Duck Tongue

Has anyone here had the Xiu Wen Food duck tongue? I was just eating the few packets that we have left, and I was wondering how much a bag of it was, since my parents rarely buy it.
It was $30.00 on the Xiu Wen Food's website. It wasn't even including the charge of shipping it over.
Does anyone know why it's so expensive?
Other than the fact that it's from China.

 

Huh, I dunno! Never had it!

 

Since you want a delicacy, try the century egg (they are cheaper) and share your experience with us

 

Pretty sure I've already eaten that lol.

It was only when I was younger, though, so I don't remember much of the taste.

 

It's a bit like jelly with a slightly salty taste, it's not bad. Think of it as pickled eggs, it isn't something totally out of this world, pickling isn't as ... disgusting.. as something like balut.

 

... really?

 

Sigh.. yes really. It just looks weird, tastes like lightly salted jelly.

 

That's the white part, the yolk taste creamy

 

I think century egg goes really well with various kinds of porridge!

 

Well, as far as I know there are lots of recipes for it, like this century eggs salad

 

In my opinion, century egg taste horrible if you didnt ate it with porridge

 

I couldn’t stand the smell of century egg.

my adventures in cuisine are limited to silkworm larvae, rattlesnake and buffalo.

 

Never sniff food lol.
Especially vacuum packed army food. They use nitrogen to keep an inert environment and after a time, some of the nitrogen becomes ammonium compounds so it'll stink. So... never sniff food lol.

 

I have had major allergies all my life...sense of smell is mostly gone.

but century eggs managed to penetrate THAT. Do not eat!

 

Bah, we keep telling you they taste better than they smell. lol.

 

How much better? There is no way it could taste that much better, to actually enter the ranks of edible food.

 

Not a single F-bomb was given but a single duck tongue was!
