No, no, no it wasn't the green eggs and ham thing. Apparently the eggs are a delicacy. I heard, but don't know for sure that they were called hundred year eggs. I was told that they were boiled, left in the shell, and then coated with ashes and horse urine. Something about the ashes and horse urine preserved the eggs without refrigeration, at least for a period of time. Probably not a hundred years. When I do a search on Google to find the real story behind the eggs, it probably won't be as cool as ashes and horse urine. A lot of years ago I encountered the same green eggs.
