MOVED!!!

MOVED!!!
I don't think I would like them w/o the yolk to break it up though
papermint tiger
man, i sort of want these now
papermint tiger
it sounds like the only food i'd enjoy eating hard boiled egg yolks in
papermint tiger
normally i find them too dry and chalky, but they'd be perfect in the middle of a sweet thing
MOVED!!!
Yeah it's a nice contrast
STRAWHAT
it's not really hard boiled it's like
STRAWHAT
salted preserved duck egg yolk HAHAHA
STRAWHAT
i can eat like a quarter of one
