    Not that I know of, and plus that would be getting a bit too far into "none of my business" territory (of which I'm on the borders of considering my OP :pac:).

    Another thing - any frozen food (food that, critically, must be frozen before cooking) he buys, he always leaves in the fridge. So this all thaws out and then he cooks it thawed. Is that not dangerous? (Breaded chicken strips pieces from Iceland, to be specific).

    Depends on what it is that he is leaving in there.
    I think they generally say that frozen food left in the fridge should be consumed within 24 hours, but you would have to check labels on each to verify how long they should be left in there before safely consuming.

    Sounds like he knows very little about food and most likely can't read the labels on things.

    Being an alien is the only rational explanation. Think about it: have you ever seen the eggshells around? He must be eating them whole. Nothing wrong with that of course, it's justthe alien way. Equal rights for all! Or something.

    Heard that one alright, was all the invention of the person that put those egg holders in the fridge. :P

    Don't think it really matters though, they just won't keep any longer in the fridge than they would if they were out of it.

    I don't understand, and clearly noone else does either. Unless he actually is an alien which, for some reason, I'm doubtful of.

    So is it really that difficult to just ask him, as opposed to asking AH?

    Everyone here wants to know now anyway, so you kind of have an obligation to get to the bottom of this mystery.

    That could go real well

    OP: Hi Flatmate

    Chinese Flatmate whose eenglish no so good ( henceforth CFEG): Mildly incomprehensible greeting in reply [either through genuine linguistic difficulties or serious illness due to eating rotten eggs]

    OP: O.K. so lets cut to the chase here as my cyber aquaintances back in Ireland are all dying to know....Are you in fact an alien?, its just cos you eat rotten eggs like and then theres the whole milk thing going off and the eggs are like heavier than they were when they were not rotten

    CFEG: UUUH (hasnt a clue what OP said)

    OP: (gives it another go this time emphasizing the essential points) Are you in fact an alien....ALIEN.......aAA LLL IIIEEEEN!......ALIEN

    CFEG: uuuh ...... (continues on regardless and later repeats strange sounding word to friend)

    CFEG's friend tells CFEG that his flatmate is planning to report him to immigration


    all manner of hilarity ensues....with sexy results!!!!

    He's Chinese, so I tried Googling some Chinese delicacies that would involved rotten, month-old eggs and sour milk, but can't seem to find any.

    You tried googling and you never came across the term 'century egg'? I declare 'shenanigans'!

    (1) Replacing eggs? With what?
    Bigger eggs
    (2) Nope, the number of eggs were the exact same (beginning to sound like a well thought out experiment!)
    No. I just cant see how an egg will get heavier. Only lighter. But maybe it can happen.
    (3) :pac:
    Even if they do get heavier, its hard to see it happening to such a degree that you could notice the difference.

    I Googled "chinese rotten eggs sour milk" and got no results whatsoever for Century Egg (at least not on the first couple of pages - it's not like I'd know to expect to see Century Egg considering I had no clue what they were).

    But don't take my word for it:

    So how naive are you? What makes assume the two are necessarily connected? Why wouldn't you search for the two separately?

    I would eat it........if I had to eat either it or the Balut egg....some of those pics of a chick embryo attached to a part hardened part seeping yolk + cartilaginous egg white are just past my line.


    Ever checked out the specialist cheese shops? I'm thinking of one in Barcelona in particular that has a hermetically sealed door so the aroma of whats inside wont affect the other businesses beside it.

    They seemed to charge more the furrier it was and I was informed that yes you do eat the fur.

    just out of interest does he get many dates and do they all have sinus problems.

    you'd want to worry if he start to offer to cook you dinner, especially if it's egg fried rice. or if you come home one day and find him dead and try explaining that you didn't poison him.

    So my flatmate is a bit on the strange side. And by this I mean the following:

    - He has eggs in the fridge that have been ONE MONTH out of date. They appear to have solidified/rotted because when you pick the tray up it is very noticeably heavy. But that's not the strange part - the eggs are being eaten, because each day a new one is taken from it.

    - Today as I left the flat there was a carton of milk on his window sill noticeable as you walk past (he must be drinking that sour too).

    Now, does anyone have any clue what the hell is going on here? I consider myself a strange enough person, but this is downright crazy. He's Chinese, so I tried Googling some Chinese delicacies that would involved rotten, month-old eggs and sour milk, but can't seem to find any.

    What does it matter what he eats or drinks. You aren't being forced to partake of the same so let him eat and drink what he wants to.

    found this on strange chinese food Thousand-Year Old Eggs
    If the thought of eating food that could have been served to an Emperor during the Song dynasty offends your culinary sensibilities, relax. Thousand-year-old eggs aren’t really that old. A more accurate name for this pungent hors d’oeuvre would be salted or preserved eggs. Thousand-year old eggs (also called century eggs or hundred-year old eggs), are made by preserving duck eggs in ash and salt for one-hundred days. This turns the white of the egg a darkish gray color, giving the eggs an ancient appearance. Definitely an acquired taste, thousand-year old eggs have a strong salty flavor

    That was interesting. Doesnt explain the rotten milk though.

    Maybe he just throws one rotten egg a day at a car. You say one is missing every day, but it doesn't mean he ate it,

    If the eggs are heavy maybe he can't lift them all so he's throwing them out one at a time.
