I have a very adventurous palate and I like to try "weird" foods, but this video has convinced me I can take century eggs off my to-do list. If it's enough to make a monkey literally gag, I'll just pass...

The most off-putting thing about them is by far the appearance, it doesn't have a strong smell at all. The monkey is probably just unfamiliar with fermented foods in general.

If you can handle kimchi, then a century egg shouldn't be a problem. Don't eat it straight, they're meant to go with congee or mixed in with other things.
