Eating “Balut” in Manila Phillipines

Ok, so probably the #1 nastiest, grossest, most disgusting so-called cuisine i’ve ever eaten and tasted in my entire life is this shit called “balut”. It is a popular snack here in the Phillipines, there are many balut guys driving bicycles around with their balut carts selling balut. I even seen a balut guy who got shot in the head one time. But anyways this shit is an egg that is almost about to hatch in to a little baby duck, you are supposed to eat it a certain amount of days prior to the hatching, so it’s like part egg and part duckling body/brains. Was really gross, my friend puked right after he put in his mouth, i chewed then gagged then chewed then gagged and my throat muscles were working their hardest pushing the baby duckling down my throat. Was a funny experience, i can almost gaurantee i’ll NEVER try it again!!!!!

UPDATE!: check out this picture of a really late blooming peice of Balut, it is pretty much turned into a full baby duck, so NASTY! Pic is here

    Balut isn’t bad, had some the other day at a Boodle Fight. It all depends on how far along the egg is and I don’t know about the one you had but the eggs we had had been boiled. Besides being hot, it was really good.

    Did your balut look the same as the ones in my pics above???
