Balut

 One of the famous food that the Filipinos are known for is the Balut. 

Balut is boiled fertilized duck egg with a 9 – 14 day old embryo inside.It is commonly sold as a streetfood during night time by a vendor roaming the street and carrying a basket of warm Balut.and no, we are not in Fear Factor.

My favorite Balut vendor posing for me…*laughs*
Balut (P12/each)
Balut are eaten with a sprinkling of salt or sometimes dipped in spicy vinegar. The broth surrounding the egg is sipped before the shell is peeled off. Balut is composed of the yolk, the chick embryo and the white,which at this time has toughened.It is believed to be an aphrodisiac and is very nutritious.
 I know, it doesn’t look very appetizing but it tastes really good. I love Balut but if I get one with a large duck embryo I don’t eat it and only consume the yolk.

    i ate balut last night. kakamiss eh. there was a time i stopped eating balut kc una kong nakain ung legs. ang sama ng lasa. tapos the next time i ate the first thing i saw ung eyes nung sisiw. hindi ko tinuloy ang pagkain. hehe! kaya siguro dapat daw sa madilim kinakain ang balut. lumipat ako sa penoy temporarily. pero iba talaga ang balut. lalo na ung sabaw. masarap kahit konti lang. hayyysssttt!!! sarap ng balut un lang gusto ko lang ishare. 🙂

    I consider myself a fairly adventurous eater but I have to say I don't think I could ever try this so I will have to take your word that it is indeed good!:0)

    This must be one of those things you have to try first when you're too young to know any better ;).

    Thanks for your nice comment about my blueberry lemonade post – you can also use strawberries or raspberries.

    Happy cooking!

    ok, I saw this in TV. And there is no way I'll ever eat it, I'm sorry. It probably tastes good, as all ugly foods are, but I don't think I can stomach the sight of that!
    But I'm REALLY fascinated to see your different foods…something you don't see much in most food blogs!

    Oh my stars, you certainly have a different palate than I do to brave this duck egg. Goodness, I don't think I could ever eat it. This was certainly an interesting post, however.
