principal said some teachers even placed them in the classrooms, filling the rooms with a terrible stench.

The newspaper said eggs cooked in the urine were considered valued gifts for friends and relatives because it was not easy to obtain a boy's urine.

A teacher who has been teaching for more than 20 years said the practice had been going on for years in the villages, where residents would line up outside schools for their 'ration' of urine.

HA! - They let the secret out there! - This is the breakfast you make for friends and relatives when they have stayed long enough and you want them to go home!

We Norwegians have a similar custom called Lutefiske!

No one leaked this. You're just pissing into the wind! ;^)

P.S. this is one of the grossest threads to which I have ever contributed.
