In Dongyang, China, urine-boiled eggs are a delicacy. These aren’t your standard hard-boiled or pickled eggs — these have been soaked and boiled in prepubescent boys’ urine. Food vendors collect the urine from local elementary schools; according to chef Lu Ming, the younger the boys, the better their urine. LINK
