Actually they are two different things.  I don't have my book here at work
with me so I can't give exact recipes but I was actually talking about the
tea eggs which I think are called hundred year eggs and the others are 1,000
year eggs.  Of course, we have to remember that it is (::me::) talking and
my mind is quiet seive-like...can anyone say "the 60's"??
Olwen who knows they happened...just not much else..
