Balut: Can You Eat This? (Pictures) by Mariangeles(op): 3:05pm On Jun 24, 2025
It is called balut .
It is fertilized duck egg (embryos), usually incubated for a period of about 17-21 days, before it is cooked.
A popular street food, commonly eaten (with salt) in the Philippines.
It is high in protein.

To eat, the top of the egg is gently cracked and peeled a bit, the broth inside slurped up, then the rest of egg peeled and eaten (its entire content).

I got to know about it through a Filipino series I watched sometime ago.

So, can you dare to eat balut?
What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

That's cannibalism in disguise. A thread like this with simple "Yes" or "Never" replies option is a good place to enforce lower than 40 character reply rule. Cc Seun.

Honestly, in my opinion, that should be considered animal cruelty.

I don't know what hunger will make me eat baby animals.

undecided
Thinking about it already is making me puke.
Pure animal cruelty.
Not different from Ch.inese people eating animals alive.

cheesy I don't see a problem here.

Several times when me and my gang stole neighbors' fowls' eggs when we were 7 yrs, we ate that shiiii.

Recently my grandma cooked one for me. It was really crunchy. You might be tempted to remove the little feathers before crunching away, but don't! It tastes better with the feathers trust me.

Also, before I forget, start eating it from the head, and don't remove the beak first. Really good stuff, especially when half done.
