Now culture officials want to spread the gospel about the recipe which they hope to export to other countries. "The urine is gathered from local schools and the very best comes from boys under 10 years old. They pee in buckets and we collect it fresh every day," explained chef Lu Ming.
Then the eggs - which have official cultural significance status - are boiled in the urine, first with their shells on and then with them off for a day and a night before they're ready to be eaten.
"The eggs are delicious and healthy. They stop fevers and can help you concentrate if you're feeling sluggish or sleepy," said Ming. "We are having a big export push because we want people outside China to fully appreciate the delicacy of our cuisine."

Somehow I doubt this will catch on.
The more I read, the worse it got.
It's a little ok with boiling with shells on and then they boil it with the shells OFF?! Eurgh!
OMG. And can't you just imagine the advertisement to sell this "product"..??
Finally, something appropriate to eat while enjoying a cup of civet poop coffee!
Bear Grylls doesn't want you to throw out the urine when you're done boiling the eggs...
Utterly disgusting. And I had a hard boiled egg at lunch, makes it worse.
