Never Ending General Knowledge

Not Clunes

My first thought was Men Behaving Badly too. Is ‘actor’ a red herring? Caroline Quentin?

Not Quentin. It is a man, and he has presented things as well as acted.

Craig Charles?

The Sun is currently a G-Type main sequence star. In 5 billion years.

In roughly five billion years, its hydrogen core will be depleted and it will become what type of star?

A very popular snack in China, but not a specialty of a specific place as far as I know.

By Stinky Eggs, you may be referring to the delicacy: Thousand Year Eggs.
The eggs are preserved for a month or so and become dark green and creamy in texture. Hunan thousand year eggs are the most famous, but they are not a specialty specific to Changsha.

Stinky balls are most commonly found in pubs across England. Not a specialty of Changsha.

Iranu wrote:Tea?

China is of course famous for its variety of teas, particular its various types of green tea. The stinkiest may be Pu'er tea, from Yunnan in the Southwest.

HappyCamper wrote:Stinky tofu?

Correct!
Changsha Stinky Tofu is a staple of snack streets nationwide and produces a truly foul odour. I haven't been able to bring myself to try any, though by all accounts it is delicious.

I pickle eggs every so often but the last few times I've done it, I've made sure to leave one of the original eggs in the jar when I put newly-boiled ones in. So now I have an egg that's been in there for about three years, through multiple cycles of vinegar. It's now a very, very dark brown colour. I call it The Ancient One and when I eat it, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get superpowers of some kind or other.
