I can't help but imagine the origins. Long ago, someone either found an egg or tried to preserve an egg this way. They opened it up and found ... that ... and ate it anyway. After not dying, a delicacy was born.

I imagine this is how a lot of previously unthinkable things that required aging were made. Cheese, wine, etc.

My favourite in that respect is a kind of mushroom that you can buy in Finland.

It's deadly poisonous. Unless you cook it thrice and discard the water each time.

I can't fathom the thought process that went into finding this out.

The delicacys of today are the desperate hungers last find of yesterday. Rat-embryos? Delicious, if everything else is eaten.
