Balut-A delicacy of the Philippines


So.......the big question, did I or did I not try Balut??

The answer is YES!  I was more than a little nervous to try this new food but I am proud to say that I did eat balut and I liked the flavor.  For those of you who don't know, balut is a fertilized duck egg.  This means that there are pin feathers and other body parts.  The egg itself tasted like a hard boiled egg but it was a little crunchy.  Often you see roadside stands selling these eggs.  I opted for eating one in a restaurant.  Would I do it again?  Probably. What's next?  Chickens feet? Chicken intestines? So many choices......

Keep checking the blog to see what happens next.

Shoutout to Russell:  I did it!
